[GRASS-user] Building from -7.2 svn checkout

   I want to take advantage of 7.2 capabilities so I checked out the source
tree from svn. I have a customized configuration file which ran without
error. But, ... there's no make file in the tree route. There's a
non-executable Makefile, but that's it.

   The INSTALL file assumes that make is present: it has a list of make
options followed by the instruction to run 'make' after configuring the
build.

   Please point me to the make file for 7.2svn.

TIA,

Rich

The "make" is to be provided by your system, it is a binary package.
That will read the "Makefile" then.

On my Fedora box it is the package "make-4.1-5.fc24.x86_64".

You will need to install it along with a compiler, e.g. "gcc" or "clang".

Markus,

   Huh! Seems to me it was always part of the svn checkout.

You will need to install it along with a compiler, e.g. "gcc" or "clang".

   Of course ... these are always part of the base distribution.

   Mea culpa. My fingers sped ahead of my brain and I entered 'time ./make'
rather than 'time make'. The latter works just as it always did.

Apologies to all,

Rich

Please let us know if and what to reword in the INSTALL file. Happy to do that!
