[GRASS-user] grass program compilation

[Blumentrath, Stefan]

Hei Alassane,

As a general strategy, when I get this kind of compilation errors I use the locate command in order to find the file ./configure is searching for in this case:
locate ft2build.h
It will print the folder where this file can be found on your system (if the relevant module/package is installed), so you can point ./configure to that, like Eric showed. If locate does not find the required file either, you are missing the module/package and have to install it in order to meet the dependencies.

Cheers
Stefan

Correct!  Configure did fail ....unable to locate FreeType includes.

checking for location of FreeType includes...
checking for ft2build.h... no
configure: error: *** Unable to locate FreeType includes.
Any suggestions from this point?  Thanks!
Alassane

What was the output of configure? Perhaps it fails. Make cannot find a makefile which should be generated by configure.
Note that for running make, you need to be in the directory with the source code (as needed for configure).
