Hobu,

"LIBGEOTIFF_VERSION is never defined by any of our configuration stuff.
What was the thought here?"

I know LIBGEOTIFF_VERSION is never defined anywhere in libLAS,
but it is defined by libgeotiff.
Now, if you build libLAS with GDAL (which includes libgeotiff in number
of places), but *without* libgeotiff explicitly, libLAS does not
compile. This is because:


I would note that the only supported configuration of using GDAL *without* an explicit libgeotiff requires a *GDAL source tree*, and not just the gdal-config script. This is because GDAL does not install libgeotiff headers as part of its install. I don't think that is the problem in this instance, however.

1. This is true
#ifndef HAVE_LIBGEOTIFF

2. GDAL implicitly injects libgeotiff stuff into libLAS space, like

typedef struct GTIFS *GTIF;

So, we need to have extra test that assures
#ifndef HAVE_LIBGEOTIFF
is true only if both conditions are true: 1) libLAS is explicitly
configured with libgeotiff and 2) geotiff header is included.


ok, I understand now.  reverted http://liblas.org/changeset/1241
