[Gdal-dev] gdal-1.3.1 on FreeBSD 4 fails to build

[paul at warriner.us]

All,

The following compiles 1.3.1 on FreeBSD 4.11:
./configure --without-pcraster --with-local=/usr/local

I haven't tried GEOS, yet.

Yes, Frank, it's my fault for all this, but I sure you guessed that. :)

Paul

Ben,

My understanding is that FreeBSD 4.x is still using gcc 2.95, is
that right?  If so, I would encourage you to add --without-pcraster
to the configure and things will hopefully work.

In general I think you will find it difficult to build newer versions
with gcc 2.95 as time passes.

Best regards,
