Greetings all:
I have a laptop that I need GRASS5.0 on but it's a bit short of hard drive space.
I have been able to use NFS and another much larger PC to run "configure" and
create a Makefile but I haven't figured out how to get "make" to run via NFS....
do the actual building on the big machine and then do the install onto the laptop.
If that's not possible is it possible to have the compiler run so that doesn't use so
much space? I realize this may extend the time involved.
Thanks for any suggestions.

The easiest solution is to simply build everything on the larger
system, then copy the resulting installation across to the laptop.
Ideally, use "cp -a" (with GNU "cp") to preserve the hard links in
$GISBASE/bin; otherwise, you will need to rebuild that directory using
"gmakelinks5 -i" after copying.
