This looks familiar from when I first noticed the makefile bits
getting installed. I work around most of it in my OSX modbuild setup
by modifying grass.make and platform.make.
It would be nice to get it cleaned up and working - no need for my
OSX hack.
A big problem I see is that INST_NOW. That's just what I need to
avoid for the OSX app build - installing (or building) into the
binary distribution. I avoid that in my modbuild by having a local/
external copy of the makefile bits in a folder layout like the
source, so modules get built into the local distdir.

At present, using it is probably a bit more complex than it needs to
be. The *.make files still contain some references to the source
directory, which need to be overridden. Specifically, Platform.make
has:
GRASS_HOME = /usr/local/src/grass/cvs
RUN_GISBASE = /usr/local/src/grass/cvs/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu
RUN_GISBASE is used for the dummy session for running GRASS commands
during the build process, for generating the HTML files (Html.make)
and getting strings to translate from scripts (Script.make). In both
cases, it's used like:
GISRC=$(RUN_GISBASE)/demolocation/.grassrc${GRASS_VERSION_MAJOR}$
{GRASS_VERSION_MINOR} \
GISBASE=$(RUN_GISBASE) \
Note that the demolocation directory *isn't* installed.
GRASS_HOME is used in a number of places; Grass.make has:
ARCH_DISTDIR = $(GRASS_HOME)/dist.$(ARCH)
ARCH_BINDIR = $(GRASS_HOME)/bin.$(ARCH)
GRASS_INCDIR = $(GRASS_HOME)/include
GRASS_LIBDIR = $(GRASS_HOME)/lib
...
ifdef INST_NOW
ARCH_DISTDIR = $(INST_DIR)
ARCH_BINDIR = $(UNIX_BIN)
endif
While Dir.make has:
$(MAKE) -C $$subdir || echo $(CURDIR)/$$subdir >> $(GRASS_HOME)/
error.log; \
and Script.make has:
$(BIN)/$(PGM).bat: $(GRASS_HOME)/scripts/windows_launch.bat
sed -e "s#SCRIPT_NAME#$(PGM)#" $(GRASS_HOME)/scripts/
windows_launch.bat > $@
If you forget about Script.make and Html.make for now, you will
probably need to use something like:
make ... GRASS_HOME=. INST_NOW=y MODULE_TOPDIR=/usr/local/
grass-6.3.cvs
The other variables are less important.
ARCH_BINDIR is only used for the grass63[.bat] script.
GRASS_INCDIR is erroneously used for dependencies in a small number of
Makefiles (the actual -I switches refer to ARCH_INCDIR, which is
dist.<arch>/include).
GRASS_LIBDIR is only used to find a couple of DBMI headers using:
-I$(GRASS_LIBDIR)/db/dbmi_driver
As for fixes:
GRASS_INCDIR and GRASS_LIBDIR can probably be eliminated relatively
easily.
RUN_GISBASE should be split into RUN_GISBASE and RUN_GISRC.
The demolocation directory should be installed, along with a grassrc
file which refers to it.
There should be a specific ERRORLOG variable for error.log.
INST_NOW=y should set RUN_GISBASE and RUN_GISRC to point to the
installed versions, and ERRORLOG to "./error.log".
