winGRASS 6.4.0RC2 available in OSGeo4W installer

[Markus Neteler]

The new winGRASS 6.4.0RC2 is now available! It has been
packaged into the OSGeo4W installer which also provides
QGIS, Mapserver, GDAL and other goodies.

OSGeo4W has two modes - express and advanced.

"Express" gives you a short list of suggested packages to select
from which have been widely tested.
"Advanced" gives a long detailed list of packages and
subpackages including development versions and so forth.
For the moment GRASS is available in the "advanced" install.
After a period of testing it may be moved to the "express" section.

OSGeo4W Installer download:
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/osgeo4w-setup.exe

Please download it and test. The wizard will guide you
through the installation process.

Find GRASS in
Advanced -> ... -> Select Packages
   All -> Desktop -> grass (just click to select) -> Next

Feedback is appreciated in two "channels":

BTW: The OSGeo4W team is seeking a new GRASS package
maintainer, we hope to find a candidate soon - please speak up.

Enjoy,
Markus

We already got some testers.

Improvement: to get the graphical tcltk user interface, install
also the ActiveTcl library:

* Advanced   -> ... -> Select Packages

therein
* All
    * Desktop
        * grass (just click to select)
        * tcltk: ActiveTcl (just click to select)
   -> Next ...

The new wxPython based interface isn't yet enabled. This will
hopefully change asap. Please, anyway, give it a try.
