[GRASSLIST:5555] WG: compilation grass-6.0.0beta1

Dear All!
I tried the compilation of grass-6.0.0beta1 and
grass-6.0.cvs_src_snapshot_2005_01_29. The first step of compilation filed:
After typing ./configure or CFLAGS="-g -Wall" (or just ./configure) I got
the error
Checking whether to use GDAL ... yes
Checking for gdal-config no
Configure: error: *** couldn't find gdal-config.

I use the latest distribution of cygwin/xserver on windows xp. I tried it
also on a windows 2000 computer and got the same error. It would be great if
I can get any suggestions. Thanks, Jan

You usually need to install GDAL (for importing and exporting maps)
before compiling GRASS, see:
http://gdal.org/

to compile without GDAL support (making GRASS much less useful) try:
./configure --without-gdal

but install GDAL if you can before trying that..
