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).
Prerequisites
- Download and install GRASS together with development files (headers and libraries). The easiest option is to use binary packages prepared for your Linux distribution.
- Download latest stable or development version of GDAL sources:
tar -zxf gdal-1.4.1.tar.gz cd gdal-1.4.1
Building GDAL with built-in GRASS driver
- 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 ... GRASS support: grass57+ ...
- Build and install GDAL:
make make install
running last step with root privileges.
- Now, you can verify if GRASS support is enabled correctly:
./gdalinfo --formats | grep GRASS GRASS (ro): GRASS Database Rasters (5.7+) ./ogrinfo --formats | grep GRASS -> "GRASS" (readonly)
Building GDAL and GRASS driver plugin
- Configure GDAL sources without GRASS support:
./configure --without-grass
