[GRASSLIST:6025] Compile grass in a machine, install into another?

GRASS GRASS user

Hello;
I compiled grass5 from the sources into my machine. But I want to install
the binary ones that I obtained in another machine. Without having to
recompile.
I can do it with make or with stable version of grass install script?

Or always I must compile in every machine that I want to install the last
version of grass?

Thanks,

Miguel

You should be able to copy the binary installation between similar
machines. You need the installation directory (e.g. /usr/local/grass5),
plus the grass5 script (e.g. /usr/local/bin/grass5).

The simplest way is to create a tar file, e.g.:

  tar cf ~/grass.tar /usr/local/grass5 /usr/local/bin/grass5

then copy it to the destination machine and extract it, e.g.:

  tar cCf / ~/grass.tar
