Dear GRASSians,

I'm trying to install GRASS 5.3 in a cygwin environment. I specifically 
want to use the GRASS to connect to an extrenal DBMS (MySQL) via ODBC.
I manually compiled andinstallled Grass5.3 with the odbc feature 
(./configure --with-odbc --without-postgres and so on). When I open 
GRASS, it doesn't support the dbms drivers, since I get following error: 
"Error trying to read dbmscap file".

I checked the installation procedure for ODBC-GRASS 5.0 
(http://grass.itc.it/sqlgrass/odbc_grass_install.html). As stated there 
i dowloaded and compiles the unixODBC driver. I did not install the 
ODBC-Config, nor the Datamanager, since it was not necessary. It also 
states that I shoud have the GRASS-to-odbc-driver.
In my case the folder $GISBASE/driver/db is empty. As such I don't see 
the folder /odbc nor any related files. As indicated I tried to compile 
grass/src/libes/dbmi/drivers/odbc/. The INSTALL file in this folder 
states the following:

1. Download, compile, install and configure ODBC (http://www.unixodbc.org/)
2. Copy ODBC include files to /usr/include/odbc
3. Compile src/libes/dbmi/drivers/odbc
4. Add row for ODBC driver to dbmscap file

I did step 1. Strangely enough I don't have any files in 
usr/local/unixODBC/include so Step 2 is a problem. I don't know what i 
can do about it?

Secondly I have a problem with step 3. It states: Compile... but I don't 
see any configure nor make...
I might sound a stupid question but how do I compile 
src/libes/dbmi/drivers/odbc? I have no idea...

Thanx in advance,
Stefaan
