You should probably do it with trunk, but 7.4 is also ok as the two are 
not far from each other.

Yes, r.pi installation is still an issue. Currently it does not seem 
configured in a way to be usable by g.extension.

Assuming you are on a *nix like system, the easiest is to download the 
entire r.pi directory from SVN 
(https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass-addons/grass7/raster/r.pi?rev=72241&format=zip), 
unzip it somewhere on your system, cd to the r.pi directory and then 
compile it with

make MODULE_TOPDIR=~/SRC/GRASS/grass_trunk/

where you replace ~/SRC/GRASS/grass_trunk

with the path to your GRASS source code (again 7.4 is ok, and 7.2 
probably also).
