R: [gdal-dev] Expat support on MinGW/MSYS

[marco.pasetti at alice.it]

Hi Ari,
 
sorry for the late (incredibly busy in these days);
I tried with your suggestion, but it doesn't work at all!
looking in config-status I found errors after line command
g++ [...] conftest.exe -I/lusr/local/include -L/usr/local/bin -lexpat conftest.cpp
dunno why!
 
I abandoned the will of adding expat support in gdal!
 
thanks anyway
 
Marco

Something's definitely not correct. I'm using the trunk version and I
get configure to find expat.h from c:\mingw\include and expat.dll.a
(which is created with pexports and libtool and the small perl utility)
from c:\mingw\lib with:

1) adding LIBS="$LIBS -lexpat" to configure (lines 23783 and 23787)

and

2) calling configure with

--with-expat=yes --with-expat-inc=/c/mingw/include
--with-expat-lib=-L/c/mingw/lib

Note the value for --with-expat-lib. It seems to be required although
the directory is known by the linker by default.

Regards,

Ari
