[gdal-dev] Re: dev-version of HDF4

[Knut-Frode Dagestad]

I forgot to say, but I have also tried by specifying the location of 
HDF4, with similar error:

...
checking for SDreaddata in -lmfhdfalt... no
checking for SDreaddata in -lmfhdf... no
checking for SDreaddata in -lhdf4... no
checking for SDreaddata in -lmfhdf... no
checking for SDreaddata in -lmfhdf... no
configure: error: HDF4 support requested with arg 
"/Users/knutfd/Software/hdf-4.2.5/", but neither hdf4 nor mfhdf lib found
...

HDF4 library is there, but somehow configure is not able to detect it. 
HDF4 is compiled without SLIB, so that should not be the problem.
I have also tried with older version of HDF4 (4.2r1), other installation 
points, and prebuilt binaries. And I compiled with options 
--disable-fortran --disable-netcdf --with-pic, as suggested on 
http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/Error-in-GDAL-compiling-with-HDF4-td3351437.html
It has been suggested to use a "dev" version of HDF4, but I don't know 
if that would solve this problem?

Best regards from Knut-Frode
