Hi,
I was curious about the new gdal klmsuperoverlay driver
(frmts/kmlsuperoverlay). I have installed minizip, and ran make in
the frmts/kmlsuperoverlay folder, which resulted in a
kmlsuperoverlaydataset.o. Now what? How would I incorporate this
into my gdal lib, either internally or as a plugin? I tried to
search google to no avail, documentation (or my searching abilities)
appears to be a bit sparse...
No one?
Shamelessly bumping my own message with some more info:
I've tried creating a .so from the .o (gcc -shared
-Wl,-soname,kmlsuperoverlaydataset.so -o kmlsuperoverlaydataset.so
Vincent,
plugins have to have a filename of the form "gdal_<drivername>.so"
and the registration entry point for the driver in that .so has to be
of the form "GDALRegister_<drivername>". I see the registration entry
point is GDALRegister_KMLSUPEROVERLAY() so you should name the .so
gdal_KMLSUPEROVERLAY.so
Thanks Frank, works like a charm. Just renaming the file caused gdalinfo
--formats to report KMLSUPEROVERLAY as a supported driver.
I'll do some tests later to see if this driver is useful for me, and to
compare it to the gdal2tiles script.
Vincent.
I'll leave it up to Harsh Govind to answer questions about the driver
itself.
Best regards,
