#2236: REQUIREMENTS file not clear about compilation and priority -----------------------------------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: wenzeslaus | Owner: grass-dev@… Type: task | Status: new Priority: trivial | Milestone: 7.0.0 Component: Docs | Version: svn-trunk Keywords: compilation, requirements, dependencies | Platform: Unspecified Cpu: Unspecified | -----------------------------------------------------+---------------------- Th file source:grass/trunk/REQUIREMENTS.html list ''General requirements'' and ''Optional requirements'' however, this is not as useful as it could be.
For example, Python is in ''Optional requirements'' but you cannot build GRASS documentation and probably other things without it. Moreover, without Python you cannot use any module from scripts and temporal (which is not noted anywhere). And in the same ''Optional requirements'' category there is R language and MySQL libraries which are really optional and not critical at all. By the way, ''R'' is referred as just ''R'' at their website (http://www.r-project.org/) and other places. Description of a package in Ubuntu says ''GNU R'' and ''R''. The project for development of this software is sometimes referred as ''R project'' (note the lower p), most notably the URL of the web site. However, since ''R'' is too short, sometimes, ''R * environment'', ''R * system'' or, previously mentioned, ''GNU R'' are used. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/2236> GRASS GIS <http://grass.osgeo.org> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
