Example Linux versions of some critical GRASS files
This appendix is the home of Linux-specific examples of selected GRASS configuration files. Currently, only several examples of a single file are offered. However, this is the most important file for configuration! Later, examples of database configuration files (e.g. DEFAULT_WIND) and other files may appear.
In the Installation Guide (pp. 10-11) you will see mention of the [header] file in directory $GIS/src/CMD/header (where $GIS is the directory in which you place GRASS – some folks put this in /usr/local – I put everything in a GRASS’ own filesystem/directory /user/grass4.1). The installation guide favors Sun systems, as these were the development environment for GRASS4. (In case you cared, Masscomp workstations were earlier development environments.) Below are examples of this
file for linux (which you might want to name linux in your $GIS/src/CMD/header directory. You may want to refer to this section when running the setup ($GIS/src/CMD/utils/setup) command.
One version:
CC = gcc ARCH = GISBASE = /user/grass4.1 UNIX_BIN = /user/grass4.1/bin DEFAULT_DATABASE = /user/grass4.1/data DEFAULT_LOCATION = china COMPILE_FLAGS = -O2 LDFLAGS = -s XCFLAGS = -D_NO_PROTO -DXM_1_1_BC XLDFLAGS = XINCPATH = XMINCPATH = XLIBPATH = XTLIBPATH = -L/usr/lib XMLIBPATH = -L/usr/lib XLIB = -lX11 XTLIB = -lXt XMLIB = -lXm XEXTRALIBS = TERMLIB = CURSES = -lcurses $(TERMLIB) MATHLIB = -lm # LIBRULE = ar ruv $@ $? # LIBRULE = ar ruv $@ $?; ranlib $@ # LIBRULE = ar ruv $@ $?; ar ts $@ # LIBRULE = ar rc $@ `lorder $(OBJ) | tsort` LIBRULE = ar ruv $@ $?

Another version:

Another version:

Yet another version:

USE_TERMIO = -DUSE_TERMIO USE_MTIO = -DUSE_MTIO USE_FTIME = -DUSE_FTIME DIGITFLAGS = -DUSE_SETREUID -DUSE_SETPRIORITY VECTLIBFLAGS = -DPORTABLE_3 GETHOSTNAME = -DGETHOSTNAME_OK
Intimidating? It probably shouldn’t be if you’ve configured X Windows on your Linux box. These examples should give you patterns to look for when running the setup utility in GRASS (described in the Installation Guide).
