* To build an updated version of GRASS or support libraries unmodified, in most cases it will be easier to use an automated build tool such as ''pbuilder'', ''debuild'' or ''cowbuilder''. See the <source lang="bash" enclose="none">debian/</source> directory in the source code for details.
== Quick instructions ==
 
These instructions should work fine on Ubuntu distributions prior to release 20.04:
 
1. Install some dependencies (PROJ, GEOS, GDAL libraries) and the compiler tools <br />
(note: for GRASS GIS 7.8+ you need Python 3!)
<source lang="bash">
# be sure to have an updated system
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
 
# install PROJ
sudo apt-get install libproj-dev proj-data proj-bin unzip -y
 
# optionally, install (selected) datum grid files
cd /tmp
# Future: The proj-datumgrid packages have been deprecated with PROJ 7.0.0+
wget -c https://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-datumgrid-world-latest.zip
wget -c https://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-datumgrid-oceania-latest.zip
wget -c https://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-datumgrid-north-america-latest.zip
wget -c https://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-datumgrid-europe-latest.zip
# unpack and remove zip files
cd /usr/share/proj/
for datumfile in $(ls /tmp/proj-datumgrid-*-latest.zip) ; do
  sudo unzip $datumfile && rm -f $datumfile
done
 
# install GEOS
sudo apt-get install libgeos-dev -y
 
# install GDAL
sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev python3-gdal gdal-bin -y
 
# install PDAL (optional)
sudo apt-get install libpdal-dev pdal libpdal-plugin-python -y
 
# recommended to give Python3 precedence over Python2 (which is end-of-life since 2019)
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3 1
</source>
 
Install compiler stuff and further dependencies.
Note: this is a single command, please copy-paste it entirely into the terminal:
 
<source lang="bash">

For NVIZ on Ubuntu 20.04:
<source lang="bash">
sudo apt-get install \

  libffmpegthumbnailer-dev \
  libavcodec-dev \
  libxmu-dev \
  libavformat-dev libswscale-dev
</source>


* Some things change fast and therefore it is expected that the instructions might fail. Please inform the grass-user list in case something just does not work (like for example non-available dependecies/packages from the repositories) or update this page respectively.
Now we have all "ingredients" readily installed on our system.
 
'''Source code download''':
 
There a two ways of getting the source code: either use a) the weekly snapshot (cannot be updated, or b) the source code from the GitHub repository (you can update your local copy easily in future):
 
'''a) Download of the weekly source code snapshot (not recommended):'''
<source lang="bash">
# download latest GRASS GIS 7.x stable release source code:
mkdir $HOME/src/
cd  $HOME/src/
wget https://grass.osgeo.org/grass78/source/snapshot/grass-7.8.git_src_snapshot_latest.tar.gz
 
# Unpack source code package and remove tarball archive:
tar xvfz grass-7.8.git_src_snapshot_latest.tar.gz
rm -f grass-7.8.git_src_snapshot_latest.tar.gz
 
# rename source code directory (yes, with the questionmarks!)
mv grass-7.8.git_src_snapshot_20??_??_?? grass-7.8.latest
cd grass-7.8.latest/
</source>
 
'''b) Download of the current development version from GitHub (adopt the path below accordingly)'''
<source lang="bash">
git clone https://github.com/OSGeo/grass.git grass-7.8.latest.git
cd grass-7.8.latest.git/
git checkout releasebranch_7_8
</source>
 
Now we can '''compile''' the source code in order to generate the GRASS GIS binaries:
 
<source lang="bash">
# "configure" source code for local machine (checks for CPU type etc):
MYCFLAGS='-O2 -fPIC -fno-common -fexceptions -std=gnu99 -fstack-protector -m64'
#MYCXXFLAGS=''
MYLDFLAGS='-Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,-z,now'
 
LDFLAGS="$MYLDFLAGS" CFLAGS="$MYCFLAGS" CXXFLAGS="$MYCXXFLAGS" ./configure \
  --with-cxx \
  --enable-largefile \
  --with-proj --with-proj-share=/usr/share/proj \
  --with-gdal=/usr/bin/gdal-config \
  --with-python \
  --with-geos \
  --with-sqlite \
  --with-nls \
  --with-zstd \
  --with-liblas \
  --with-pdal \
  --with-cairo --with-cairo-ldflags=-lfontconfig \
  --with-freetype=yes --with-freetype-includes="/usr/include/freetype2/" \
  --with-wxwidgets \
  --with-fftw \
  --with-motif \
  --with-opengl-libs=/usr/include/GL \
  --with-postgres=yes --with-postgres-includes="/usr/include/postgresql" \
  --without-netcdf \
  --without-mysql \
  --without-odbc \
  --without-openmp \
  --without-ffmpeg
</source>
For Ubuntu 20.04 remove --with-liblas :
<source lang="bash">
# "configure" source code for local machine (checks for CPU type etc):
MYCFLAGS='-O2 -fPIC -fno-common -fexceptions -std=gnu99 -fstack-protector -m64'
#MYCXXFLAGS=''
MYLDFLAGS='-Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,-z,now'


* GRASS version 6.5 exists for development purposes, testing features to-be backported to version 6.4. As such it may include unstable code and is not intended for production and end-users.
LDFLAGS="$MYLDFLAGS" CFLAGS="$MYCFLAGS" CXXFLAGS="$MYCXXFLAGS" ./configure \
  --with-cxx \
  --enable-largefile \
  --with-proj --with-proj-share=/usr/share/proj \
  --with-gdal=/usr/bin/gdal-config \
  --with-python \
  --with-geos \
  --with-sqlite \
  --with-nls \
  --with-zstd \
  --with-pdal \
  --with-cairo --with-cairo-ldflags=-lfontconfig \
  --with-freetype=yes --with-freetype-includes="/usr/include/freetype2/" \
  --with-wxwidgets \
  --with-fftw \
  --with-motif \
  --with-opengl-libs=/usr/include/GL \
  --with-postgres=yes --with-postgres-includes="/usr/include/postgresql" \
  --without-netcdf \
  --without-mysql \
  --without-odbc \
  --without-openmp \
  --without-ffmpeg
</source>


* An alternate method is to use the DebianGIS packaging scripts, which enable a lot of this to happen automatically (see [https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/branches/releasebranch_6_4/debian/README.debian debian/README.debian] in the GRASS Subversion source code repository). Specifically, this command will get you 90% of the way there: <source lang="bash">sudo apt-get build-dep grass</source>
: ''(you'll need to have the deb-src lines active in your /etc/apt/sources.list file)''


== Quick instructions ==
Now compile source code (takes some time as it generates binary code from the source code):
<source lang="bash">
# note: the more CPUs you have, the higher the -j number may be set to
# here: build using 4 CPU cores
make -j4
</source>


Install resulting GRASS GIS 7 binaries into /usr/local/:
<source lang="bash">
<source lang="bash">
tar xzf grass-6.4.3.tar.gz
sudo make install
cd grass-6.4.3/
</source>
# install build dependency packages:
sudo apt-get build-dep grass
# configure to taste..
CFLAGS="-O2 -ggdb -march=native -Wall -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -fno-common -Wextra -Wunused" \
  ./configure \
    --x-includes=/usr/include --x-libraries=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu \
    --with-tcltk-includes=/usr/include/tcl8.5 --with-cairo \
    --with-motif --with-python=/usr/bin/python2.7-config \
    --with-readline --with-cxx --with-odbc --with-sqlite \
    --with-freetype --with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2 \
    --with-postgres --with-proj-share=/usr/share/proj \
    --enable-64bit --with-pthread -with-openmp \
    --with-wxwidgets=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/wx/config/gtk2-unicode-release-2.8 \
    --with-geos \
    2>&1 | tee config_log.txt
# build using 4 CPU cores
time make -j 4 2>&1 | tee build_log.txt


sudo make install

Revision as of 11:36, 15 September 2020

Very Important notes

  • Pre-compiled packages and backports are available from UbuntuGIS via their ppa.launchpad repositories. This is by far the simplest and fastest solution. Please prefer it over the manual way of compiling source code yourself as described below.
    • Daily ready to installl GRASS GIS builds of the 7.x release branch and trunk are available from ppa:grass/grass-devel
      sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
      
      sudo add-apt-repository ppa:grass/grass-devel
      
    • Latest version of GRASS 7.x is available from ppa:grass/grass-stable
      sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ppa
      
      sudo add-apt-repository ppa:grass/grass-stable
      
    sudo apt-get update
    
    sudo apt-get install grass76
    

Quick instructions

These instructions should work fine on Ubuntu distributions prior to release 20.04:

1. Install some dependencies (PROJ, GEOS, GDAL libraries) and the compiler tools
(note: for GRASS GIS 7.8+ you need Python 3!)

# be sure to have an updated system
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

# install PROJ
sudo apt-get install libproj-dev proj-data proj-bin unzip -y

# optionally, install (selected) datum grid files
cd /tmp
# Future: The proj-datumgrid packages have been deprecated with PROJ 7.0.0+
wget -c https://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-datumgrid-world-latest.zip
wget -c https://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-datumgrid-oceania-latest.zip
wget -c https://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-datumgrid-north-america-latest.zip
wget -c https://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-datumgrid-europe-latest.zip
# unpack and remove zip files
cd /usr/share/proj/
for datumfile in $(ls /tmp/proj-datumgrid-*-latest.zip) ; do
  sudo unzip $datumfile && rm -f $datumfile
done

# install GEOS
sudo apt-get install libgeos-dev -y

# install GDAL
sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev python3-gdal gdal-bin -y

# install PDAL (optional)
sudo apt-get install libpdal-dev pdal libpdal-plugin-python -y

# recommended to give Python3 precedence over Python2 (which is end-of-life since 2019)
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3 1

Install compiler stuff and further dependencies. Note: this is a single command, please copy-paste it entirely into the terminal:

# for Ubuntu 19.04 (see below for Ubuntu 20.04)
sudo apt-get install \
  build-essential \
  flex make bison gcc libgcc1 g++ ccache \
  python3 python3-dev \
  python3-opengl \
  python-wxversion python-wxtools python-wxgtk3.0 python3-wxgtk4.0 \

This are optional video codec libraries for NVIZ video output for Ubuntu 19.04:

sudo apt-get install \
  libav-tools libavutil-dev ffmpeg2theora \
  libffmpegthumbnailer-dev \
  libavcodec-dev \
  libxmu-dev \
  libavformat-dev libswscale-dev

For Ubuntu 20.04:

 sudo apt-get install \
  build-essential \
  flex make bison gcc libgcc1 g++ ccache \
  python3 python3-dev \
  python3-opengl \
  python-wxversion python-wxtools python3-wxgtk4.0 \
  python3-dateutil libgsl-dev python3-numpy \
  wx3.0-headers wx-common  libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev \
  libwxbase3.0-dev   \
  libncurses5-dev \
  libbz2-dev \
  zlib1g-dev gettext \
  libtiff5-dev libpnglite-dev \
  libcairo2 libcairo2-dev \
  sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev \
  libpq-dev \
  libreadline6-dev libfreetype6-dev \
  libfftw3-3 libfftw3-dev \
  libboost-thread-dev libboost-program-options-dev  libpdal-dev\
  subversion libzstd-dev \
  checkinstall \
  libglu1-mesa-dev libxmu-dev \
  ghostscript wget -y

For NVIZ on Ubuntu 20.04:

sudo apt-get install \
  ffmpeg libavutil-dev ffmpeg2theora \
  libffmpegthumbnailer-dev \
  libavcodec-dev \
  libxmu-dev \
  libavformat-dev libswscale-dev

Now we have all "ingredients" readily installed on our system.

Source code download:

There a two ways of getting the source code: either use a) the weekly snapshot (cannot be updated, or b) the source code from the GitHub repository (you can update your local copy easily in future):

a) Download of the weekly source code snapshot (not recommended):

# download latest GRASS GIS 7.x stable release source code:
mkdir $HOME/src/
cd  $HOME/src/
wget https://grass.osgeo.org/grass78/source/snapshot/grass-7.8.git_src_snapshot_latest.tar.gz

# Unpack source code package and remove tarball archive:
tar xvfz grass-7.8.git_src_snapshot_latest.tar.gz
rm -f grass-7.8.git_src_snapshot_latest.tar.gz 

# rename source code directory (yes, with the questionmarks!)
mv grass-7.8.git_src_snapshot_20??_??_?? grass-7.8.latest
cd grass-7.8.latest/

b) Download of the current development version from GitHub (adopt the path below accordingly)

git clone https://github.com/OSGeo/grass.git grass-7.8.latest.git
cd grass-7.8.latest.git/
git checkout releasebranch_7_8

Now we can compile the source code in order to generate the GRASS GIS binaries:

# "configure" source code for local machine (checks for CPU type etc):
MYCFLAGS='-O2 -fPIC -fno-common -fexceptions -std=gnu99 -fstack-protector -m64'
#MYCXXFLAGS=''
MYLDFLAGS='-Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,-z,now'

LDFLAGS="$MYLDFLAGS" CFLAGS="$MYCFLAGS" CXXFLAGS="$MYCXXFLAGS" ./configure \
  --with-cxx \
  --enable-largefile \
  --with-proj --with-proj-share=/usr/share/proj \
  --with-gdal=/usr/bin/gdal-config \
  --with-python \
  --with-geos \
  --with-sqlite \
  --with-nls \
  --with-zstd \
  --with-liblas \
  --with-pdal \
  --with-cairo --with-cairo-ldflags=-lfontconfig \
  --with-freetype=yes --with-freetype-includes="/usr/include/freetype2/" \
  --with-wxwidgets \
  --with-fftw \
  --with-motif \
  --with-opengl-libs=/usr/include/GL \
  --with-postgres=yes --with-postgres-includes="/usr/include/postgresql" \
  --without-netcdf \
  --without-mysql \
  --without-odbc \
  --without-openmp \
  --without-ffmpeg

For Ubuntu 20.04 remove --with-liblas :

# "configure" source code for local machine (checks for CPU type etc):
MYCFLAGS='-O2 -fPIC -fno-common -fexceptions -std=gnu99 -fstack-protector -m64'
#MYCXXFLAGS=''
MYLDFLAGS='-Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,-z,now'

LDFLAGS="$MYLDFLAGS" CFLAGS="$MYCFLAGS" CXXFLAGS="$MYCXXFLAGS" ./configure \
  --with-cxx \
  --enable-largefile \
  --with-proj --with-proj-share=/usr/share/proj \
  --with-gdal=/usr/bin/gdal-config \
  --with-python \
  --with-geos \
  --with-sqlite \
  --with-nls \
  --with-zstd \
  --with-pdal \
  --with-cairo --with-cairo-ldflags=-lfontconfig \
  --with-freetype=yes --with-freetype-includes="/usr/include/freetype2/" \
  --with-wxwidgets \
  --with-fftw \
  --with-motif \
  --with-opengl-libs=/usr/include/GL \
  --with-postgres=yes --with-postgres-includes="/usr/include/postgresql" \
  --without-netcdf \
  --without-mysql \
  --without-odbc \
  --without-openmp \
  --without-ffmpeg


Now compile source code (takes some time as it generates binary code from the source code):

# note: the more CPUs you have, the higher the -j number may be set to
# here: build using 4 CPU cores
make -j4

Install resulting GRASS GIS 7 binaries into /usr/local/:

sudo make install

Start GRASS GIS in the terminal:

grass78

Done & enjoy!

Hints

  • Usually, the installation of compiled code is done by using the make tool. Alternatively, this can be done by using the checkinstall tool (i.e., sudo checkinstall instead of sudo make install) which eases off removal of packages. If checkinstall fails to deliver, please note some related bugs: 78455 and 599163. Useful information on using checkinstall: Compiling things on Ubuntu the Easy Way.
  • In multi-core processors, the compilation performance can be boosted by using -j switches (e.g. make -j2 or make -j3 or even make -j4) which specify the number of jobs (commands) to run simultaneously.

Dependencies

Current stable Ubuntu version

First, update the system from the repositories

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Then, install SQLite, SVN and dependencies for compiling PROJ, GEOS, GDAL/OGR, GRASS, GDAL-GRASS-PLUGIN (some additional packages may be required in this case); the following action will also install various dependencies (listed in the command line as The following extra packages will be installed:...):

  • See the additional packages bellow and in other sections and install them. Note that some of them are required, namely PROJ.4, GEOS and GDAL. If you don't have special requirements, it is usually enough just to install PROJ.4, GEOS and GDAL from repository (rather then compile them manually).
  • for mysql support, libmysqlclient-dev is required
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
  • for netcdf support, netcdf-bin and libnetcdf-dev is required
sudo apt-get install netcdf-bin libnetcdf-dev
sudo apt-get install libatlas-dev libblas-dev liblapack-dev
  • create a directory as a simple user where all source code is going to be stored -- in this example, a directory named src under /usr/local is created
    sudo mkdir /usr/local/src
    
  • take over directories ownerships (replace below the terms userid and groupid with a real userid):
    sudo chown userid:groupid /usr/local/src
    
  • similarly, grant rwx (read-write-execute) permissions for our userid and groupid onto the src directory:
    sudo chmod ug+rwx /usr/local/src
    

Earlier Ubuntu versions

For earlier Ubuntu versions, watch out for dependency differences! Modify the dependency list given above as instructed below.

  • for Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat (10.10) or later, change the following dependencies:
    • libpngwriter-dev --> libpngwriter0-dev
    • libcairo-dev --> libcairo2-dev
    • fftw3 --> libfftw3-3
    • fftw3-dev --> libfftw3-dev

Using pre-compiled dev Packages for PROJ.4, GEOS and GDAL

PROJ.4

Install the dev package:

sudo apt-get install libproj-dev proj-data proj-bin
  • In the call to ./configure for GRASS, replace --with-proj-share=/usr/local/share/proj/ by --with-proj-share=/usr/share/proj/

GEOS

Install the dev package:

# probably you also need to additionally install "libgeos-c1v5"
sudo apt-get install libgeos-dev
  • In the call to ./configure for GRASS, replace --with-geos=/usr/local/bin/geos-config by --with-geos=/usr/bin/geos-config

GDAL

Install the dev package (possibly without support for datumgrid):

sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev

For support of WMS in wxGUI install Python GDAL bindings and GDAL executables:

sudo apt-get install python-gdal gdal-bin
  • Install also the required extra packages (note the message: The following extra packages will be installed:)
  • Look out for packages to be removed by this operation -- this is most likely caused by incompatible package versions. Fix these problems in advance using commands like the following:
    sudo apt-get install <package>=<required.version>
    

GRASS-GIS

Jump to sub-section GRASS-GIS below

Using pre-compiled dev Packages for PROJ.4, GEOS and GDAL from GIS.lab PPA

Ivan Mincik has made all required packages available in his PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:imincik/gis
sudo apt-get install libproj-dev libgdal-dev python-gdal libgeos-dev

Now you can either also install GRASS GIS 7 from there or compile it yourself (see Jump to sub-section GRASS-GIS below)

Compile from source

PROJ4

  • within the directory /usr/local/src (create it if it does not exist) checkout proj from its Subversion repository:
    svn co http://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/proj/branches/4.8/proj/
    
    wget http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-datumgrid-1.5.zip
    mv proj-datumgrid-1.5.zip /usr/local/src/proj/nad
    cd /usr/local/src/proj/nad
    
  • decompress it
    unzip proj-datumgrid-1.5.zip
    
  • go back to the proj directory
    cd /usr/local/src/proj
    
  • if required, clean previous configuration & compilation
    make distclean
    
  • simple configure, compile and install
    ./configure  &&  make  &&  sudo make install
    
    or
    ./configure && make -j2  &&  sudo checkinstall
    
  • ensure that /usr/local/lib is added to /etc/ld.so.conf and afterwards run
    sudo ldconfig
    
  • finally, go back to the parent directory simply by instructing
    cd ..
    

GEOS

  • move to the "source-code" directory and decompress
    cd /usr/local/src/
    bunzip2 geos-3.4.2.tar.bz2
    tar xvf  geos-3.4.2.tar
    
  • if required, clean previous configuration & compilation
    make distclean
    
  • move to geos directory
    cd geos-3.4.2
    
  • simple configure, compile and install
    ./configure  &&  make  &&  sudo make install
    
    or
    ./configure  && make -j2  &&  sudo checkinstall
    
  • do not forget to execute
    sudo ldconfig
    

GDAL

Note, GDAL must be compiled without GRASS support

  • download the current stable version
    svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/branches/1.11/gdal gdal_stable
    
  • enter in the gdal_stable directory
    cd /usr/local/src/gdal_stable
    
  • optionally, update the source code
    svn up
    
  • if required, clean previous configurations/compilations
    make distclean
    
  • a simple configuration without any parameters will detect and support various installed libraries
    ./configure
    
  • skip to the compile and install step or check the following customised configuration example
    CFLAGS="-g -Wall" LDFLAGS="-s" ./configure \
    --with-png=internal \
    --with-libtiff=internal \
    --with-geotiff=internal \
    --with-jpeg=internal \
    --with-gif=internal \
    --with-ecw=no \
    --with-expat=yes \
    --with-sqlite3=yes \
    --with-geos=yes \
    --with-python \
    --with-libz=internal \
    --with-netcdf \
    --with-threads=yes \
    --without-grass  \
    --without-ogdi \
    --with-pg=/usr/bin/pg_config \
    --with-xerces=yes
    
  • compile, install & ldconfig
    make -j2  &&  sudo make install  &&  sudo ldconfig
    
    or
    make -j2  &&  sudo checkinstall  &&  sudo ldconfig
    

GRASS GIS

Note the differences between different GRASS version (SVN branches) in download and cofiguration. Note also the changes required if you installed some of the dependencies from packages (rather then compiled them yourself).

To fully understand the build process, read the INSTALL file, which is located in GRASS' source code root directory. For example, if you have problems related to 32bit versus 64bit, pay attention to section (C), entitled COMPILATION NOTES for 64bit platforms.

Getting GRASS' source code

Select from one of the GRASS GIS versions and download (using SVN) the source code:

  • VERY OLD STABLE VERSION: current state of the 6.4.x release branch version (stable)
    svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/branches/releasebranch_6_4 grass64_release
  • STABLE VERSION: current state of the 7.2.x release branch version (current stable)
    svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/branches/releasebranch_7_2 grass72_release
  • DEVELOPMENT VERSION: current state of the trunk (latest version of code where the development happens)
    svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/trunk grass7_trunk

Configure, Compile and Install

Enter the directory with the source code (downloaded by svn client), for example:

cd grass72_release
  • GRASS GIS 6 example configuration (which can/should be adjusted according to specific needs):
    CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall" LDFLAGS="-s" ./configure \
    --enable-largefile=yes \
    --with-nls \
    --with-cxx \
    --with-proj-share=/usr/local/share/proj/ \
    --with-geos=/usr/local/bin/geos-config \
    --with-readline \
    --with-python=yes \
    --with-wxwidgets \
    --with-cairo \
    --with-opengl-libs=/usr/include/GL \
    --with-motif \
    --with-tcltk-includes="/usr/include/tcl8.5" \
    --with-ffmpeg=yes --with-ffmpeg-includes="/usr/include/libavcodec /usr/include/libavformat /usr/include/libswscale /usr/include/libavutil" \
    --with-freetype=yes --with-freetype-includes="/usr/include/freetype2/" \
    --with-postgres=yes --with-postgres-includes="/usr/include/postgresql" \
    --with-sqlite=yes \
    --with-mysql=yes --with-mysql-includes="/usr/include/mysql" \
    --with-odbc=no
    Note, the above configuration uses the Proj4 and GEOS packages compiled from the source. In the case that pre-compiled versions from the repository are required, remove the above corresponding lines to use the "defaults", i.e.
    --with-proj-share=/usr/share/proj \
    --with-geos=/usr/bin/geos-config \
  • GRASS GIS 7 example configuration (which can/should be adjusted according to specific needs):
    CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall" LDFLAGS="-s" ./configure \
    --enable-largefile=yes \
    --with-nls \
    --with-cxx \
    --with-readline \
    --with-proj-share=/usr/local/share/proj/ \
    --with-geos=/usr/local/bin/geos-config \
    --with-wxwidgets \
    --with-cairo \
    --with-opengl-libs=/usr/include/GL \
    --with-freetype=yes --with-freetype-includes="/usr/include/freetype2/" \
    --with-postgres=yes --with-postgres-includes="/usr/include/postgresql" \
    --with-sqlite=yes \
    --with-mysql=yes --with-mysql-includes="/usr/include/mysql" \
    --with-odbc=no \
    --with-liblas=yes --with-liblas-config=/usr/bin/liblas-config
    Note, the above configuration uses the Proj4 and GEOS packages compiled from the source. In the case that pre-compiled versions from the repository are required, remove the above corresponding lines to use the "defaults", i.e. (note the backslashe at the end of each line)
    --with-proj-share=/usr/share/proj \
    --with-geos=/usr/bin/geos-config \

    Note 2, if compiling with liblas, you will want liblas compiled with laszip support. liblas will look for laszip includes in /usr/local/include/laszip by default. Creating the laszip directory in /usr/local/include and making a soft link. ln -s /usr/local/include/lasz*.hpp /usr/local/include/laszip and ln -s /usr/local/include/lasunz*.hpp /usr/local/include/laszip should allow liblas to compile with laszip support

  • compile & install
    make -j2  &&  sudo make install  &&  sudo ldconfig
    or
    make -j2  &&  sudo checkinstall  &&  sudo ldconfig

For subsequent updates execute (not need for the first time):

svn up
make -j2 && sudo make install  &&  sudo ldconfig

Sometimes, it is required to clean previous configuration and compilation:

make distclean
svn up
./configure ... # (use the configure command above)
make -j2 && sudo make install  &&  sudo ldconfig

GDAL-GRASS-Plugin

    wget http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdal-grass-2.4.3.tar.gz
    tar xvzf gdal-grass-2.4.3.tar.gz
    cd gdal-grass-2.4.3
  • create /etc/ld.so.conf.d/grass.conf or add in /etc/ld.so.conf the GRASS library path:
    # GRASS 7.8 library path (adapt as needed)
    /usr/local/src/releasebranch_7_8/lib
    
    # GRASS 7 (development version) library path (adapt as needed)
    /usr/local/src/grass_master/lib
  • optionally, clean previous configurations/compilations
     make distclean
  • configure -- point to GRASS installation/binaries
     ./configure \
     --prefix=/usr/local \
     --with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config \
     --with-grass=/usr/local/grass-7.8.git/ \
     --with-autoload="/usr/local/lib64/gdalplugins/" \
     --with-ld-shared="g++ -shared"
    • for GRASS 7.6, replace with --with-grass=/usr/local/grass-7.6.3/
    • for GRASS 7.x...
  • compile & install using checkinstall
     make -j2  &&  sudo checkinstall

Post compilation/installation control

  • in case of errors in future compilation attempts, remember to remove program binaries and files created with the "configuration" from previous compilations with
make distclean
  • another common mistake is compiling a module against some GRASS version and then try to run it through another GRASS version. The solution is to recompile the affected module or, in case there are multiple GRASS installations, set up properly LD_LIBRARY_PATH paths.


Removal of GRASS

To get rid of a GRASS binaries installation, delete (update version numbers accordingly)

  • /usr/local/grass-7.8.1.dev (directory, binaries location)
  • /usr/local/bin/grass78 (file)
  • /home/username/.grassrc7 (file)


If wanted, delete also the complete source code:

  • /usr/local/src/grass78_release (directory, source code location)


To remove grass (or any other package) which was installed by checkinstall, use dpkg, e.g.

sudo dpkg -r grass78 # package name defined at installation is important

Packaging of GRASS

Archived Notes

Notes that concern the configuration and compilation of GRASS GIS and its dependencies for older versions of Ubuntu-Linux.

Ubuntu 7.10 64-bit

  • Compiling latest GRASS source code on a 64-bit machine (with an ATI graphic card) under Ubuntu 7.10 64-bit with support for: 64-bit, SQLite, OpenGL, PYTHON, FFMPEG

(Based on "Ubuntu 6.06 LTS - GRASS 6.1 Compilation Script" by David Finlayson) Assuming it is the first time attempting to compile GRASS' source code & installing SVN, PROJ, GDAL/OGR

Preparation

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
  • install dependencies for compiling (in general) and dependencies for GRASS: PROJ, GDAL/OGR
sudo apt-get install grass build-essential flex bison libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev \
libgdal1-dev libtiff4-dev libgcc1 libpng12-dev tcl8.4-dev tk8.4-dev fftw3-dev \
libfreetype6-dev libavcodec-dev libxmu-dev gdal-bin libreadline5 libreadline5-dev \
make python-dev python-wxversion
  • install SQLite
sudo apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev
  • install SVN
sudo apt-get install subversion
  • create a directory as a simple user where source code(s) are going to be stored (in our example we use a directory called src under /usr/local)
sudo mkdir /usr/local/src
  • grant rwx (read-write-execute) permissions for our userid/ groupid on the directory (replace words userid and groupid with real userid):
sudo chown userid:groupid /usr/local/src
sudo chmod ug+rwx /usr/local/src
  • download latest source code from GRASS SVN repository in a directory on the system (e.g. /usr/local/src)
svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/trunk grass_trunk
  • Above command places GRASS' source code in /usr/local/src/grass_trunk. In case of a subsequent update use the command: svn up from within the grass_trunk directory

Before attempting to compile GRASS, READ section (C) in the INSTALL file located in the main directory of GRASS source code entitled: (C) COMPILATION NOTES for 64bit platforms


  • installing FFTW3 if not already on system
sudo apt-get install fftw3 fftw3-dev

FFMPEG

Note: Back in Ubuntu 7.10, installing ffmpeg through the repositories wouldn't work with grass. The following steps were successfully used.

svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
  • install dependencies
sudo apt-get install liblame-dev libfaad2-dev libfaac-dev libxvidcore4-dev \
     liba52-0.7.4 liba52-0.7.4-dev libx264-dev libdts-dev checkinstall \
     build-essential subversion
  • guide to ffmpeg directory
cd ffmpeg

if necessary: make distclean before configuration (look at notes below)

  • configuration (note: the configuration parameter "--enable-pp" does not work anymore)
# configure FFMPEG
./configure --enable-gpl --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora \
            --enable-liba52 --enable-libdc1394 --enable-libgsm \
            --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libfaad --enable-libfaac \
            --enable-libxvid --enable-libx264 \
            --enable-shared
  • compilation
make
  • installation on /usr/local/bin -- important to remember when configuring GRASS' source code for compilation
sudo checkinstall

Go for GRASS!

  • in our example we used the /usr/local/src directory to store GRASS' source code, so:
cd /usr/local/src/grass_trunk
  • configuration
 CFLAGS="-g -Wall" ./configure --enable-64bit \
       --with-libs=/usr/lib64 --with-cxx --with-freetype=yes \
       --with-postgres=no --with-sqlite=yes --enable-largefile=yes \
       --with-tcltk-includes=/usr/include/tcl8.4 \
       --with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2 \
       --with-opengl-libs=/usr/include/GL --with-readline \
       --with-python=yes --with-ffmpeg=yes \
       --with-ffmpeg-includes=/usr/local/include/ffmpeg
  • if OpenGL fails then maybe it is necessary to link glxATI.h with glx.h and re-run the configuration
cd /usr/include/GL
sudo ln glxATI.h glx.h
  • compilation
make
  • compilation is expected to end with a statement similar to the following:
Started compilation: Wed Feb 27 00:24:36 CET 2008
--
Errors in:
No errors detected.
  • installation
sudo checkinstall
  • launch 64-bit GRASS.6.4.svn
grass64

Notes

  • in case of errors in future compilation attempts, remember to remove program binaries with
make clean
  • and the files created with the "configuration" from previous compilations with
make distclean

Ubuntu 6.06, 7.10

  • makegrass.sh is script designed to automate most of the download, configuration and compilation of GRASS 6.x-CVS
    • it is advised use checkinstall (sudo apt-get install checkinstall) instead of make install to keep track of installed software
    • Think twice before using this script. Some users experienced problems such as disabled XGL etc.
  • Here is another of these scripts, it's homemade so probably you'll find the above more useful for production sites.
