This page describes the current status of winGRASS development. Precompiled native winGRASS packages are available here.

Known problems

  • Have to add c:\mingw\bin to PATH on some systems.
    • Shouldn't the MinGW installer add c:\mingw\bin to PATH?
  • Cannot display a thematic layer.
  • Need a decent prompt.

TclTk problems

  • file command returns bad code (catch is needed): http://sources.redhat.com/ml/insight/2003-q1/msg00079.html
    • catch{file copy}
    • catch{file delete}
    • catch{file rename -force} does not work. Delete old file first: catch{file delete}; catch{file rename}
  • file redirection (>@stdout, 2>@stderr) does not work: http://wiki.tcl.tk/672
    • exec a batch file doing redirection (>&2, 2>&1)
  • no -permissions file attributes
    • catch {file attributes -permissions}

What is missing?

  • Display drivers: socket
    • Use gis.m instead of monitors.
    • Make gis.m Output window more like xterm. No need to hit Run.
    • Is there any way that the Map Display in gis.m can interact with console commands? IPC? File Alteration Monitor?
  • i.class: SIGALRM, SIGTSTP
  • i.ortho.photo/photo.2image: wait()
  • i.ortho.photo/photo.2target: wait()
  • i.points: wait()
  • i.vpoints: wait()
  • r.terraflow: getrusage()
