Dear developers, building and testing latest 2.1.0 RCx on cygwin enabling perl and python I hit some very curious build issues:
1) The configure requires that CXX is not defined for building the python swig system It seems a old issue not cygwin specific: http://www.michael-joost.de/gdal_install.html It is an annoy issue impacting I suspect most of the distribution build systems that usually predefine variables like CXX. I lost several hours to overcome the puzzling behavior of the build. 2) I tried to overcome #1 using in autogen.sh libtoolize --force --copy aclocal --force -I ./m4 but it results in a cripple libtool, totally unusable. Any hope for a full working autoreconf ? 3) On ogr/ogrct.cpp there is a strange assumption that shared lib will never be bumped #elif defined(__CYGWIN__) # define LIBNAME "cygproj-0.dll" unfortunately current one is /usr/bin/cygproj-9.dll and previous was already /usr/bin/cygproj-1.dll. Should be better to link with "-lproj" instead of assuming to know the library name ? I will need to rebuild the just released binary https://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2016-04/msg00062.html to correct the same mistake.
