[gdal-dev] Can't build GDAL 3.0.X to read GML format on Linux (Ubuntu 18.04)

[Michaël Landry]

Hi,


I have successfully built and tested GDAL 3.0.1 and 3.0.4 with the SWIG java bindings and everything works fine except that I can't read GML format files. When I call the java method ogr.open( .. ), it always returns null. I investigated and i found out that I cannot open GML files with the ogrinfo app either. It seems the problem is on the native side and not on the bindings side. Here is the output of the command ogrinfo --formats for the app.

I am using a configure script to build my makefiles. I read online at https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/gml.html​ that XERCES or EXPAT is needed to read gml files. I first started to build with only EXPAT and now I am building with EXPAT and XERCES, but I still can't read GML files. Here is my configuration output from the console.

I did not disable the gml driver and the makefile says that gml is built by default. Here is the list of the available formats listed for ogr where you can see gml.

Here is the call i make to configure and to make in my script file to build GDAL.

I also built GDAL 3.0.1 on Windows and the command ogrinfo --formats lists all the possible formats, including gml and maybe 50+ others. Is there a way to build gdal on linux so that all the formats are also available for ogr? I joined my script file to build gdal.

​Thank you for your time!


Michael
