<h2>REQUIREMENTS to compile GRASS GIS 7</h2>

A workstation running some flavor of UNIX like Solaris, IRIX,
GNU/Linux, BSD, Mac OS X, Cygwin or MinGW (on Win32). Ideally, you
should have at least 500 Mb. The source code package needs around 80
MB compressed. The resulting binaries may need between 20 MB and 180
MB depending on your platform. During a full compilation you may need
temporarily up to 550MB including the source code.
<p>
To disable features please read the <a href="INSTALL">INSTALL</a> file.
