Hi Dear Grass's Users,
As you knows, I, and many others people, have
found many trobles in many programs in binary version
for GRASS4.1 and solaris....(i.e)
d.what.rast
d.where
r.mapcalc
r.in.poly
r.out.poly
s.menu
d.3d
g.region
etc....
For many time we are looking for a solution, between
the Grass comunity.. however there's not a effective response
for this requeriment....
Well, I think that a good person, what has compiled Grass
under solaris in his own machine could send us these program,
(in GISBASE/etc/bin) .... if somebody migth do this...please
e-mail me to
nsegura@halcon.dpi.udec.cl
hmmm... please report any other dificultate in solaris version
to the same address
thnank you
as a general trend (especially with linux users, and now
with solaris users), I see people more and more wanting binary versions.
What's wrong with getting the source code and compiling it?
Do people generally find the process too cumbersome or daunting?
I'm genuinely curious.
- The compilation process has gotten much easier over the past
4 or 5 years - most things (everything?) in the src/ dir
compiles without a hitch/warning. Is the process too difficult?
Are there too many steps involved?
- With increased speeds of workstations,
compilation time has decreased by at least 50% (probably more,
but then grass has increased in size). Is time a problem?
- With the availability of gcc, compiler availability is
*not* a problem.
- There's a step-by-step document on "how-to" for those
unfamiliar with the process. Is the documentation difficult
to understand?
Are there suggestions for making the process easier?
