<h2>REQUIREMENTS to compile GRASS GIS 6</h2>
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 uncompressed. 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.
<p>
To disable features please read the <a href="INSTALL">INSTALL</a> file.
<h3>General requirements:</h3>
(most tools are standard tools on GNU/Linux, for other platforms you may have
to install some of them.)
<ul>
<li><b>C-compiler</b> (cc, gcc, egcs, ...)
<br>gcc: <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html">http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html</a>
<br>
<li><b>GNU make</b> is recommended (at least version 3.81)
<br><a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/make/make.html">http://www.gnu.org/software/make/make.html</a>
<br>
<li><b>zlib</b> compression library (already installed on most modern systems)
<br>It is used to internally compress GRASS raster maps:
<br>libz: <a href="http://www.zlib.net">http://www.zlib.net</a>
<br>
<li><b>flex</b> lexical analyzer generator (flex) - note: lex is no longer supported, please use flex instead:
<br>flex: <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/flex/flex.html">http://www.gnu.org/software/flex/flex.html</a>
<br>
<li><b>parser generator</b> (yacc, bison)
<br>bison: <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/bison.html">http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/bison.html</a>
<br>
<li><b>libncurses4.x/5.x</b> (already installed on modern systems)
<br><a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/ncurses.html">http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/ncurses.html</a>
<br><a href="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/">ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses</a>
<br>
<li><b>X Window</b> system for graphical output, development libraries (X development
libraries, in some linux distributions they are separate packages, e.g. xlibs-dev or x11-server-devel)
<br><a href="http://www.xfree.org">http://www.xfree.org</a>
<br><a href="http://www.x.org">http://www.x.org</a>
<br>winGRASS note: As alternative a generic MS-Windows driver is under
construction which does not require X11
<br>
<li><b>PROJ4</b> - Projection Library<br>
<a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/proj">http://trac.osgeo.org/proj</a>
<br>
<li><b>GDAL and OGR</b> for import and export of most external raster and vector
map formats<br>
<a href="http://gdal.osgeo.org">http://gdal.osgeo.org</a>
<li><b>XDR</b> for raster I/O management (commonly provided on *NIX systems)<br>

</ul>
<h3>
Optional requirements:</h3>
<ul>
<li><b>Tcl/Tk 8.x libraries</b> (including the 'wish' program) to use the GRASS GUI
menu system and the NVIZ visualization suite<br>
Some features of the new <em>gis.m</em> GIS manager may depend on version 8.4 or newer.
<br>
<!--
On some platforms (e.g. Debian) GRASS 6.0.2 and earlier needed to be compiled
against the Tcl/Tk 8.3 development packages in order to get NVIZ working correctly.
This has been fixed in newer versions of GRASS.<br>
-->
see <a href="http://tcl.sourceforge.net">http://tcl.sourceforge.net</a>
<li>If hardware openGL support is missing in the X Server, <b>Mesa-3.x</b>
(openGL clone) may be required for NVIZ<br>
<a href="http://mesa3d.sourceforge.net">http://mesa3d.sourceforge.net</a>
<li><b>C++ Compiler</b> (required for the r.terraflow module)<br>
gcc: <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html">http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html</a>

for i.fft and i.ifft and other modules<br>

use it at time!</I>
