Hello everyone,
I’ve been following this newsletter for some time, and this is my first post… I’m a newbie and my english isn’t the best… anyway, thanks in advance for your time.
Here’s what I want to do:
I want to create a new module, based on r.covar, but that will calculate different statistical indexes.
I installed Grass 6.4 on ubuntu 10.04 using Ubuntu Software Center — specifically these packages:
grass, grass-dev, libgdal1-1.7.0-grass;
I also downloaded the source file and makefile of “r.covar” from this page: http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/branches/develbranch_6/raster/r.covar and I’m ready to dive into the programming of the script, but I don’t know how to test run my new code, because off course I have to compile it.
I’ve never compiled a module: where do I put the sources and what should I do to obtain the new compiled module? Do I have to download the full grass source code (http://grass.osgeo.org/download/software.php)?
Can anyone please guide me in this compiling world that’s completely new to me?
Thanks in advance!
