[DebianGIS] Makefile:22: include/Make/Platform.make: No such file or directory

[David <dpleydel@univ-fcomte.fr>]

Thanks Hamish for your replies to my previous thread i.vpoints on the Debian-GIS list. I have been trying the CVS install as you described and hit errors in the make process, I get similar errors using both 6.0-CVS and 6.1-CVS snapshots from http://grass.itc.it/faq/cvs_howto.html

cd /usr/local/src/grass61
tar xzf grass-6.1.cvs_src_snapshot_2006_06_18.tar.gz
export CVSROOT=:pserver:grass-guest@intevation.de:/home/grass/grassrepository
cvs login
cvs up -dP
cd grass-6.1.cvs_src_snapshot_2006_06_18

Makefile:22: include/Make/Platform.make: No such file or directory
Makefile:23: include/Make/Grass.make: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `include/Make/Grass.make'.  Stop.

if I use the locate command...

updatedb
locate Grass.make 
/usr/local/src/grass60/grass-6.0.cvs_src_snapshot_2006_06_17/include/Make/Grass.make.in
/usr/local/src/grass61/grass-6.1.cvs_src_snapshot_2006_06_18/include/Make/Grass.make.in

so while a Grass.make.in exists the required Grass.make appears to be missing and the same applies regarding Platform.make

I'm not sure how to proceed with configuration from here.

Many thanks in advance for any hints
Dave
