[GRASS-user] create location from CLI

[Dave Roberts]

Dear All,

    I'm trying to understand the simplest way in GRASS7 to create a 
location from the command line without using a georeferenced file.  So 
far, it appears to be

% grass70 -c newLocation

at the OS prompt, followed by

GRASS GIS 7.0.4 > g.proc -c wkt=some WKT text file

inside of the new GRASS location (which temporarily has a generic XY 
non-projection).   Two things:

1) I can't seem to coerce grass70 or g.proj to do this in a single step 
from the OS command line (probably missing environment variables when 
trying to go straight to g.proj from OS CLI).

2) I would prefer to use g.proj -c proj4=some PROJ4 string or file but I 
can't seem to get g.proj to parse any proj4 strings either from stdin or 
a file, even substituting the output from a g.proj -j command from a 
working location.

GRASS 7.0.4

grass70 --config
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
./configure  --prefix=/opt/grass 
--with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2 --with-wxwidgets 
--with-readline --with-pthread --with-netcdf --with-nls --with-geos 
--with-postgres
