GRASS 6.4.3RC1 on Win 7: grass64.bat fails due to UNIX line endings in Init.bat — at Initial Version

Reported by: msieczka Owned by: grass-dev@…
Priority: critical Milestone: 6.4.3
Component: Startup Version: 6.4.3 RCs
Keywords: Init.bat, CRLF, wingrass Cc: grass-dev@…
CPU: x86-64 Platform: MSWindows 7

Description

There's a following error at GRASS 6.4.3RC1 startup in text mode on Win 7 64bit:

C:\>"C:\Program Files (x86)\GRASS GIS 6.4.3RC1\grass64.bat" -text
The system cannot find the batch label specified - aftertextcheck

The problem is in the etc\Init.bat where the "aftertextcheck" label is used - looks like Windows expects "\r\n" at the end of the label name rather than "\n".

Are the Windows builds done on Linux? If so, I guess the root cause is eol-style=native on lib/init/init.bat in the GRASS repo. The solution would be to set eol-style=CRLF, or maybe to tweak the makefile to run tr/unix2dos/... on etc/Init.bat.

Opinions?

There are plenty of *.bat with LF instead of CRLF in the GRASS installation dir. Shouldn't they all have CRLF line endings?:

$ cd '/c/Program Files (x86)/GRASS GIS 6.4.3RC1'
$ find . -type f -iname '*.bat' -print0 | xargs -0 grep -Ulv $'\r' | wc -l
