    11= GRASS =
    2 
    3 The GRASS support can be added to GDAL in two ways:
    4  * as a built-in GRASS driver
    5  * as a loadable GRASS driver plugin
    62
    73'''Note, following instructions apply to Linux and other environments where GNU autotools are available (autoconf, automake, make).'''
    84
     5The right order of steps to perform is, briefly:
     6 * build GDAL '''without''' GRASS support
     7 * build GRASS
     8 * add your GRASS library path to ld.so.conf and run ldconfig
     9 * build GDAL '''with''' GRASS support

    911== Prerequisites ==

    11  * Download and install [http://grass.itc.it/ GRASS] together with development files (headers and libraries). The easiest option is to use binary packages prepared for your operating system.
     13 * Download and install [http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/DownloadSource GRASS source]. The easiest option is to use binary packages prepared for your operating system.
    1214
    1315 * Download latest [wiki:DownloadSource#PackagedSource stable] or [wiki:DownloadSource#Subversion development] version of GDAL sources:
    1416
    1517{{{
    16 tar -zxf gdal-1.4.1.tar.gz
    17 cd gdal-1.4.1
     18tar -zxf gdal-1.5.0.tar.gz
     19cd gdal-1.5.0

    2325 * Configure GDAL sources '''without''' GRASS support:
    … …  
    4042{{{
    4143make
    42 make install
    4344}}}
    4445
    45  running last step with root privileges.

    47 == Variant 2) Building GDAL with built-in GRASS driver ==
    48 
    49 ''Note that this method is not recommended due to circular dependencies.''
    50 
    51  * Configure GDAL sources '''with''' GRASS support included:
     46 The install step needs root privileges:
    5247
    5348{{{
    54 ./configure --with-grass=/usr/local/grass6
     49sudo make install
    5550}}}
    5651
    57  and after ./configure finishes its job, you should see the GRASS driver enabled in the summary, like here:
    58 
    59 {{{
    60 GDAL is now configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu
    61 ...
    62   GRASS support:             grass57+
    63 ...
    64 }}}
    65 
    66  * Build and install GDAL:
    67 
    68 {{{
    69 make
    70 make install
    71 }}}
    72 
    73  running last step with root privileges.
    74 
    75  * Now, you can verify if GRASS support is enabled correctly:
    76 
    77 {{{
    78 ./gdalinfo --formats | grep GRASS
    79   GRASS (ro): GRASS Database Rasters (5.7+)
    80 
    81 ./ogrinfo --formats | grep GRASS
    82   -> "GRASS" (readonly)
    83 }}}
