I have started on the header files used by gdal/ogr to extract compatible headers that will be able to be compiled against gdal. Basically I am adding in the types only based on the usage, without referencing DirectDWG (which I have never seen) this is a perfectly legal way to create the header files.
Currently, it has only stubs and does not compile totaly, yet, but it is a start. github here : http://github.com/h4ck3rm1k3/InDirectDWG get the gdal svn cd /experiments/gdal/ svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/trunk/gdal see page here :http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadSource git clone g...@github.com:h4ck3rm1k3/InDirectDWG.git get the dxfdwg client code that we use as the indirect definition of the DirectDwg : cd /experiments/gdal/gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/ svn checkout http://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/spike/dxfdwg Configure in the root dir like this using my code as the dwgdirect. cd /experiments/gdal/gdal ./configure --with-dwgdirect=$PATHTO/libredwg make -C /experiments/gdal/gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/dxfdwg mike On Thu, May 6, 2010 at 7:36 AM, jamesmikedup...@googlemail.com < jamesmikedup...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Wow, > Libogr uses dwgdirect, now that is really worth working on. > > here are some I found : > http://code.google.com/p/gdal-kml/ > http://code.google.com/p/tf-net/ > > here is some sketchup plugin for dwg: > > http://download.sketchup.com/OnlineDoc/gsu_mac/K-Input_and_Output/Import_and_Export/IO-DWGDXFExport.htm > > I will start on gdal, I will build header files for all gdal/ogr usages of > dwgdirect and rebuild the header files from that. > > mike > > > On Thu, May 6, 2010 at 7:24 AM, jamesmikedup...@googlemail.com < > jamesmikedup...@googlemail.com> wrote: > >> Ok, >> lets make a list of all open source software the uses DWGDirect and I will >> compile based on that, an ersatz API that fits the function templates.
