[GRASS-dev] grass && standalone apps

Hi all,

How to use grass library (only vector digitize) without installing grass.? I need to make an application that digitize a scanned map. Can I use grass’s vector digitizer library in my application and do digitize of map and store vector data in GRASS’s vector data format. I know I can do this using GRASS. But I need to make a standalone application which does only digitization of a map and create a new vector file and store t in GRASS Database format without installing GRASS

You will have to take over also the linked libraries (Vector lib, DBMI
stuff and so
on) since GRASS vector data are saved in a special format.

With "ldd" you can find the needed libraries. Likely also
initialization stuff is
needed and perhaps more.

Maybe you could use http://www.mapserver.sk/~wonder/qgis/html/ for the
gui and use then the GRASS plugin to connect to GRASS?
