[GRASS-dev] Installing own Python script

[Pierre Roudier]

Hi,

I'm beginning to script GRASS using Python. Turns out it is very easy
and convivial, and in a very limited amount of time I was able to put
together a little extension to bring the main mathematical morphology
operators to GRASS.

The problem I got, however, is how to install that script into
path/to/grass_src/scripts. In that director, I created a folder named
after my extension (r.mm). It contains:
- my script, r.mm.py
- its doc, r.mm.html, generated by the command python r.mm.py
--html-description, and then completed by hand
- A Makefile

The Makefile is a simple file containing the following lines:

MODULE_TOPDIR = ../..

PGM = r.mm

include $(MODULE_TOPDIR)/include/Make/Script.make

default: script

I've been able to compile the thing once, using make. But I can't run
the make install:

The wiki page [0] is great, but unfortunately does not provides much
information on that specific point (yet). I'd be more than happy to
contribute it.. as soon as I'll get my head around it!

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers,

Pierre
