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

[John A Stevenson]

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the quick reply.  Based on the discussion, I changed the 
entries in my configure file from 7.0.svn to 7.0.0.  I also changed the 
paths in the Makefile to the proj tables and created a directory for the 
drivers.

```
sed -i 's/\.7\.0\.svn/\.7\.0\.0/g' configure
sed -i 's/etc\/ellipse/etc\/proj\/ellipse/g' Makefile.in
sed -i 's/etc\/datum/etc\/proj\/datum/g' Makefile.in
sudo mkdir /usr/local/share/gdal

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/postgresql" CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall" LDFLAGS="-s" 
./configure \
             --with-grass=/usr/lib/grass70 \
             --with-gdal=/usr/bin/gdal-config

make
sudo make install
```

The plugin now compiles and installs cleanly, but gdal doesn't seem to 
be using it:

# gdalinfo --formats | grep -i grass
  GRASSASCIIGrid (rov): GRASS ASCII Grid

Do you know how I can make it use it, or how I can tell if it is even 
looking for it?

Cheers
John

p.s. I had searched the developer list archives for gdal plugin, but 
that thread didn't appear.

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.
