Compile and install GRASS and QGIS with GDAL/OGR Plugin/id

This page is in progress of translating to Bahasa Indonesia.

Secara umum, coba cari terlebih dahulu paket biner generik (precompiled) (misalnya, RPM untuk hampir kebanyakan jenis Linux, .deb untuk Debian dan paket Install untuk MS-Windows dsb.). Silakan periksa halaman unduh situs GRASS untuk penyedia software.

Kompilasi

Urutan kompilasi haruslah diperhatikan baik-baik karena adanya saling-ketergantungan antar paket. Perhatikan baik-baik urutan yang diperlihatkan seperti berikut. Kompilasi GRASS diterangkan dalam Compile and Install/id.

Instalasi

The install order should be kept due to inter-dependencies between the packages. Please keep the order or install all in a single step:

1. PROJ4 with Datum grids (expand in nad/ before compiling)
2. Optional: GEOS
3. Optional: PostgreSQL, mySQL, unixODBC, SQLite (SQLite is needed for QGIS)
4. GDAL/OGR without GRASS support
5. GRASS 6
6. GDAL/OGR-GRASS plugin - file: gdal-grass-1.4.3.tar.gz (or later)
   1. Use the latest plugin source code version available. The code is fairly stable so the version doesn't need to match the latest GDAL version to keep working. Generally if an update is needed it will be issued, otherwise the existing (well tested) version will be left in place.
   2. NOTE: the plugin needs to "see" the GRASS libraries. The best way is to add a file 'grass6.conf' into the directory /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ (edit as root) which contains the path to the GRASS libraries; then run 'ldconfig'. A script to configure/install easily can be found here.
7. QGIS with GRASS support

Usage of the plugin

• GDAL: gdalinfo grassdata/spearfish60/PERMANENT/cellhd/aspect
• OGR: ogrinfo -ro -so grassdata/spearfish60/PERMANENT/vector/roads/head
• GRASS: only needs it for r.out.gdal
• Mapserver: should see both raster and vector maps, define connection properly in the .map file
• QGIS: needs it only for raster data

Troubleshooting

All stuff installed but QGIS doesn't see GRASS or r.out.gdal doesn't work?

• Check if GDAL finds the plugin:

        gdal_translate --formats | grep -i grass
        GRASS (ro): GRASS Database Rasters (5.7+)

• Check if the GRASS libs are found by the plugin. All libraries should be found (maybe you forgot to run 'ldconfig' if you didn't install from RPMs?):

        ldd /usr/lib/gdalplugins/gdal_GRASS.so
        ldd /usr/lib/gdalplugins/ogr_GRASS.so

• Check if the GRASS plugins are in the right directory (check the 'Auto register' directory reported in the output):

        # remember that you have to specify the absolute path:
        export CPL_DEBUG=on
        gdalinfo /home/neteler/grassdata/spearfish60/PERMANENT/cellhd/roads
        ogrinfo -summary $HOME/grassdata/spearfish60/PERMANENT/vector/roads/head
