[gdal-dev] Problem in an application calling GDAL library

[Limei Ran]

Hi:

I obtained GDAL1.4.2 and install the software with PROJ.4 statically on 
a linux server.  Now, I am writting a small program using some classes 
in GDAL.  Here is my  Makefile to create exe file for the gdal_gridpoly.cpp:
=============================
# for Linux or any gcc/g++ compiler
CC = gcc
CPP = g++

# for IBM VisualAge compiler on AIX
#CC  = c89
#CPP = xlC_r

#Optional flags - uncomment one OPTFLAGS line
OPTFLAGS = -O2
#OPTFLAGS = -O -DDEBUG

#link flag
LNK_FLAGS =     -pg

#set GDAL library and include directories
GDAL_DIR = /nas/uncch/depts/cep/emc/lran/soft/gdal-1.4.2/local/lib
GDAL_INCLUDE = /nas/uncch/depts/cep/emc/lran/soft/gdal-1.4.2/local/include
LOCAL_DIR = /usr/lib

# Library paths
LIBS = -L$(GDAL_DIR) -lgdal -L$(LOCAL_DIR) -lpq -lz  -lm -lrt -ldl -static
EXE_LIBS = $(GDAL_DIR)/libgdal.la

CPPFLAGS = $(OPTFLAGS) -I$(GDAL_INCLUDE)

all: ogr_gridpoly.exe

ogr_gridpoly.exe:  ogr_gridpoly.o $(EXE_LIBS)
        $(CPP) $(LNK_FLAGS ) ogr_gridpoly.o -o $ogr_gridpoly.exe $(LIBS)

clean:
         -rm -f *.o ogr_gridpoly.exe

ogr_gridpoly.o:  ogr_gridpoly.cpp
        $(CPP) $(CPPFLAGS) ogr_gridpoly.cpp -c -o $@
==================================================

When I make the exe file, I got a lot error messages related to 
undefined references such as:

===================================================

=========================================================

There must be some problems in defining LIBS.  It looks like OCI* stuffs 
are related to oracle.  I looked GDAL's GDALmake.opt.  LIBS is defined as:
LIBS    =       -L/nas/uncch/depts/cep/emc/lran/soft/proj-4.5.0/exe/lib 
-lproj -L/afs/isis.unc.edu/pkg/oracle-1020/client//lib -lclntsh -lnnz10 
-lgif -ljpeg -lpng -L/usr/lib -lpq -lz  -lm -lrt -ldl  $(DWG_LIBS) 
$(SDE_LIB) $(CURL_LIB) $(IDB_LIB)

My question is how I can define GDAL library in my application's 
makefile?  Do I need to include PROJ and oracle lib likes LIBS in GDAL's 
GDALmake.opt in my application Makefile LIBS?

Thanks,
