[GRASS-dev] How to specify custom include directories

[Helena Mitasova]

David,

this is the configure I use to compile GRASS with everything (gdal,  
proj and grass, all CVS versions)
in my home directory:

CFLAGS="-g -Wall" ./configure \
--prefix=/local/home/helena/grassdev \
--with-cxx \
--enable-64bit --with-libs=/usr/lib64 --enable-largefile --enable- 
shared \
--with-bindir=/local/home/helena/grassdev \
--with-gdal=/local/home/helena/gsgdal/bin/gdal-config \
--with-gdal-includes=/local/home/helena/gsgdal/include \
--with-gdal-libs=/local/home/helena/gsgdal/lib \
--with-proj=yes \
--with-proj-includes=/local/home/helena/gproj/include \
--with-proj-libs=/local/home/helena/gproj/lib \
--with-proj-share=/local/home/helena/gproj/share/proj \
--with-motif \
--with-python

I also had to add the path here (advice from Markus):

system-wide add it to (if you can use sudo )
   /etc/ld.so.conf
Then run
ldconfig

solution just for your login:
modify $HOME/.bashrc or $HOME/.cshrc depending on your shell
and define it there. The GRASS path is added automatically,
so just add /home/helena/gdal/lib there (or in /etc/ld.so.conf).

I have been compiling and running the GRASS CVS version from home
directory for years so hopefully it will work for you too,
