I try to remember to remove that stuff from the various config  
scripts (like gdal-config).  It's certainly annoying that static  
libraries get added to those distributed config scripts.  I may have  
missed something.  Which version of my packages?  I just cleaned up a  
bunch of stuff for 3.1, including double-checking those scripts.   
Getting those online is on my list to do this morning.  Check back in  
a half hour.

Same here - just for the command line stuff.  I just call it Xcode,  
even tho I'm just using gcc and friends.  I've heard the debugging  
environment is nice, but I don't really do C programming myself, just  
porting.  I know enough to hack fixes and patches and get into  
trouble ^_^


PS. I tried building PROJ with a relative path to share/proj.  Proj  
commands, and probably other stuff like gdal, had no problem with  
that, but MapServer did.  Probably because the relative path is from  
whatever is using the library, ie bin/proj|gdal -> ../share/proj, but  
MapServer is is a completely different location (either CGI folder or  
PHP ext folder).

It could be made to work, but it would be a totally separate build.   
Better to use the PROJ_LIB var.  Does QGIS do this already?  Same for  
GDAL.

Theory of the Universe

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly  
what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly  
disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely  
inexplicable.  There is another theory which states that this has  
already happened.
