<P><FONT size=2>> the last doubt is if those options are needed for qgis+grass building.<BR>> I'all ask to qgis-dev<BR><BR>They aren't.<BR><BR>> <BR>> another questions: reading BuildingWindowsBinaryOnLinux QgisWiki, I<BR>> noticed that the guide tells to build all the libs (XDR, ZLIB, PROJ.4<BR>> first, included in Paul Kelly's prebuilt-package, and then GEOS, GSL,<BR>> EXPAT, PostgreSQL, GDAL and SQLite) before to build GRASS, while the<BR>> WindowsWiki tells to build/install GEOS, GSL, EXPAT, PostgreSQL and<BR>> SQLite after GRASS and GDAL "Level Two"; could that be another<BR>> WinGrassWiki bug? (I'm sure now that PostgreSQL and SQLite are needed<BR>> before GRASS build!)<BR><BR>Neitjer PostgreSQL nor SQLite are needed for a basic version of<BR>QGIS+GRASS. All other libraries are needed by either GRASS or GDAL<BR>or both to be installed first.<BR><BR>If you want support for SQLite and PostgreSQL and GRASS, you need<BR>to have them installed first, as well.<BR><BR>Benjamin<BR><BR>> <BR>> Many thanks.

Without libtool, you have to to delete<BR>> the static libs and exe tools and re-link everything for stage one and<BR>> two -- tedious but works.<BR>><BR>>><BR>>> So the real question is: does GDAL need ngpython, xerces, jasper and<BR>>> postresql? (I know grass is needed, but the guide suggest to build GDAL<BR>>> first without it, and then rebuild it with grass support enabled).<BR>><BR>> GDAL needs none of those for the basic libraries to build. Xerces is an<BR>> XML parser. It's needed for GDAL to be able and access web mapping<BR>> services. NGPython is for GDAL Python bindings. Only interesting if you<BR>> intend to directly script-programm GDAL using Python. Jasper adds<BR>> another raster image format support to GDAL.<BR>><BR>> You have to first build and install GDAL without GRASS support.<BR>> Then configure and build GRASS (it will detect GDAL correctly and enable<BR>> GDAL support, even though no GRASS support is enabled in GDAL at this<BR>> stage!). Install GRASS. Then reconfigure GDAL with GRASS support, build<BR>> and install again. That should do it.<BR>><BR>> Benjamin<BR>><BR>>><BR>>> Thanks,<BR>>><BR>>> MP<BR>>><BR>>> ------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR>>><BR>>> *Da:* grass-dev-bounces@lists.osgeo.org per conto di Benjamin Ducke<BR>>> *Inviato:* mar 05/02/2008 11.39<BR>>> *Cc:* grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org<BR>>> *Oggetto:* Re: [GRASS-dev] Re: Building GRASS/QGIS with MSYS<BR>>><BR>>>><BR>>>> Now the question: is with-libtool necessary for gdal? because there are<BR>>><BR>>> It's not.
