[Gdal-dev] Build on FreeBSD-4.11 fails (again)

[Benjamin Thelen]

Hi all,

four month after we managed to get gdal-1.3.1 running on FreeBSD-4.11, I  
decided to upgrade. I suprisingly saw that building gdal-1.3.1 stops
again, but with a different error message - please have
a look below. Building gdal-1.3.1 --without-geos is successful! In December
gdal-1.3.1 built successfully with geos-2.1.4. Well, something crucial
must have changed within GEOS.

Will there be a chance to get it going again?

Another question is, can I live "without-geos"? If yes, there maybe is no
need to get gdal built on a legacy FreeBS 4.11 (with GEOS support). I
mean, GEOS support is used by PostGIS and MapServer connects to PostGIS
directly. Which are the cases GEOS support is required for gdal (or
MapServer)?

Thanks,
Ben
