Installing GRASS
From Wildsong
Official [GRASS Web site]
Windows 2000
I have not tried to build GRASS on a Windows system yet. I just download and install the binaries from the GRASS Web site. Current version is 5.7.0 Go there, go to the binaries download page, and follow the "detailed instructions".
Brace yourself. :-)
To make porting GRASS to Windows as easy as possible, it runs under "Cygwin". Cygwin is a port of the GNU environment to Windows. Since Linux is basically a GNU environment, this is sort of like running Linux on top of Windows. If I didn't have to use ArcView, I'd ditch Windows and run GRASS directly in Linux.
