[GRASS-user] Re: [GRASS-dev] Compiling r.example in LINUX

[António Rocha]

Hi All
Ok I've changed my ARCH_DISTDIR, ARCH_BINDIR (GRASS.MAKE), GRASS_HOME 
and RUN_GISBASE (PLATFORM.MAKE) in order to point to my grass-6.4.0svn 
installation instead of my Snapshot folder.

Is it helpful to create a Wiki regarding this matters? (two other 
persons sent me PMs regarding this questions with the same questions).

Thank you Glynn for your help.

Best regards,
Antonio
