[pgpointcloud] Installing PGpointcloud

["Nielsen, Thorbjørn Kjærshøj"]

Dear Paul,

Thanks a lot for the google doc. It is the first time with CentOS for me, so bear with me...

I have tried twice (on virtualboxes). Once with a minimal install iso and once with a liveDVD iso and I hit the same brick wall twice. First of all there are some packages not mentioned in the document (they are probably more or less obvious for most advanced users - which I am not - just mentioning them): 

yum install wget
yum install gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake
yum install make
yum install boost
yum install boost-devel
yum install git
yum install libxml2-devel
yum install python-devel
yum install numpy
yum install postgresql-libs
yum install libpqxx-devel

Following the installation instruction, I stop at 

# Install PDAL from source
git clone https://github.com/PDAL/PDAL.git
mkdir PDAL-build
cd PDAL-build
cmake28 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo \
 -DPDAL_EMBED_BOOST=ON \
 -DWITH_GDAL=ON \
 -DWITH_ICONV=ON \
 -DWITH_ORACLE=OFF \
 -DWITH_GEOTIFF=ON \
 -DWITH_LASZIP=OFF \
 -DWITH_LIBXML2=ON \
 -DWITH_PYTHON=ON \
 -DWITH_PGPOINTCLOUD=ON \
 -DPOSTGRESQL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/pgsql-9.2/include \
 -DPOSTGRESQL_LIBRARIES=/usr/pgsql-9.2/lib/libpq.${SO_EXT} \
 ../PDAL
make && make install

When running make && make install I get:

Any idea what I have done wrong or how to progress from here? Am I using the right linux distribution (centos 6.4, 64bit)? 

Kind regards,

Thorbjørn

It's still very much a developer oriented thing, build-wise, though we're starting to get some folks packaging (perhaps Regina will chime in). I did prepare a more detailed build guide for Centos, which is here:  

https://docs.google.com/a/opengeo.org/document/d/1qJjiNUleh220so1gwthTtyJuBZj0TD3eDMTql-djCk8/edit#heading=h.o93gbw7hl2hx

Yes, there's some tricks for sure.

I have tried the installation guide from https://github.com/pramsey/pointcloud via Ubuntu on a virtualbox but it is not working for me (says something about “missing autoconf!”)
