[GRASS5] New configure

Hi developers,

We can not determine full path to install GRASS with new configure.
${prefix}/grass5 is the default, however how can i change this to
/usr/local/grass or etc? :frowning:

And another problem:
I could set ${prefix}=/usr/local/grass and ${bindir}=/usr/local/grass/bin
with old configure.
However, i have no clue about ${prefix}/??? with new configure, just trial
and error? I could not know ${prefix}/grass5 was used until first trial.
At the second time configuring, I could set ${bindir}=/usr/local/grass5/bin.

I think old configure would be better for flexible and easy setting.

Regards,
Huidae Cho

You can't at the moment. The GISBASE is kinda hardcoded to this in
configure (you could probably hack the configure script directly if you
wanted, search for NAME_VER and you'll find the spot to change).

And another problem:

This is related. --bindir= should work still to set some other path for
the start-up script.

I think old configure would be better for flexible and easy setting.

Just regards these recent changes, or overall?

Hi again,

instead of answering individual question, I propose you
try the current CVS version. I have reverted partly.
I have seen that it was hardcoded and changed the related
files:

configure
configure.in
Makefile.in
src/CMD/head/head.in
src/scripts/shells/create_fifos.sh.in

What you can do now:
configure (with or without autoconf)
-> Installs into /usr/local/grass5

configure --prefix=/opt
-> Installs into /opt/grass5

Hope that's o.k. for beta9. I definitly want to get it out NOW.
Of course I listen to your comments first :slight_smile:

Yours

Markus

O.k., no comments received. So I start tagging now.
Please don't check in for some minutes from now.

I'll post another mail if finished.

Thanks
