FreeBSD-4.11: gdal-1.3.1 stops if latest geos is installed (possible workaround)

[Benjamin Thelen]

Sorry, for cross-posting!


Hello,

Compiling gdal-1.3.1 on FreeBSD-4.11 breaks, if also geos-2.2.1 is 
installed.  The compiling output can be found at the end of this mail.

I found out that besides compiling "--without-geos" of course, using 
gcc-3.4 instead of gcc-2.95 does the trick, too.

I did change the ports Makefile either like this


.if ${OSVERSION} < 500000
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--without-pcraster
USE_GCC=        3.4+
.endif


or like this:


.if ${OSVERSION} < 500000
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--without-pcraster --without-geos
.endif



But, using gcc-3.4 may have concequences I cannot evaluate.
For example, it is then required to build UMN-MapServer 4.8.3 (not from 
ports) with gcc-3.4, too, otherwise compiling UMN-MapServer breaks. But 
doing so leads to this warning:

.
.
.
/usr/libexec/elf/ld: warning: libstdc++.so.3, needed by
/usr/local/lib/libgdal.so, may conflict with libstdc++.so.6


What are the possible consequences if I ignore this warning?

Will there be a chance to build gdal with geos using gcc-2.95 or is it 
just time to move from FreeBSD-4 to 6?



Best Regards,
Ben

OS: FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE-p13
geos: 2.2.1 (from ports)
gdal: 1.3.1 (from ports) - tested 1.3.2, too
