[Gdal-dev] problems compiling dods into gdal

[Charlton Purvis]

Hi, all:

I am running into problems when I try building OPeNDAP into gdal.  I was originally trying to follow a MapServer wiki post (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?DODS_Build), but that was a bit dated, so I thought I'd get the latest and greatest of both worlds.

I believe I successfully covered my bases w/ the prerequisite libcurl and libxml.

I downloaded libdap-3.5.1.tar.gz from UCAR and followed a:
  * ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/dods/3.5.1
  * make
  * make install
  * ldconfig

That all went fine.

I downloaded gdal-1.2.6.tar.gz from gdal.org and followed a:
  * ./configure --with-dods-root=/usr/local/dods/3.5.1 --without-python
  * The configure works fine and shows that DODS support will be 'yes'.
  * make
  * Make has problems when it gets to the dods stuff.  It can't find .h's, and it looks like the INC gets set incorrectly.  It should be looking in /usr/local/dods/3.5.1/include/dap rather than what I see on the @INC output which is /usr/local/dods/3.5.1/include.

make -C dods install-obj
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/download/gdal-1.2.6/frmts/dods'
/bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=compile g++ -Wall  -O2    -I../../port -I../../gcore -I../../alg -I../../ogr -I../../ogr/ogrsf_frmts -I../../port  -I/usr/local/dods/3.5.1/include -c -o ../o/dodsdataset2.o dodsdataset2.cpp
 g++ -Wall -O2 -I../../port -I../../gcore -I../../alg -I../../ogr -I../../ogr/ogrsf_frmts -I../../port -I/usr/local/dods/3.5.1/include -c dodsdataset2.cpp  -fPIC -DPIC -o ../o/.libs/dodsdataset2.o
dodsdataset2.cpp:50:19: debug.h: No such file or directory
[followed by more errors]

So I thought that it was only a matter of an @INC path.  Since I had nothing to lose I tried both adding the correct path to the INC of the ./configure, and then I also tried copying the *.h's into what gdal wanted for the heck of it.  Neither worked well since I ran into cpp errors which I know zilch about.

(after copying the *.h's to where gdal could find them)
make -C dods install-obj
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/download/gdal-1.2.6/frmts/dods'
/bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=compile g++ -Wall  -O2    -I../../port -I../../gcore -I../../alg -I../../ogr -I../../ogr/ogrsf_frmts -I../../port  -I/usr/local/dods/3.5.1/include -c -o ../o/dodsdataset2.o dodsdataset2.cpp
 g++ -Wall -O2 -I../../port -I../../gcore -I../../alg -I../../ogr -I../../ogr/ogrsf_frmts -I../../port -I/usr/local/dods/3.5.1/include -c dodsdataset2.cpp  -fPIC -DPIC -o ../o/.libs/dodsdataset2.o
dodsdataset2.cpp: In constructor `DODSDataset::DODSDataset()':

Any help appreciated.  gentoo.  Colinux rocks for those who want 2 for the price of one.
