[Gdal-dev] gdal/python

[Maciek Sieczka]

Hi!

I've been trying to build Gdal 1.2.1 on Linux and I'm an absolute beginner.
I'm having problems with Python. Though I've installed plenty of Python
stuff which I think Gdal may require the Python part still fails in
configure. What Python bits are needed to build Gdal with Python actually?

I'm configuring this way:

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/python2.3/Numeric -I/usr/include/mpatrol"
CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -Wall" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -Wall"
./configure

And in the config.log I get:

(...)
configure:24160: checking for python
configure:24176: found /usr/bin/python
configure:24186: result: python
configure:24202: checking where python Makefiles are
configure:24217: result: found
configure:24221: checking Python makefile
configure:24228: result: missing, python disabled.
configure:24335: checking for NumPy include files
configure:24345: result: missing
(...)
PYTHON='no'
PYTHON_CC=''
PYTHON_CFLAGS=''
PYTHON_INCLUDES=''
PYTHON_LIBS=''
PYTHON_LINK=''
PYTHON_OPT=''
PYTHON_SO=''
(...)
pyexecdir='/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages'
pymoddir=''
pythondir='/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages'
(...)

Can somebody tell me BTW what options to pass to configure to optimise the
Fortran code (there is some in Gdal, right?)? I can't make it out of the g77
info and man, as for an amateur the gcc man is much more understandable I
think.
