[gdal-dev] DWG support in GDAL: some questions

[Andrés Maneiro]

Hi devs,

I have a bunch of DWG archives wich I need to publish with geoserver. I'm 
considering to transform them to SHP and then upload them to geoserver.

In order to get support for DWG, should I installed 1.9 version or compiled DWG 
support for 1.8 version? If I go for the 1.9 version, has it built-in support 
for DWG or should I have to compile it?

For what is worth, I work in Ubuntu 10.10 with GDAL 1.8.

best,
Andrés
