[GRASS5] grass5install.sh

Hi Justin,

a proposal concerning the grass5 start script:

Perhaps
src/general/init/Gmakefile
should
1. store the "grass5" script into GISBASE (instead of UNIX_BIN)
2. then copy from GISBASE to UNIX_BIN

When installing as user:
Then the grass5install.sh can get this script from GISBASE
(out of the tar package) and put into UNIX_BIN. This simplifies
the grass5install.sh section.

What do you think about this idea?

Pretty good idea, the only problem would be changing the line
GISBASE=/usr/local/grass5

The idea I had was to use awk in the binaryInstall.src file to create
the proper echo commands in the grass5install.sh file. I'll look into
both ideas to see what I can come up with.

Me again.

An addition: Above proposal should be postponed for the next release
as we would have to publish a new tarball.

Do you think it's feasible *this* time to solve the problem by only
updating the install script?

If not, we directly go for beta10 today/tomorrow...

As I said in my previous message, I'll let you know. That's why I was
looking at the awk solution since it did not effect the tarball.

Talk to you soon, on to testing.
