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

A workstation running some flavor of UNIX including GNU/Linux, Solaris, IRIX, BSD,
Mac OSX, Cygwin or MinGW (on Win32/Win64). Ideally, you should have at least 800 MB of
free disk space. The source code package needs disk space of around 26 MB compressed
and 440MB uncompressed. The resulting binaries may need between 20 MB and 180 MB
depending on your platform and compiler flags. During a full compilation you may need
temporarily up to 550MB including the source code.
<p>
To enable and disable features please read the <a href="INSTALL">INSTALL</a> file.
