Hi all,
The MODIS package uses gdalwarp to process MODIS data. Previously it called
gdalwarp via system(), however, it recently switched to using the function
sf::gdal_utils() to access gdalwarp, which is more portable and avoids users
having to install GDAL on their system. The catch is that HDF4 support is
required for processing MODIS data. The Windows sf binaries already come with
HDF4 support for GDAL, however, the Mac OS binaries do not, which makes the
MODIS package unusable on Mac unless sf is compiled from source, which is
challenging. More context on this issue is available here:
https://github.com/MatMatt/MODIS/issues/78
In the above GH issue, Tim Salabim suggested this listserv would be a good
place to connect with someone that could get HDF4 support into the Mac OS
binaries. Any suggestions for how to proceed would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Matt
