Concerning the specific project, please see some information in the 
thread at [1].

More generally, make sure to have gone through the more general material 
at [2].

At this stage you should spend time to get familiar with GRASS GIS. 
Install everything you need for compilation, check out the code, compile 
and read through some of the docs.
