[gdal-dev] GDAL 2.0.2 doesn't compile with Kakadu 7.7.1

Yes, the kakadu support would probably need to be revisited and linking to a 
single file would be better (although that its changing name, see the v77, is 
kind of annoying...)

Anyway since GDAL 2.0, you need to pass explicitly the Kakadu version by 
defining CXXFLAGS like CXXFLAGS="-DKDU_MAJOR_VERSION=7 -DKDU_MINOR_VERSION=7" 
./configure [other_options]

But Kakadu v7.7 support is in trunk only : you likely need to apply

Perhaps the GDAL Python bindings you use don't link to the GDAL library you 
built manually ? You may have to play with LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to your 
GDAL libs.
