[gdal-dev] Mac OS X tiger Drag & Drop GDAL

[philippe brosson]

Thanks to GDAL developers and William Kyngesburye's  help (http:// 
www.kyngchaos.com/software:frameworks), i could build a standalone  
GUI for gdal_translate and gdalinfo for Macintosh PPC Mac OS X Tiger  
(10.4)
It is a drag & drop application for converting a JPEG map into an IGN  
Geoportail , DATUM=RGF93, PROJ=GEOPORTALFXX ECW map. Reverse  
conversion ECW to JPEG is also possible.
The only requirement is to have a script file containing the  
coordinates of the upper and lower corner of the map, and that this  
script be in the same directory as the JPEG map file.
I would like to share  this software (in a dmg file) for free by  
posting on my website or any place. ERMapper license for libecwj2 is  
extremely complex and i do not understand what is allowed and what is  
not. Do you think that this would be legal?

More details on the software:
There are 3 applications:
1/
Jpeg2ECW_geoRef.app  which contains gdal_translate, gdalinfo and the  
4 libraries libgdal.1.dylib, libNCSCnet.0.dylib,libNCSEcw. 
0.dylib,libNCSUtil.0.dylib
and a script running gdal_translate $1 $1.ecw
Another script file containing the coordinates of the upper and lower  
corners of the map,

2/
ECW2JPEG.app  which contains gdal_translate, and the 4 libraries  
libgdal.1.dylib, libNCSCnet.0.dylib,libNCSEcw.0.dylib,libNCSUtil.0.dylib
and a script running gdal_translate  $1 $1.JPEG

3/
GDAL_Info.app  which contains gdalinfo, and the 4 libraries libgdal. 
1.dylib, libNCSCnet.0.dylib,libNCSEcw.0.dylib,libNCSUtil.0.dylib
and a script running  gdalinfo  $1

gdal_translate and gdalinfo are the standard command line binaries

These drag & drop Mac OS X Application have been created thanks to  
Open source Platypus developer tool by Sveinbjorn Thordarson
This is a very clever and easy to use tool.

philippe
