[gdal-dev] Where to fins my own files

[Sean Gillies]

Happy New Year to you too, Abel.

Other drivers, such as PCI and NITF,  include some files in the data
directory.  See  https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/tree/master/data.
Distributions generally copy these to $prefix/share/gdal on unix-like
systems. I'm not aware of a practice of copying data out of a driver's
directory to that same location, though it's probably possible with Cmake.
Your driver's own directory won't necessarily exist on a system where you
install GDAL.

For datum files, have you checked whether they already exist in the PROJ
project?
