REQUIREMENTS to compile GRASS GIS

A workstation running some flavor of UNIX like Solaris, IRIX, Linux, BSD, Mac OS X or cygwin (on Win32). Ideally, you should have at least 500 Mb for data and 32 Mb RAM. The source code package needs around 100 MB uncompressed. The resulting binaries may need between 80 MB and 180 MB depending on your platform. During a full compilation you need temporarily 550MB including the source code.

To disable features please read the INSTALL file.
 

General requirements:

(most tools are standard tools on Linux, for other platforms you may have to install some of them.)
  • winGRASS: As alternative a generic MS-Windows driver is under construction which does not require X11
  • Optional requirements:
