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

[Michaël Landry]

I found the problem.

Even though I was running a new configure file and calling make clean each time to remove the last built files, some files like config.status were not updated so the installation was running with the same faulty configuration over and over. It seems I could add configuration options, but I could not remove what had already been added.

Before calling ./configure, I had to call make distclean to remove everything that was installed by configure. The command make clean removes things that were generated by Make and the command make distclean removed things that were generated by Configure and Libtools.

I still don't know why my old configuration was not working... but now it works so I don't need to investigate.

Have a nice day!

Objet : Can't build GDAL 3.0.X to read GML format on Linux (Ubuntu 18.04)


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
