What about updating
ogr/ogrsf_frmts/avc/
to avc tools 1.3 and adding the tools there? Then GRASS could simply fetch it
from GDAL/OGR.
Or do all in OGR:
http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159
? I still didn't find the money to finanze that...
Does GRASS not bundle its own copy of the
library like everybody else does?
No, not yet. That would be another option.
Of course if someone wants to contribute a Makefile.in and configure.in
then I'd be happy to include them in future releases. Or if you could
tell me the minimum requirements for Debian distributions (config
scripts, shared lib, man pages, etc?) then I can have a look, but as
Markus noticed, I can sometimes be slow to get to that kind of stuff.
Oh, that wasn't meant to be offensive, moreover I wanted to stress the
fact that the original developers cannot do all on their own... And not
everybody is familiar with Debian policies in detail.
