#2236: REQUIREMENTS file not clear about compilation and priority
-----------------------------------------------------+----------------------
Reporter: wenzeslaus | Owner:

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.
