[GRASS5] Fwd: (fink) Gdal package-missing ogr?

[William K]

Well, I can't say perfect - there's much I haven't tried yet, and I've 
run into a couple snags, but so far it's working great.  Here's some 
thoughts:

Mac OS 10.2.6, and I'm using the GCC 3.3 update, no Fink (I'm a 
do-it-yourselfer).

- no problems building proj.4  v4.4.7

- GDAL 1.1.9  Similar to the build instructions you have, I also have 
to tweak the GDAL make opt.  I also add the ranlib to the makefile, so 
I can let it run all the way thru without a break.  I've also had an 
issue with libgrass (I use GDAL with mapserver as well, so it needs 
libgrass): GRASS won't build if GDAL has libgrass, so I need to build 
two copies of GDAL and swap them when building GRASS.  Otherwise, seems 
to work with GRASS.

- I'm only using GRASS 5.3 CVS, not 5.7, so I can't try v.in.ogr.  
Something for me to look into - I'm interested in the improved vector 
engine.

- I have to disable r3.showdspf.openGL in the g3d module for the module 
to build (recent comments suggest this is broken, since the --with-glw 
config option is supposed to be needed to build that command).  Other 
than this, the GRASS build is pretty smooth now.

- I can't get the tcltkgrass to work - it crashes after the select 
mapset dialog.  It's not a big priority for me, but I should look into 
it (esp. before I check out NVIZ).


I started working on detailed Mac OS X build instructions a few weeks 
ago, but got distracted.  I have some free time this week, so maybe 
I'll finish that and get it on the web.
