[QGIS-Developer] Globe Plugin

[José de Paula Rodrigues]

Hi all,

I've taken a shot at building qgis with the globe plugin enabled on a
current Gentoo. I've found that the plugin must be built against
osgearth no newer than version 2.8 (which was released 2016-09-15),
because newer versions remove features needed by Globe (osgearth 2.9,
released 2018-02-07, removes the osgEarthUtilModule, and osgearth
2.10.1 - which is the latest release, from 2019-04-19, removes Qt
support altogether).

So, I find that the plugin is unbuildable on a modern system, unless
it drops the need for the osgearth library. Should it be kept in the
qgis tree even so?
