Resurrecting the OGR datastore

Reply Threaded

Hi all,
I'm starting to look into resurrecting the OGR datastore from
its limbo now that I'm based on Ubuntu.

The plan is to make it compile and build again and test it against
some of the stores we're abandoning (among others).

One thing that needs discussing is which version of OGR to use.
I think I'm stuck using the same version as the GDAL plugins,
given that GDAL and OGR cannot be separated.

ImageIO-ext is still using 1.4.5 whilst the latest stable
is 1.6.1.
I'm wondering if there are any upgrade plans and what the expected
timeframe might be.

The desire for being interested in the latest version is that
if I end up needing any change in the java binding api I can
push the patch back directly, whilst using older versions will
result in a patchset that needs to be maintained and applied
at each new release.

Cheers
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
what is the exact purpose of the ogr datastore? Reading ogr supported
data into featurecollections?

Thanks,
Andrea

Hmmm... it would seem the old version number is biting me on
Ubuntu Jaunty, I get a compile error which happens only
on gcc 4.3+ (Jaunty has 4.3.3) and apparently GDAL fixed it
in version 1.5.1, or so this Gentoo issue reports:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217876

I did try to build 1.5.4 and in fact it built without issues.

Maybe the imageio-ext people do have an extra patch, or they
just keep on building with older compilers?

Cheers

Hi Andrea,
sorry about the late reply.
Invoking a gcc -version on our Ubuntu (8.10) machine we get 4.3.2.
On 64 bit build, we have disabled the Ilwis driver which give us some errors (We have disabled being not actually supported by any imageio-ext plugin implementation).

Anyway, we are planning to move to new versions of GDAL (1.5.4 or 1.6.1).
Simone may give you additional details on this topic.

Regards,
Daniele
