At last this sounds like an elegant solution! As I see it the finder
function would be very similar to Eric's set_proj_lib_env and would go in
do_proj.c
So before calling pj_transform(), the transform function ( pj_do_proj() )
would have a line something like this:
pj_set_finder( "set_proj_lib" );
and the finder function itself could look like:
#define GRIDDIR "/etc/nad"
const char * set_proj_lib (const char *name)
{
const char *gisbase = G_gisbase();
char *buf = NULL;
size_t len = strlen(gisbase) + sizeof(GRIDDIR)
+ strlen(name) + 1;
buf = G_malloc(len);
sprintf (buf, "%s%s/%s", gisbase, GRIDDIR, name);
return buf;
}
How does this look?
