Compiling under Funtoo-Linux

The ​Generic Compilation & installation procedure is valid also for the ​Funtoo-Linux meta-distribution. The following example scripts are provided as a mean to get started.

Installing dependencies

First, emerge the general requirements (or ensure they are already installed)

emerge -av gcc make zlib flex bison python

It may be that a utility is missing for your configuration. In case the missing utility is part of a package with another name, the e-file tool comes in handy to identify the uninstalled package. For example, to search for the package that provides the wx-config utility (in which case it is wxwidgets), it can be searched via

e-file wx-config

Then, emerge ​optional packages (you likely want to have these!)

USE="wxwidgets" emerge -av bzip2 fftw lapack libpng libgeotiff readline sqlite freetype ctypesgen wxpython numpy python-dateutil ply pillow matplotlib six cairo

There is more that can be installed, like databases and support for additional raster drivers/formats. Anyhow, before compiling GRASS GIS, make sure that Python version 3 is set to be the one "visible" to the system.

eselect python list  # list available versions
eselect python set 1 # probably #1 is python 2.7

To compile GRASS GIS, at least two extra libraries are required: ​PROJ and ​GDAL/OGR. Please consult their documentation on how to compile the latest stable resleases from source. The versions that are available through Portage, are usually not up-to-date!

Configuration

# clean previous configuration
make distclean

# update source code
svn up

# renice! source: <http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-user/2013-May/068229.html>
renice +17 -p $$

# configure
./configure \
--with-freetype=yes \
--with-freetype-includes="/usr/include/freetype2/" \
2>&1 | tee config_log.txt

Compilation

# compile
time make -j4

# optionally, check the compilation
# time make check

More elaborated example

# clean
time make distclean

# update
time git pull
