Description

On 64bit version of QGIS under windows, grass plugin doesn't work. Program crashes and a minidump is generated. Also Grass command under processing toolbox do not work. 1.8 and last master are affected. Is it a known iussue?

History

#1 Updated by Giovanni Manghi about 11 years ago

I can confirm the issue on QGIS 64bit/osgeo4w. GRASS itself works, so it should really be a QGIS issue. Hopefully is a packaging issue.

#2 Updated by Radim Blazek about 11 years ago

What exactly does not work?
  • GRASS layers visualization?
  • GRASS modules from plugin GUI?
  • GRASS modules from QGIS GRASS shell?

Isn't it possible that 64bit modules are run with 32bit libs or vice versa? I am just guessing. The path to GRASS modules is taken from WINGISBASE or GISBASE environment variables or from /GRASS/gisbase QGIS settings. The path to libs should be set in qgis.bat.

Try to verify if your QGIS registry /GRASS/gisbase does not point to 32bit version and path in qgis.bat is correct etc.

opening a mapset qgis crashes
creating a mapset qgis crashes (when selecting the CRS)

in sextante when opening a grass module the result is

g.proj.exe has stopped working

grass itself works.

this is qgis-dev.bat

#4 Updated by Steven Horner about 11 years ago

I get the same problem when trying to run a GRASS module from within Sextante (r.los) in my case. This happens on both latest weekly 64bit build in Windows and in nightly build in Ubuntu.

I get the same message as you in Windows and I get no message in Ubuntu it just freezes up.

Can you add debug output from DebugView here? Everything it prints after you click OK in open mapset dialog until it crashes.

#7 Updated by Steven Horner about 11 years ago

I'm not sure if this is any help but when running the nightly build 64bit under Ubuntu.
If I try to run r.los under processing (Sextante) I click r.los and I am stuck with the loading symbol. The following are the logs.

I will try running from within GRASS in QGIS

#8 Updated by Gerhard Spieles about 11 years ago

Path in qgis-dev.bat leads to directory OSGEO4W --> = 32 bit.
The standard path for 64bit is "OSGEO4W64".
Maybe, that is an issue?

I have installed the 64bit osgeo4w stack in c:\\osgeo4w and got the same issues.

#10 Updated by Jürgen Fischer about 11 years ago

  • Status changed from Open to Closed
  • Resolution set to up-/downstream

Try grass-6.4.3-3. Still this is a packaging problem in OSGeo4W (probably due to mingw64 being able to link .lib files, but producing broken binaries in that case) and not a qgis problem.

#11 Updated by Alessandro Ciali about 11 years ago

Installed grass 6.4.3-3, I confirm that Qgis 64bit on win7 now is working fine.
Thanks
