Suggestions?
I'm not a "normal" user by any means (keep quiet if you all of a
sudden thought of other realms where this is true...), but I of
_course_ have an opinion:
What I tend to do is use whatever packages are available for the
system if they will work for me, else I deinstall those that don't
and install from sources. If I find a 3rd-party compiled package
that will work, I usually prefer that to installing from sources.
That's for the libraries of course. I personally _always_ install
Xastir from sources, but I don't expect the average user to do this.
You should look at maintainability over releases as well. If
packages would work better and the people maintaining them are
pretty good about it, use the packages. If the packages are
sometimes flaky or sometimes late at getting built, use the sources.
I generally go the same way...
Now.. to make things easy for myself I edited
get-maptools.sh
ALL=" http://dl.maptools.org/dl/shapelib/shapelib-1.2.10.tar.gz\
http://dl.maptools.org/dl/gdal/gdal-1.3.1.tar.gz\
http://dl.maptools.org/dl/geotiff/libgeotiff/
libgeotiff-1.2.3.tar.gz"
as pcre and proj are installed (and being recognised by xastir's ./
configure)
shapelib was fine.
First problem, gdal wouldn't compile
g++ -Wall -O2 -I../../port -I../../gcore -I../../alg -I../../ogr -
I../../ogr/ogrsf_frmts -I../../port -c fitdataset.cpp -fPIC -DPIC -
o ../o/.libs/fitdataset.o
fitdataset.cpp:177: error: extra qualification 'FITRasterBand::' on
member 'FITRasterBand'
fitdataset.cpp: In static member function 'static GDALDataset*

make[2]: *** [../o/fitdataset.o] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/j0n/sources/xastir/tmp/gdal-1.3.1/
frmts'
make: *** [frmts-target] Error 2
So, I downloaded 1.3.2 by hand and tried it instead, that worked
however trying to compile geotiff I get this
gcc -O2 -Wall makegeo.o -L/usr/local/lib -L.. -lgeotiff -lproj -
ltiff -ljpeg -lz -lm -o makegeo
/usr/bin/ld: makegeo: hidden symbol `__stack_chk_fail_local' in /usr/
lib/libc_nonshared.a(stack_chk_fail_local.oS) is referenced by DSO
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [makegeo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/j0n/sources/xastir/tmp/
libgeotiff-1.2.3/bin'
make: *** [Progs] Error 2
from
http://nsnam.isi.edu/nsnam/index.php?title=Troubleshooting&printable=yes
it seems to be a compiler issue.
So I installed gcc-4.0 and edited the makefile to use gcc-4.0, but
its still give the same problem, I'll try dropping back another
version tomorrow.
Thats me done for tonight.
