[gdal-dev] Compiling GDAL JNI libraries

[Sunil Padda]

Hi,

I am trying to compile GDAL with Java bindings, but am facing issues. 
Here is what I have done:
1. Download gdal source from http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadSource
2. Build gdal libraries
     cd gdal
     ./configure
     make
     sudo make install
3. Install SWIG
4. Update JAVA_HOME in gdal/swig/java/java.opt
5. Build gdal JNI
     cd gdal/swig/java
     make

I am seeing errors like this:

declared in this scope
gdal_wrap.cpp:4600: warning: unused variable 
'GDALDriverShadow_get_ShortName'

I don't have experience in C++ or Make, so couldn't figure out how to 
fix this. But, it looks like some problem with a) referenced gdal c++ 
headers/libraries or b) invalid compiler options

It would be great if you can help me fix this issue.

Thanks,
Sunil
