Dears,

I cannot get GRASS GIS 7.8 to compile with

Hi Nikos,

PROJ is moving fast, please use the latest PROJ 6 release 6.3.0

if possible, never use a x.0.0 release of any software, these new major releases are usually full of bugs.

Thank you Markus!
I got it working, more or less. Recompiling only PROJ did away most of
the errors but a few. I guess I need to recompile PROJ (+GEOS), then
GDAL, then the rest.

Cheers, Nikos

Would you mind to then add/update the relevant section in

?

Yes, IME the compile sequence to satisfy dependencies is (with optional in parentheses):

geos, proj, (netcdf), libgeotiff, (spatialite), GDAL, GRASS

Of course I will, but the https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/FuntooLinux
wiki page. Not the generic, which I think is still valid.

(...why is there no `make uninstall` for PROJ, GEOS, etc.?)

if you compile from source, it is mostly your responsibility to clean up old installations. Generally, cleaning up should happen in
${prefix}/lib[64]
${prefix}/include
${prefix}/share

regarding PROJ, cleaning up ${prefix}/share with the proj.db and grids is quite important because PROJ is evolving fast and any leftovers from a previous installation might confuse software compiled against PROJ.

Regarding GDAL compilation against PROJ, there was in GDAL 2 the configure option
–with-static-proj4=ARG Compile with PROJ.4 statically (deprecated, use --with-proj instead) (ARG=no or path)
in GDAL 3 there is only
–with-proj=ARG Compile with PROJ.x (ARG=yes or path)

This static proj linking in GDAL does not mean to link against a static PROJ library, but to statically link against a given dynamic PROJ library, i.e. the same PROJ library used at compile time will also be used at run time. This is important to make sure that GDAL is not suddenly picking a different PROJ library at run time when a new PROJ library becomes available.

I ran in all these problems myself when adding support for PROJ 4, 5, and 6 in GRASS.

(...why is there no `make uninstall` for PROJ, GEOS, etc.?)

if you compile from source, it is mostly your responsibility to clean up

(Is there a good reason not to provide for `make uninstall` besides
more workload? --I actually have no idea what it takes to do so!)

Generally, cleaning up should happen in
${prefix}/lib[64]
${prefix}/include
${prefix}/share

Do you create yourself a "hardcoded" list of files you need to remove?
Otherwise, it's a time consuming hunting of files here and there.

regarding PROJ, cleaning up ${prefix}/share with the proj.db and grids is
quite important because PROJ is evolving fast and any leftovers from a
previous installation might confuse software compiled against PROJ.

That I forgot to remove :D.
Won't existing files be overwritten by `make install` as root?

Regarding GDAL compilation against PROJ, there was in GDAL 2 the configure
option
--with-static-proj4=ARG Compile with PROJ.4 statically (deprecated, use
--with-proj instead) (ARG=no or path)

Actually, I did remote the `share/proj` directory too before
re-installing PROJ.
