[GRASS-user] Just a successful report ; -) --- Compiling GRASS source code under Ubuntu 7.10 64-bit with...

GRASS GRASS user

... support for 64-bit, SQLite, OpenGL, PYTHON, FFMPEG

It's FAST :wink:

I would like to put that on the wiki if there no objections.

# Compiling latest GRASS source code on a 64-bit machine (with ATI
graphic card) under Ubuntu 7.10 64-bit with support for:

64-but, SQLite, OpenGL, PYTHON, FFMPEG

GDAL/OGR

# installing SQLite

sudo apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev

#Download latest source code from GRASS SVN repository

svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/trunk grass_trunk
  
# in case of a subsequent update use the command "svn up" (without
quotes)

# Before attempting to compile GRASS...
# READ section (C) in the INSTALL file located in the main directory of
GRASS source code

and re-run configuration

# (1) cd /usr/include/GL

# (3) back to "configuration"

# compilation

*** NOTES ***

# In case of errors in future compilation attempts, remember to remove
program binaries

# ...installing FFTW

cd fftw-2.1.5/

Not needed. On Gutsy the stock FFTW 3 suffices.

Thanx for the tip. I can just add the rest then.

For Ubuntu there are already some tips on the wiki here:
http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/wiki/Installation_Guide#Ubuntu

http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/wiki/Compile_and_Install#Ubuntu_6.06.2C_7.10

and in general the Debian instructions there should work as well.

e.g. on Debian based distros it may be as simple as:
   # first install PROJ, then GDAL.
   cd grass63/
   # follow instructions in debian/README.debian
   fakeroot buildpackage

Hello!

I would like to put that on the wiki if there no objections.

I would like to have your nice HowTo in the wiki.

We could think to develop a script that does the GRASS compilation and install each time there's a new version out.

Cheers,
Timmie

Hi,
that is not *that* easy. Because of new development introduces new
dependencies, and you have to fix them manually in debian/control file

This is on the (long) TODO list. The idea (one idea) is to use the buildbot
from OSGeo for this purpose (http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/BuildBot_Configuration).
I guess we need a volunteer or two for this...

Attached is a txt file slightly modified (removed the FFTW section).

SuperSimple question:

I am not sure how to upload the file in the wiki although I have seen an
"upload" link. I ask before I do it... is it a "global" upload tool or
is it necessary to upload something from within a specific page of the
wiki?

I could (try to) join this attempt although my knowledge is rather
limited.

better post it as normal wiki page, rather then attachment

Finally I realised my arbitrariness to introduce in the wiki the steps
for GRASS' source code compilation with 64-bit support under Ubuntu 7.10
64-bit:
