[GRASS-user] How to compile addons on a Cygwin system?

[Roland Pape]

Hallo everybody,

yet another newbie question: I would like to compile several addons 
(gipe, hydrofoss, r.sun_horizon) for my GRASS 6.2.2 that runs on a 
Windows machine under Cygwin.

As I have installed GRASS from within the Cygwin setup, it seems to me 
that I have no GRASS source code: The "make" command failed because of 
"Makefile:9: ../../include/Make/Module.make: No such file or directory". 
- That's right, there is no such directory on my machine. That's why 
Markus' tip from below does not work. Do I have to download and compile 
the source code of GRASS (there I found such a folder) before compiling 
any addons?

Recently, I have installed GEM in order to facilitate the usage of 
addons without having the source code of GRASS. But there, I got lost 
with the gipe-addon while "All you need to do is copy your source files, 
scripts etc. into the appropriate places in the src directory". Where 
are these appropriate places? It seems logic to place e.g. any i.xyz in 
the imagery folder, but the rest?

I appreciate any hints!

Thanks in advance,

Roland
