[gdal-dev] Makefile problem in GDAL?

[Dr Rainer Woitok]

Greetings,

having checked out the bookmark "remote/tags/2.1.3" (2017-01-20 08:19:14
+0000 even.rouault at mines-paris.org), I configured GDAL and the ran "make
install" just to produce the following error:

   libtool: compile:  g++ -I/home/Rainer/repo/gdal/gdal/port -I/home/Rainer/repo/gdal/gdal/gcore -I/home/Rainer/repo/gdal/gdal/alg -I/home/Rainer/repo/gdal/gdal/ogr -I/home/Rainer/repo/gdal/gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts -I/home/Rainer/repo/gdal/gdal/gnm -I/home/Rainer/repo/gdal/gdal/apps -g -O2 -Wall -Wextra -Winit-self -Wunused-parameter -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wno-format-nonliteral -Wlogical-op -Wshadow -Werror=vla -Wmissing-declarations -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Woverloaded-virtual -fno-operator-names -DJPEG_DUAL_MODE_8_12 -Ilibjpeg -DDEFAULT_MAX_MEM=500000000L -DGNM_ENABLED -DOGR_ENABLED -I/home/Rainer/repo/gdal/gdal/port -I/home/Rainer/include -DGDAL_COMPILATION -I../mem -DENABLE_LIBJPEG_NO_RETURN -c jpgdataset.cpp  -DDLL_EXPORT -DPIC -o ../o/.libs/jpgdataset.o
   In file included from jpgdataset.cpp:40:0:
   /home/Rainer/include/memdataset.h:78:42: error: expected ';' at end of member declaration
        virtual const char *GetProjectionRef() CPL_OVERRIDE;
                                             ^

The already existing  header file "/home/Rainer/include/memdataset.h" is
a relict from former GDAL compilations  with other versions  checked out
and obviously didn't fit GDAL version 2.1.3.  But the real problem seems
to be that this file was  read at all.   The correct  header file was in
directory "../mem/",  but directive "-I../mem" was overridden by preced-
ing directive "-I/home/Rainer/include"  (derived from configuration opt-
ion "--includedir=...").   Shouldn't therefore this option together with
the directory derived from option "--oldincludedir=..."  be always spec-
ified as the very last "-I" options?

To work around the problem  I simply removed  any GDAL header files from
directory "/home/Rainer/include/" and successfully compiled GDAL.

Sincerely,
  Rainer
