[GRASS-user] GRASS 7 and gdal-grass-1.11.2 plugin SOLVED

[John A Stevenson]

Hi Stefan,

After compiling and installing as described before, I was able to point 
GDAL at the GRASS plugin by setting the following variable:

export GDAL_DRIVER_PATH=/usr/lib/gdalplugins

$ ogrinfo --formats | grep -i grass
   -> "GRASS" (readonly)

$ gdalinfo --formats | grep -i grass
   GRASS (ro): GRASS Database Rasters (5.7+)
   GRASSASCIIGrid (rov): GRASS ASCII Grid

Launching QGIS from the command line then lets me use Add Raster Layer 
(from my location's cellhd folder) and Add Vector Layer (choosing 
Directory as the source type).  Now I can view my GRASS 7 data in QGIS.

Thanks,
John

I have also tried patching the configure.in and Makefile.in source files using the patch from here: https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5852 without success.
