(I'm building with autoconf.) 1) It builds fine on NetBSD 10 amd64, using an old pkgsrc workaround/?? to explicitly build only the libs (that may well be no longer relevant):
# \todo Explain why we don't install what shapelib installs. # \todo Perhaps file a bug upstream that the bin programs are not namespaced. BUILD_TARGET= libshp.la INSTALL_TARGET= install-libLTLIBRARIES install-libshp_la_includeHEADERS install-pkgconfigDATA 2) The tests all fail because they have #! lines with /bin/bash. While it could document a dependency on bash, and then find bash with configure and substitute it, that all seems quite avoidable as I don't see anything in the test scripts that really need non-POSIX sh features. With the bash problem worked around, most tests pass, except FAIL: tests/shpproj.sh ====================== ../test-driver: ./tests/shpproj.sh: not found FAIL tests/shpproj.sh (exit status: 127) and I don't see that in the tarball, so I'm guessing that isn't a problem only I am seeing. shapelib doesn't depend on proj, so perhaps there needs to be documentation of tests dependencies? 3) pkgsrc used to have this marked MAKE_JOBS_SAFE=no meaning "don't allow -jN to make", without a comment. I don't see why this would be true so I'm going to remove that, but am mentioning it in case someone else thinks it is needed. 4) I undid the kludge in 1, and I get a failure to build, because make fires the rule for one of the programs first, and libshp.la isn't built yet. Running again with gmake instead, it builds. So there's something wrong, but I suspect it's wiser to work around this by documenting that GNU Make is required. 5) There are a surprisingly large number of programs in bin. The pkgsrc package didn't used to install them, but they look like that likely won't conflict with other pacakges.. Do you think users of shapelib expect all of these to be installed? bin/Shape_PointInPoly bin/csv2shp bin/dbfadd bin/dbfcat bin/dbfcreate bin/dbfdump bin/dbfinfo bin/shpadd bin/shpcat bin/shpcentrd bin/shpcreate bin/shpdata bin/shpdump bin/shpdxf bin/shpfix bin/shpinfo bin/shprewind bin/shpsort bin/shptreedump bin/shputils bin/shpwkb _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
