#3120: Suggested change to default settings and missing requirements
-------------------------+---------------------------------
 Reporter:  ewcgrass     |      Owner:  grass-dev@…
     Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal       |  Milestone:  7.2.0
Component:  Compiling    |    Version:  svn-releasebranch72
 Keywords:               |        CPU:  x86-64
 Platform:  All          |
-------------------------+---------------------------------
 Default settings:
 Compiling Grass72 svn resulted in non-working r.in.lidar, v.in.lidar,
 v.out.postgis and v.buffer due to default settings that exclude geos,
 liblas and postgres support. In light that these are available in generic
 binaries, perhaps those default settings should be changed from "no" to
 "yes" in the source files?

 Missing items in requirements list:
 Compilation was also made needlessly difficult due to missing laszip and
 libgeotiff requirements (their -devel equivalents). Also, it was necessary
 to make links to original files to create required
 libboost_program_option.so and libboost_thread.so, which may be present on
 some Linux systems, but not in older Fedora distros. Perhaps the former
 could be added to the requirements list, and changes (or advise to users)
 made to accommodate latter?

 Otherwise, great job GRASS developers!
