[Shapelib] Re : need some help

[calpas calpas]

Dear Frank,

Thanks for your kindly message. I am quite a newbie I dont actually know how to 
link my program against the shapelib. Can you please provide me with a sample of 
Makefile that I might try. I'm using the autotools to build the program. I've 
gone through some tutorial but cannot come through.
thanks for your help

Cheers.

Calpas Calpas,

Presumably you are not linking against the shapelib modules.  You
don't give your compile or link information so I can't propose a
variation but basically you will likely need to include the object
code from shapelib in your link in some fashion.  Perhaps by listing
the paths to shpopen.o, dbfopen.o, safileio.o and perhaps shptree.o.

Looking at how the commandline programs in shapelib are linked in
shapelib/Makefile might give you a hint as to how to do so.

Best regards,
