[GRASS-dev] How to compile a script in GRASS

GRASS GIS GRASS GIS developer
1

Greetings

I have GRASS script and I want to compile it in Linux.
I have used other files (like r.example) as an example and when I try to run it like (e.g. r.example)
cd r.example
make

I get:
Makefile:5: …/…/include/Make/Script.make: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `…/…/include/Make/Script.make’. Stop.

Why am I missing? I have GRASS6.4.1 installed.
Thanks
Luisa

You need to
- either also install the grass-dev(el) package
- or configure the source code and compile at least the
  libraries

I have installed GRASS 6.4.1 from ELGIS.argeo repository (grass.x86_64) and installed. Also I have installed grass-devel package fromt he same repository. What is not correc in this?
Or at least, can anyone point me where can I get all steps of this procedure?

Yes it is. The question where your module is stored. If it is outside
the GRASS source code directory then you need to tell "make" where
to find it.

# adapt path to your system:
make MODULE_TOPDIR=/usr/lib64/grass641/

Hope this helps

Hi Markus

(please keep it on the list)

I have tried

... what? need to know it.

Does
/usr/lib64/grass-6.4.1/include/Make/
exist?

Markus

and I got:
Makefile:5: /usr/lib64/grass-6.4.1/include/Make/Script.make: No such file or
directory
make: *** No rule to make target
`/usr/lib64/grass-6.4.1/include/Make/Script.make'. Stop.

The thing is that there is no Include/Make in my GRASS folder. But I have
installed grass+libs+devel packages

I have tried your suggestion

sudo make MODULE_TOPDIR=/usr/lib64/grass641/

No… That folder does not exist

so, then please check where the folder is... I don't know the
packaging scheme of your Linux distro.
