grass libraries

[T.W.CHARNOCK]

Up to now I have used Grass installed from binaries rather than 
compiled from source.  I now want to develop our own applications.

The binaries didn't include the libraries gis, rowio etc,  how should we 
go about compiling these without having to compile the whole of 
grass from source.

I am very new to compiling and make and gmake so simple 
instruction would be most appreciated


cheers
