Greetyings all
I have installed and compiled GRASS 6.4 source code. Then, I decided to update with a weekly snapshot (the latest!). My question is: is it suppose to have 2 different compiled/installed folders, one for RC and other to SVN?Or was it suppose the SVN folder to be extracted/installed inthe original folder?
Best regards
Luis
Hi Luis. Hope I am giving some pointers below.

(a) You mean "svn up" within the grass64 source code version? Then you
will update whatever has been changed and you need to recompile/
reinstall of course.
(b) If you mean version grass65 or grass70 then you need to get the
whole code in an extra directory and configure/compile/install.
Trying to keep things "cleaner" you can configure/compile another
version and instead of installing it, link the respective to-be-executed
file (e.g. I use a link under /usr/local/bin which points to
"/geo/osgeo/src/grass_trunk/dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/grass70.tmp").
My question is: is it suppose to have 2 different compiled/installed
folders, one for RC and other to SVN?
Or was it suppose the SVN folder to be extracted/installed inthe
original folder?
Hmm... but you can get an RC using SVN. RC= release candidate, SVN=
subversion, tool for version control management or something like that
(?).

Yes.

No.
Different major versions (i.e. each branch or tag) usually have
different source and installation directories, so that you can have
multiple versions installed.
You can rename the source directory as you see fit, and you can
control the installation directory when running "make install" with
the INST_DIR variable, e.g. "make install INST_DIR=/usr/local/grass".
