[GRASS-dev] Linking gdal 1.5.1 in mingw

Hi all,

I've struggled with this for most of today, so thought see if anyone
here had any clues to my troubles.

I'm following the below guide to compile GRASS and related libraries
from scratch on Windows using MinGW:

http://www.webalice.it/marco.pasetti/grass/BuildFromSource.html

I've gotten up to compiling GDAL, but it doesn't link... saying:

----

When I check for the missing file,
/usr/local/src/gdal-1.5.1/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/o/.libs/arraylist.o seems to
be sitting there with appropriate permissions and all.

Looking around, alot of the GDAL compilation guides say to configure
using "--without-libtool" but that just results in lots of undefined
references.

Has any one successfully compiled GDAL 1.5.1 using the above guide?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Hi Joel,

Has any one successfully compiled GDAL 1.5.1 using the above guide?

yes, sure, I never publish anything if I don’t check it’s actually working :wink:
did you hacked gdal-1.5.1\GNUmakefile?

Not the makefile, I think: see below.

The specific problem is that the libtools builder file is broken in 1.5.*,
and at line 5658 or thereabouts in ltmain.sh, you see an

$ECHO "$obj" >> $output

which needs an inserted

$ECHO "$obj" | ${SED} -e 's/^.*gdal-[0-9].[0-9].[0-9]/\./' >> $output

to edit out the unneeded path name. This was found by inspecting the
$output file (it is deleted quickly, so you have to grab it while it
is there), but I'm open to alternative fixes.

Hi Roger,

since I compiled it just yesterday, I don’t see how could that be, if he followed my guide in every instruction.
Libtool fails because he needs to work with different paths as set by default in the makefile; that’s why it’s necessaty to modify it.

OK, I accept that you could edit the GNUMakefile instead of ltmain.sh, really it is the same problem that since 1.5, GDAL and MSYS are not friends.

Thanks for the help guys!

I had actually made a mistake with not editing the GNUMakefile... but
I went back and changed it, did a make clean, reconfigured and started
from scratch but obviously that wasn't sufficient...

Cheers,
