re [gdal-dev] make install -- copy shapefil.h into the include dir
I think this is pretty good idea. Now I have add a function into shapelib files, which can read a geometry from shapefile directly, not through OGRFeature, and I have copilated shapelib into GDAL, then, in my applications I will include shapefil.h and use that fuction to read a geometry. so it is very fast! ___ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev

It is not the practice of the project to install the include files of sublibraries like shapelib (dgnlib, tiff, geotiff, etc) and it isn't something I want to start.

[gdal-dev] make install -- copy shapefil.h into the include dir
Hi, I have a MEX that links against shapelib and works fine. However, I just tried to link it against GDAL since it has the same ability to read shapefiles in OGR and it also works. All I had to do was to copy the shapefil.h from ...\gdal\ogr\ogrsf_frmts\shape to ...\gdal\include so can I ask as a kind of enhancement request that the shapefil.h be moved to the include dir by the make install procedure so that for the next GDAL release I can have my makefiles link that MEX to GDAL only and therefore drop the need of having also a shapelib instaled?

Re: [gdal-dev] make install -- copy shapefil.h into the include dir
Even, Thanks for the feedback. I think I understand what you mean but on the other hand I got puzzled as well. Glad that my memory is not too rotten with age as I remember one of your mails that ended up as ticket #1810 http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/1810 where you explained that (and this is my interpretation of it), on Windows the --with-hide-internal-symbols behavior is the default one. But I'm testing on Windows and it worked fine with the link to gdal_i.lib. If it works here, why should it fail on *nix? Joaquim Joaquim, I'm not sure this is a good idea.

Re: [gdal-dev] make install -- copy shapefil.h into the include dir
I didn't check for that particular case, but yes, they are indeed exported. Is it by design or just because it is like it is ? I don't know... ___ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
