Markus,
I sent the below message to Matt Stephenson, the OS X FINK gdal package maintainer. I did not test to see if ogr and PROJ4 work, but I will this weekend once I re-install my fink grass package. I would like to be able to import some USGS data I’ve had sitting on my computer for a year now but I’m having difficulty even finding enough description of the files’ boundries projections, etc, to be able to even setup the correct location and region settings in GRASS. I think I tried v.in.ogr six months ago and it seems like I did get an ogr and/or PROJ4 error message, but maybe my DLG files aren’t importable by gdal anyway…
Gdal 1.8.0-2 was updated 8/2/03 so perhaps Matt has already fixed this.
I included instructions I got six months ago on compiling gdal on OS X, from Aymeric GILLAIZEAU. If anyone out there has a grass build that works perfectly on OS X please let me know.
Thank you,
Eric

Matt,
I noticed a message/web page today for a GRASS 5.1 binary installer for OS X and the page asked to notify the FINK gdal maintainer that certain features don’t work in the Fink gdal package. I am currently re-installing GRASS by fink so I have not yet been able to test this. I don’t see ogr and PROJ4 advertised to work on the gdal package so perhaps you are aware of this.
In case no one eles has yet notified you, I figured I ought to get this message to you. Also, six months ago, I did receive instructions on compiling gdal but I have not yet tested it. Compiling scares me. Perhaps Markus’s fink install was older than your most recent revision 1.8.0-2? Anyway, in case it helps, I also fwd you the instructions I got from Aymeric Gillaizeau six months ago and maybe he has even better info now.
good luck,
Thank-you for your efforts,
Eric

Note: As OGR supports seems to be missing in the FINK GDAL package, v.in.ogr and v.out.ogr are not (yet) included.
Please tell the FINK people to include OGR into their GDAL package.
PROJ4 (seems to be missing in FINK),
GDAL (get from FINK).
More? Let me know.

Status:Hi !
I have seen your message on Grass mailing list :
I could not get gdal to compile. There is problem with the ranlib
and/or libtool in /usr/bin. It wants to make a shared library for
gdal rather than a static library.I have been able to built GDAL 1.1.8 without any problem. This is how to proceed.
First with Configure :
./configure --with-libz=/usr/lib --with-png=internal --with-tiff=internal --with-geotiff=internal --with-jpeg=internal --with-gif=internal --with-pg=/usr/local/bin/pg_config --without-pythonIn my configuration, I use Proj 4.4.5 and PostgreSQL 7.3.2
Then, you edit the GDALmake.opt, then you replace as follow :
CXX_OPTFLAGS =-O2 by CXX_OPTFLAGS =-O2 -DPROJ_STATIC
C_OPTFLAGS =-O2 -I/usr/local/include by C_OPTFLAGS =-O2 -I/usr/local/include -DPROJ_STATIC
LIBS:= $(filter-out -ldbmalloc,$(LIBS)) by LIBS:= $(filter-out -ldbmalloc,$(LIBS)) -dl (You have to do it twice)
LD_SHARED=gcc -dynamiclib by LD_SHARED=g++ -dynamiclibNow you do the
makeyou’ll get an Error message that says that ogrsf_frmts.a is obsolete
just do
ranlib /gdal-1.1.8/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/ogrsf_frmts.athen restart the make
then
sudo make installI hope it will help you.
Regards,
Aymeric.
