= GRASS = The GRASS support can be added to GDAL in two ways: * as a built-in GRASS driver * as a loadable GRASS driver plugin '''Note, following instructions apply to Linux and other environments where GNU autotools are available (autoconf, automake, make).''' == Building GDAL with built-in GRASS driver == * 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 Linux distribution. * Download latest [wiki:DownloadSource#PackagedSource stable] or [wiki:DownloadSource#Subversion development] version of GDAL sources: {{{ tar -zxf gdal-1.4.1.tar.gz cd gdal-1.4.1 }}} * Configure GDAL sources with GRASS support included: {{{ ./configure --with-grass=/usr/lib/grass }}} and after ./configure finishes its job, you should see the GRASS driver enabled in the summary, like here: {{{ GDAL is now configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu Installation directory: /usr/local C compiler: gcc -O2 C++ compiler: g++ -O2 LIBTOOL support: yes LIBZ support: external GRASS support: grass57+ ... }}} == Building GDAL and GRASS driver plugin == ''TBD''
