[Gdal-dev] Compiling gdal 1.4.2 with HDF4.2 fails

[Edward Fialkowski]

Hi list, I'm trying to rebuild gdal with hdf4 support and running into a
compilation error:

g++ -shared   /usr/local/src/gdal-1.4.2/frmts/o/*.o /usr/local/src/gdal-

a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/src/HDF4.2r1/NewHDF/lib/libmfhdf.a: could not read symbols: Bad
value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


I've seen this before, recompile with -fPIC, and from gdal configure I
included -fPIC:

  Installation directory:    /usr/local
  C compiler:                gcc -fPIC
  C++ compiler:              g++ -fPIC


So, either it's another problem or the flags aren't getting picked up at
this command, so I'm not quite sure where or how to include the flag in this
command.  I'm not so great with makefiles, but I'm trying.

Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
