Compiling extra modules for GRASS GIS
To compile extra modules (e.g. from untested section) you
have to perform two steps:
1. Enter the directory of the module where the Gmakefile is
stored. If there are several Gmakefiles, enter the
"root directory" of this module.
E.g.
cd src.alpha/vector/v.in.shape
The Gmakefile should be here.
1. Say
gmake4.3
there.
If you are using GRASS 5.x, say
gmake5.0
The module will be compiled now. The GRASS libraries
must have been compiled before. If not, you have to compile
the GRASS package first. For that follow the instructions here.
If you should receive a compiling error, fix it and say
gmake4.3
again.
2. Now you have to include the module into the GRASS
binary tree by using the script MAKELINKS.my.
You find this script in
src43/src/CMD/
Go there and say
MAKELINKS.my
The script will create links for all modules again
including you new module.
That is all... Start GRASS and use the new module.
