[gdal-dev] Error building GDAL 3.8.3: Installed GEOS not found during build

[Eric Patton]

Hi Evan,

I tried running 'cmake .. "-UGEOS*"' followed by 'cmake --build .', but received the same error:

CMakeFiles/GDAL.dir/build.make:2687: *** target pattern contains no '%'. Stop.
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:5005: CMakeFiles/GDAL.dir/all] Error 2make: *** [Makefile:141: all] Error 2

$ grep -i GEOS CMakeCache.txt
//Config file name for GEOS
GDAL_CHECK_PACKAGE_GEOS_NAMES:STRING=GEOS
//Target name candidates for GEOS
GDAL_CHECK_PACKAGE_GEOS_TARGETS:STRING=GEOS::geos_c;GEOS::GEOS
//Set ON to build Geospatial PDF format
