[Gdal-dev] Compiling under Linux Standard Base

[Curt, WE7U]

I'm having difficulties in disabling some of the options in GDAL via
configure.  For instance these don't appear to work:

    --without-libtiff
    --without-geotiff

If I try to disable libtiff, configure picks it up from the system.
I don't want to use the external library instead of the internal, I
want it disabled entirely.

If I try to disable geotiff configure bombs out before completing.
If I specify "/opt/lsb/lib" as the directory configure isn't seeing
it even though libgeotiff.a is there.

I have libgeotiff/libtiff compiled into my application so I don't
currently need them in GDAL.  In fact I'm trying to disable pretty
much every raster option 'cuz I'm really only after the OGR stuff at
the moment.

I'm still plugging along trying to compile GDAL under LSB.  No luck
so far, but I have many things left to try.  The compile currently
bombs out here:

I can't for the life of me figure out why it's picking up some of
the system libraries:  I specified alternate directories to
configure and it shouldn't be looking in /usr/local/lib or /usr/lib
for libraries.  That's why I'm getting the undefined references 'cuz
it's depending on non-LSB libraries in this case.

The whole idea behind LSB is that I must only depend upon the
libraries distributed with LSB.  I can compile my own libraries, but
they must in turn depend only on LSB or on others that I've compiled
that depend only upon LSB libraries.  The end result is a portable
executable across Linux systems.
