Building on Unix with Autotools

The following instructions are dedicated to users of Unix-like systems (Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, *BSD, etc.)

Download the latest source code release and issue following commands:

./configure
make
make install

Note, if you are building GEOS downloaded from SVN, you need to have ​Autotools available in your system, so you can first generate ./configure script using the following command:

./autogen.sh

Then, you will be able to execute ./configure and next the three commands listed above: make and make install.

For more details about configuration options run:

./configure --help
