[Gdal-dev] gdal_translate segfaults at tiff->envi

[Vincent Schut]

Replying my own post...

The problem appeared to be that my tiff files were *not* geotiff files, and 
thus contained no projection info. This resulting in an empty pszProjName and 
thus a segfaulting strstr(pszProjName, "UTM") (line 363 in envidataset.cpp).
If we want gdal_translate to export projection-less envi files, I suggest 
changing line 363 in something like:
if ( ( pszProjName != NULL ) && ( strstr( pszProjName, "UTM" ) ) )
which resolved the problem.

If we don't want it to write envi files without proj info, I suppose it should 
generate an error message and quit. Maybe a 'bin' or 'raw' output format 
could be added then to have envi-like (simple binary) files?

Regards,
Vincent Schut.
