REQUIREMENTS to compile GRASS GIS 7
A workstation running some flavor of UNIX like Solaris, IRIX,
GNU/Linux, BSD, Mac OS X, Cygwin or MinGW (on Win32). Ideally, you
should have at least 500 Mb. The source code package needs around 80
MB compressed. The resulting binaries may need between 20 MB and 180
MB depending on your platform. During a full compilation you may need
temporarily up to 550MB including the source code.
To disable features please read the INSTALL file.
General requirements:
(most tools are standard tools on GNU/Linux, for other platforms you may have
to install some of them.)
Optional requirements:
- C++ Compiler (required for the various C++ GRASS module)
gcc: http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html
- FFTW 2.x or 3.x (library for computing the Discrete Fourier Transform), required
for i.fft and i.ifft and other modules
http://www.fftw.org
- GEOS (Geometry Engine library), adds extended options to the v.select module
http://trac.osgeo.org/geos
- LAPACK / BLAS (libraries for numerical computing) for GMATH library (GRASS Numerical Library)
http://www.netlib.org/lapack (usually available on Linux distros)
Note: LAPACK/BLAS support is intended for future module
implementations, no need to use it at time!
- NetCDF (for 3D raster netcdf export)
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/
- If hardware openGL support is missing in the X
Server, Mesa-3.x (openGL clone) may be required for wxNVIZ
http://mesa3d.sourceforge.net
- libpng (for r.out.png and the PNG driver), usually already installed.
http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html
- libtiff (for r.out.tiff), usually already installed.
http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff
- readline for extra command prompt functionality
http://tiswww.case.edu/~chet/readline/rltop.html
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline
- PostgreSQL libraries (for the PostgreSQL database interface and PostGIS support)
http://www.postgresql.org
- MySQL libraries (for the MySQL database interface)
http://www.mysql.org
- SQLite libraries (for the SQLite database interface)
http://www.sqlite.org
- unixODBC (for the ODBC database interface)
http://www.unixodbc.org
- R language (for the R statistical language interface)
http://cran.r-project.org
- FreeType2 (for TrueType font support and d.text.freetype)
http://freetype.sourceforge.net
- Python >= 2.6 (for wxGUI and ctypes interface)
Note: Python 3 is not supported

- Ctypes (for ctypes interface)
Ctypes can be added as a third-party module in Python 2.3 and 2.4
- http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ctypes/1.0.2
http://docs.python.org/library/ctypes.html
- wxPython >= 2.8.10.1 (for wxGUI)
http://www.wxpython.org
- NumPy >= 1.0.4 (for various wxGUI components and pyGRASS)
http://numpy.org
- Python dateutil Library ("python-dateutil", needed for the tgrass modules t.*)
http://labix.org/python-dateutil
- Python Imaging Library or PILLOW (highly recommended for wxGUI and necessary for wxGUI Cartographic Composer)
http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil,
a newer version is "python-pillow"
- FFMPEG (for direct rendering of animations from wxNVIZ),
including libavcodec, libavformat, libswscale
http://ffmpeg.org
- Cairo >= 1.5.8 (for Cairo driver)
http://cairographics.org
- AVCE00 and E00Compr Libraries (avcimport)
