[Qgis-developer] QGIS Building Error

[Martin Dobias]

Hi,

now I've tried building with geos 3.0.0 with MinGW and getting the
same problem with undefined references. When I try to link GEOS
statically I get errors about multiple definition of some symbols, I
guess because of being defined inline and non-inline too, e.g.:

c:\msys\local\lib\libgeos.a(inlines.o): In function
`ZNK4geos4geom30CoordinateArraySequenceFactory6createEPSt6vectorINS0_10CoordinateESaIS3_EE':
C:/msys/local/src/geos-3.0.0/source/../source/headers/geos/geom/CoordinateArraySequenceFactory.inl:28:

So I've tried configuring geos with --disable-inline flag but this
lead just to bunch of error when linking geos library (not qgis!)...

.libs/libgeos.la-2.o: In function `GLOBAL__D__ZN4geos2io9WKTWriterC2Ev':
C:/msys/local/src/geos-3.0.0/source/io/WKTWriter.cpp:421: undefined

[...]

Once I've put #define GEOS_INLINE to qgsgeometry.h it seems to compile
and link well (both with DLL and static link). But is this a solution?
