Hi I would, for implementation in spgrass7 in R, to be able to get the version number of GRASS GIS before starting GRASS. I know that in the file
,---- | GRASS_BASE_DIRECTORY/etc/VERSIONNUMBER `---- the version number is stored, but I have two questions: 1) is this the same between systems (I saw it in Mac Linux and Windows)? 2) I assume the location of this file is very un-likely to change? 3) can the internal structure of the GDRASS_BASE_DIRECTORY be configured during the build process (particularly the bin/ and the location of VERSIONNUMBER), and if yes, how can I obtain the location of these folders? So: would there be any downside in just reading this file to determine the version of GRASS GIS, as the grass startup script seems to be reading from that file as well? Thanks, Rainer -- Rainer M.
