[gdal-dev] include paths and cmake

[Garrett Potts]

Hello All:

Either way should work with frameworks.  The typical is something of the form:

collapsed:

gdal/<headers>

but this is fine as well


not collapsed:

gdal/<path>…./someheader.h

the one that is not collapsed will require a custom cmake process to make the directory structure in the gdal.framworks.  If it's collapsed then cmake's framework support will handle it more easily when doing a framework layout on MACs.


Take care
