I have built mapserver-4.0.1 successfully (but with some trouble) on
Solaris 2.8 using gcc 3.3.
I had already successfully built and installed libgd-2.0.15, libjpeg,
libpng-1.2.5, libtiff-3.6.0, libgeotiff-1.2.1, libgdal-1.1.9,
libcurl-7.10.8 but I got a "configure" error related to using gdal / ogr,
caused by a dependence on libgeotiff.
[I have not managed to include xercesc support in GDAL, but use GDAL for
its OGR library. When I installed the built GDAL libraries, they went
into the install directory as "gdal.a", "ogr.a", "ogrsf_frmts.a", and
"libgdal.1.1.so". Under Solaris, should the first three all be prefixed
with "lib", please? ]
On running ./configure in my Mapserver directory (with appropriate
options), I got this error.
configure:4664: checking whether we should include OGR support...
configure:4724: checking for OGRRegisterAll in -lgdal.1.1
configure:4743: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c -lgdal.1.1 -lm
-lstdc++ -L/riu/links/local/lib -lgdal.1.1 1>&5
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
__eprintf /riu/links/local/lib/libgeotiff.so
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to conftest
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 4732 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
/* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */
/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */
char OGRRegisterAll();
int main() {
OGRRegisterAll()
; return 0; }
I isolated the "conftest.c" program
#line 4732 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
/* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */
/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */
char OGRRegisterAll();
int main() {
OGRRegisterAll()
; return 0; }
and built it with the "gcc" command above. It failed, of course.
The build failed, too, with the simpler command :
gcc -o conftest conftest.c -lgdal.1.1
but it succeeded with
gcc -o conftest conftest.c -lgdal.1.1 -lgeotiff
The "-lgdal.1.1" is essentially the library switch that is reported by the
installed "gdal-config".
I'm not sure whether this error is because "configure" is not correctly
set up, or whether this is to do with the dependence of "gdal" on
libtiff/libgeotiff, or a mistake on my part.
I have worked around this problem by changing line 4721 of "configure"
from
LIBS="$LIBS `$GDAL_CONFIG --libs`"
to
LIBS="$LIBS `$GDAL_CONFIG --libs` -lgeotiff"
"configure" now runs to completion, and builds a "Makefile" which works.
I hope this information might be of use to others. Any ideas for a
permanent fix to "configure" would be welcomed, I'm sure.
