Description of problem: doesnt provide shared libs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hdf-devel-4.2r1-11 How reproducible: - Steps to Reproduce: 1.- Actual results: - Expected results: - Additional info: Please update library to ship shared libs too. This block bug 222042, gdal cannot be builded.
gdal should be buildable with static or share libs. I don't think it is wise to ship shared libs when upstream don't, since the soname upstream chose may be different. In other words, if you want shared libs support in HDF4 you should talk to upstream and ask them.
I see no idication that gdal cannot be built against statics libs.
ok. workarounded gdal.
Hi Orion, new release which seems like support for shared libs is out. Please have a look here: ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/HDF/HDF_Current/src/RELEASE-4.2r4.txt Read it all, it's some Fedora hints there.
Two big problems: - C and Fortran in the same library. Adds a dependency on libgfortran for all users of libdf. - Install uses rpaths. Very hard to strip out. Still will wait until these are fixed upstream.
Ok, I see, reopen the bug to watch it?
I'd rather not. It will happen if/when upstream deals with it.
