[gdal-dev] Fwd: arcsde ogr driver and GDAL 2+

[Johan Van de Wauw]

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone has used the arcsde driver with GDAL 2+

I immediately bumped on two issues:
the first is a compilation error, see patch:
https://github.com/johanvdw/gdal/commit/b83ef2eaf1c2bcca8b012d4fb39ee0589302fe93

The second is an error because there are both an OGR and a raster driver:
johan at wp1270-debian:~/test# ogrinfo arcsde.vrt sde_layer
Error opening file for reading: No such file or directory
ERROR 1: A non OGR driver is registered with the same name: SDE
FAILURE:
Unable to open datasource `arcsde.vrt' with the following drivers.

I could fix this error by renaming the ogr driver:
https://github.com/johanvdw/gdal/commit/dc3c5f50af10372995a1cff23bd874694309231a
Not sure though if that is the best possible fix.

After that fix there was still an error which I'm still investigating,
but I'd like to know if this is a good way to fix that error or if I
should do sth else.

I got the driver working before on 1.9 -> 1.11.5, but this also
required some plumbing (linking gdal to pthread_atfork.o, which can be
extracted on debian as:
ar -xv /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.a pthread_atfork.o
). See the problems reported here: [1]

Kind Regards,
Johan
