Hi Frank et al,
Is there a way to install the ogrsf_frmts include files short of just
manually
copy the files. OpenGraphRouter is using some of these in C++ to create
geometries. Specifically:
ogrsf_frmts/shape/shapefil.h
ogrsf_frmts/kml/ogr_kml.h
and maybe some others. Since these are not normally installed, I'm
assuming
this is a bad thing that we are trying to use them and should look at
some
other way of defining our geometries because these are not intended as
public
api and are subject change.
Steve,
Well, these are essentially private include files and I'm not likely to
sanction installing them as part of the normal GDAL install.
I am not sure what you use out of ogr_kml.h but I will note there is
a public exporttoKML() method on OGRGeometry which you can use without
including ogr_kml.h. That doesn't handle the whole feature, but it does
handle the trickiest part.
Likewise I'm not sure why you use shapefil.h directly instead of managing
shapefiles through the OGR API. Perhaps that could be investigated.
Best regards,
Frank,
Thanks! I think we are on the same page with this stuff. I'll pass this
problem back to Ashraf and hopefully he can clean up the code and
dependencies.
I think that he needed some internal geometry representations and just
used these because they were handy. If he is moving this data through
OGR then we should be using only the OGR API. If this is just for our
own internal use then we should create private includes that meet our needs.
I just wanted to make sure I was not missing something.
Roni - please look into this. We should discuss this and make changes as
appropriate.
Thanks,
-Steve
