Comment:
Replying to [ticket:3169 opoplawski]:
> Is there any reason at this point to not compile against an external
shapelib?
AFAIR we picked shapelib many years ago from http://shapelib.maptools.org/
(points to http://download.osgeo.org/shapelib/). The last release appears
to be from 2012 since it then became part of OGR
(https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser/branches/2.1/gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/shape).
Here is what we changed after that (for some years we kept it in sync with
OGR, then lost track due to the needed effort). For the procedure, see
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/lib/external/shapelib/README
The real question is: cannot we call the shape driver via OGR interface
and drop our own copy?
