[Gdal-dev] OGR SWIG wrapper for Linux

[Howard Butler]

Michael,

In theory the wrappers would work in Mono, but I have never attempted 
to build them with it.  The issue about typemaps for the C# bindings 
still stands.  Someone will have to step forward who is willing to do 
some SWIG and has some knowledge (or is willing to learn) about the 
PINVOKE mechanism.  With that regard, the C# bindings are a bit immature.

Is Mono a common installation on most Linux machines yet?  I don't 
see any reason why we couldn't add a configure option and a 
GNUMakefile to the swig/csharp directory if someone submitted patches 
and can get a build setup going.

On windows, the swig bindings build process is still manual for all 
languages except Python.  If someone knows how to do compiler version 
detection (vc6 vs. vc7.1 and above) and has some ideas on how to 
smoothly integrate things with the rest of GDAL's build setup, that'd be great.
