[fdo-internals] Building scripts and dependencies

[Mateusz Loskot]

Hi,

I likely still don't understand how the build.bat script is
supposed to handle dependencies.

I've a clean FDO tree (trunk) and I do:

build_thirdparty.bat -c debug

Now I want to only build PostGIS provider, so I assume the building 
scripts will handle all its dependencies:


----------------------------------------------------------------------
D:\dev\fdo\_svn\trunk>build.bat -c debug -w postgis

I thought it may be postgis configuration issue but, it seems it doesn't 
work for other providers too:


----------------------------------------------------------------------
D:\dev\fdo\_svn\trunk>build.bat -c debug -w shp
Build debug SHP provider dlls

I checked also ogr, wms, still the same files are missing.

If I'm reading the OpenSourceBuild_README.txt correctly,
I don't need to add -w=fdo to the command, do I?

According the readme, I should be able to issue, for instance

build.bat -w=shp

with success?

Are we having a bug?
