[gdal-dev] ESRI Shapefile API missing

[Derek Newhall]

Hi all,

We've just migrated from GDAL 3.5.1 to 3.7.0 which we build with (almost)
all external dependencies as static libraries. However, we've noticed that
when we try to compile our app against the resulting library the ESRI
Shapefile API isn't available.

Severity Code Description
Error LNK2001 unresolved external symbol DBFClose
Error LNK2001 unresolved external symbol SHPOpen
<snip>
Error LNK2001 unresolved external symbol SHPCreateObject
Error LNK2001 unresolved external symbol SHPClose

Looking at the .libs' symbols:

DUMPBIN /linkermember D:\gdal-3.5.1\build\gdal_i.lib | sls DBF

   1ED958 DBFOpen
   1ED958 __imp_DBFOpen
   1ED9BC DBFOpenLL
   1ED9BC __imp_DBFOpenLL
   1ED3D0 DBFCreate
   1ED3D0 __imp_DBFCreate
   1ED436 DBFCreateEx
   1ED436 __imp_DBFCreateEx
<snip 50+ lines>
     1257 __imp_DBFWriteNULLAttribute
     1256 __imp_DBFWriteStringAttribute
     125B __imp_DBFWriteTuple

DUMPBIN /linkermember D:\gdal-3.7.0\build\gdal.lib | sls DBF

      DBF OSRGetAxesCount
      DBF __imp_OSRGetAxesCount

We build the DLL and apps with the following command in a .bat script (all
library paths are valid and it compiles):

cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -DBUILD_APPS=ON -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON ^

..

The build documentation at
https://gdal.org/development/building_from_source.html says the ESRI
Shapefile API cannot be disabled, so I'm wondering what's going on.  Is
this a bug, or did we just misconfigure something? This is our first time
semi-successfully building with the new CMake system.
