[Gdal-dev] latest in the hdf-gdal-grass hdf-eos saga....

[Jeff D. Hamann]

Here are some scenes from last weeks episode:

After realizing that, in order to import HDF-EOS (ASTER) files into GRASS, I
need to compile GRASS with gdal support using the following process

Compile HDF libraries so I can,
compile gdal with HDF support so I can,
compile GRASS with gdal support,
then if I'm lucky, I can try to compile GRASS5.7 (have been building
grass5.3 -- which *still* has documentation for r.in.hdf/r.out.hdf)

And of course I would like to build this on either cygwin of FreeBSD 4.4 or
FreeBSD 5.0. Here's the results:

Under cygwin:

I was able to build GRASS 5.3 and gdal (without hdf support) with ease.
I couldn't build the hdf libraries to build gdal which rules out building
GRASS 5.X with gdal support that supports hdf-eos
I still haven't tried to build 5.7, yet


Under FreeBSD 4.4
I wasn't able to build the gdal-1.1.8 in the /usr/ports since gdal requies

stimpy# cd /usr/ports/graphics/gdal
stimpy# make install
===>   gdal-1.1.8 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/doxygen - not found

stimpy#

Which pretty much killed that idea on FreeBSD 4.4



Under FreeBSD 5.0
I wasn't able to build  the version in /usr/ports since it appears there's
some problem with the LaTeX code? Here's the build (using make) stop

(/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/psnfss/upzd.fd)

So I tried downloaded the gdal-1.1.9 source code and building as a "normal"
project. I ran ./configure, then make and got the following results:

$

So I can't even get gdal-1.1.9 to build manually.
But, GRASS 5.0.2 builds under FreeBSD 5.0 (without gdal support) just fine.

When I downloaded the hdf source code (from where I don't remember anymore)
hdf5-1.6.1.tar.gz, and ran ./configure, then make it built.

I *was* successful in building hdf5-1.6.1 (no extra arguments) under FreeBSD
5.0 from the source code....
I *wasn't* successful in building HDF4.2r0 (without extra args) under
FreeBSD from the source code. The resulting ./configure

checking zlib.h usability... yes
checking zlib.h presence... yes
checking for zlib.h... yes
checking for compress2 in -lz... yes
checking jpeglib.h usability... no
checking jpeglib.h presence... no
checking for jpeglib.h... no
checking for jpeg_start_decompress in -ljpeg... no
$

So I found the /usr/local/include/jpeglib.h  and /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.a
files and used the optional arguments in the ./configure script...

godzilla# ./configure --with-jpeg=/usr/local/include,/usr/local/lib

then ran make and got a bazillion warnings like:

hextelt.c:234: warning: passing arg 2 of `HTPselect' with different width
due to prototype
hextelt.c:242: warning: passing arg 3 of `Hstartread' with different width
due to prototype
hextelt.c:295: warning: passing arg 2 of `Hgetelement' with different width
due to prototype

but it built and installed....and some of the utility programs worked just
fine...

but after all that I still can't figure out how to make gdal-1.1.9. All I
get when I type ./configure (without the --with-hdf4 stuff even) and make
is:

config.status: creating port/cpl_config.h
$ make
make: no target to make.
$

So this project will have to go into the drawer again until I can some of th
ese resolved... And after all that, does anyone actually if GRASS can import
ASTER L1B images? I just can't waste any more time on this for now...

Jeff.
