[gdal-dev] Configuring GDAL 1.11.1 to use GEOS

[William Kelly Magee]

Ari,

Thank you for the response.

Correct, I had not run "make install" on GEOS.  Since I am building GDAL 
without installing, I wanted to build GEOS the same.  This evidently 
results in GDAL not finding GEOS.  Running "make install" on GEOS, prior 
to building GDAL, correctly identifies GEOS support (confirmed GDAL 
configure output).

I am running into a second issue and not sure if anyone on the list has 
ever attempted this.  I am static linking libgdal.a to my app (no 
problem here) and am having difficulty static linking libgeos_c.a and 
libgeos.a.  I've tried copying the .a files to the working dir and have 
also tried using those in /usr/local/lib (put there by make install).  
Still get unresolved references.

I am assuming it is possible since static libraries for GEOS are 
created.  Do you know of any problems static linking?

Once again thanks!

- Kelly
