'''See also my newer [[PostGIS]] page. I have GDAL build instructions there, too.'''


Latest gdal on Ubuntu is 1.7.3 so I am building 1.8.0 to get support for Geospatial PDF files.
'''WARNING: 06 Feb 2019
See http://www.gdal.org/frmt_pdf.html -- there are links to further documentation and sample GeoPDF's at the bottom of this page.
these instructions to build from git break right now because they updated to using PROJ 6
and this build uses PROJ 5
I will fix this soon.
'''


Downloaded RC2 tarball.
See also [[Building GDAL on Mac]].


This gets me what I need (there are many more options).
These are notes on how I have built GDAL to run on Linux systems.
Poppler is for PDF support
I do this to get the newest versions, and to add support for ESRI and MrSID files.
If you don't need these things, by all means ''use packages''. (apt-get or yum)
This is extra pain that you don't need.


  sudo apt-get install libproj-dev libpoppler-dev
Oh; if you don't know what GDAL ''is'', look at the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDAL Wikipedia entry].
  ./configure --with-python --with-poppler
 
== Using a Docker version ==
 
There are various builds on the Docker Hub, for example, https://hub.docker.com/r/geodata/gdal
It's a quick way to try out GDAL without having to install anything on your computer.
 
To download,
docker pull geodata/gdal
 
For version information,
docker run geodata/gdal
 
This one says it's GDAL 2.3.0dev. I am interested in vector support for PDF at the moment. The output says it has "PDF -raster,vector- (rw+vs): Geospatial PDF"
 
To test it with one of my files on the local hard drive,
 
docker run -v $(pwd):/data geodata/gdal gdalinfo project.pdf
 
docker run -v $(pwd):/data geodata/gdal ogrinfo project.pdf
INFO: Open of `project.pdf'
      using driver `PDF' successful.

  CREATION_DATE=D:20190110101503+05
  CREATOR=Esri ArcMap 10.3.0.4284

1: Layers_Other
2: Layers_Export_Output
3: Layers_ganges_river_t47
4: Layers_state
 
Now I want to pull some data out of the PDF and put it into another vector format, a shapefile for example:
 
docker run -v $(pwd):/data geodata/gdal ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" ganges.shp project.pdf Layers_ganges_river_t47
 
List all the layers in the PDF
gdalinfo CityMasterPlan.pdf -mdd LAYERS
 
This is not working yet...
ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" buildings.shp CityMasterPlan.pdf -oo GDAL_PDF_LAYERS="LAYER_037_NAME=ELU_PD_02_A1_pdf.Layers.2"
 
== Build prerequisites ==
 
  sudo apt-get install subversion git
sudo apt-get install swig python-dev
sudo apt-get install cmake-qt-gui make bison flex gcc g++ libtool
sudo apt-get install lib1g-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev liblcms2-dev liblcms2-utils
   
sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev libtiff4-dev
sudo apt-get install libspatialite-dev
 
You might also need, depending on how you install PostGIS
 
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
 
== OGDI support for VMAP ==
 
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_ogdi.html
 
sudo apt-get install ogdi-bin libogdi3.2-dev
 
== JPEG2000 ==
 
Options for JPEG2000 support include
 
* LizardTech MrSID SDK (--with-jp2mrsid) (costs money to use encoder)
* Jasper (--with-jasper)
* Kakadu (commercial license "if you have to ask...") http://www.kakadusoftware.com/
* OpenJPEG (--with-openjpeg)
 
Which is best?? Choose one
 
=== OpenJPEG ===
 
sudo apt-get -y install libopenjpeg-dev openjpeg-tools
 
=== Jasper ===
 
You want the Jasper from the remotesensing site, not the official one.
It has support for something called GeoJP2

NOTE 1: ''You won't be able to access FGDBs created before ArcGIS 10.0''<br>
NOTE 2: ''To get ESRI FGDB support requires gdal 1.9.0 or better''
 
I want to be able to script loading data from file geodatabases into postgis, as described in the GDAL page.
Refer to [http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_filegdb.html the GDAL FGDB driver page]
 
Agree to their terms and then download the file gdb API from the [http://www.esri.com/apps/products/download/ ESRI site].

  make
sudo cp ../lib/* /usr/local/lib
sudo ldconfig
=== Lizardtech MrSID raster files ===
Go to [http://developer.lizardtech.com/ the Lizardtech developer site], sign up, and download the DSDK. Unpack it in a convenient place then tell gdal configure where to find it. You don't need to install anything unless you want to use their utilities.
== 2019-Jan-24 GDAL build ==
I generally build GDAL from sources so that I can add the non-standard parts such as MRSID support.
(Regarding Geospatial PDF, see http://www.gdal.org/frmt_pdf.html -- there are links to further documentation and sample GeoPDF's at the bottom of this page.)
=== GEOS ===
'''libgeos''' is not optional. I prefer to build the latest as it is updated far more often than the repostory version.
When I had the free commercial MrSID tools installed, I had some trouble because the GDAL build kept seeing the bundled libraries. MrSID uses GEOS, too, but an outdated version. Make sure your environment is not set to expose the old library to the whole system.
wget http://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-3.7.1.tar.bz2

Building gdal 1.7.3 so I can have gdal python bindings, so I can reclassify a raster. In another window, I am running a very simple ESRI Spatial Analyst reclassification, but it's taking so long that I can probably build gdal and write a python script to do the same thing before the ESRI tool completes.
...all the right stuff!


(I assume the ESRI tool crashed but as usual, I have no way of knowing.)
Now back to the real work of [[Mapping Vietnam]] or building [[Xastir]].


I had to add C++ to my system. Compiling.


Oh -- gdal built successfully. Installing it. Done. Updated system path.


Trying to build Python bindings now, what a pain! In the meantime, I clicked "cancel" button, perhaps in a few hours I will know if ArcMap crashed or not. (See comment above about failure of cancel button to cancel...)

Latest revision as of 06:48, 7 February 2019

See also my newer PostGIS page. I have GDAL build instructions there, too.

WARNING: 06 Feb 2019 these instructions to build from git break right now because they updated to using PROJ 6 and this build uses PROJ 5 I will fix this soon.

See also Building GDAL on Mac.

These are notes on how I have built GDAL to run on Linux systems. I do this to get the newest versions, and to add support for ESRI and MrSID files. If you don't need these things, by all means use packages. (apt-get or yum) This is extra pain that you don't need.

Oh; if you don't know what GDAL is, look at the Wikipedia entry.

Using a Docker version

There are various builds on the Docker Hub, for example, https://hub.docker.com/r/geodata/gdal It's a quick way to try out GDAL without having to install anything on your computer.

To download, 

docker pull geodata/gdal

For version information, 

docker run geodata/gdal

This one says it's GDAL 2.3.0dev. I am interested in vector support for PDF at the moment. The output says it has "PDF -raster,vector- (rw+vs): Geospatial PDF"

To test it with one of my files on the local hard drive,

docker run -v $(pwd):/data geodata/gdal gdalinfo project.pdf

docker run -v $(pwd):/data geodata/gdal ogrinfo project.pdf INFO: Open of `project.pdf' 

     using driver `PDF' successful.

Build prerequisites

sudo apt-get install subversion git
sudo apt-get install swig python-dev
sudo apt-get install cmake-qt-gui make bison flex gcc g++ libtool
sudo apt-get install lib1g-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev liblcms2-dev liblcms2-utils

sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev libtiff4-dev
sudo apt-get install libspatialite-dev

You might also need, depending on how you install PostGIS 

sudo apt-get install libpq-dev

OGDI support for VMAP

http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_ogdi.html 

sudo apt-get install ogdi-bin libogdi3.2-dev

JPEG2000

Options for JPEG2000 support include

  • LizardTech MrSID SDK (--with-jp2mrsid) (costs money to use encoder)
  • Jasper (--with-jasper)
  • Kakadu (commercial license "if you have to ask...") http://www.kakadusoftware.com/
  • OpenJPEG (--with-openjpeg)

Which is best?? Choose one

OpenJPEG

sudo apt-get -y install libopenjpeg-dev openjpeg-tools

Jasper

You want the Jasper from the remotesensing site, not the official one. It has support for something called GeoJP2

ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/gdal/

Building gdal on my 64-bit Debian system required this 

cd jasper src dir
export CFLAGS="-fPIC -m64"
./configure
make; sudo make install
unset CFLAGS
sudo ldconfig

Non-free support

ESRI file geodatabases

NOTE 1: You won't be able to access FGDBs created before ArcGIS 10.0
NOTE 2: To get ESRI FGDB support requires gdal 1.9.0 or better

I want to be able to script loading data from file geodatabases into postgis, as described in the GDAL page. Refer to the GDAL FGDB driver page

Agree to their terms and then download the file gdb API from the ESRI site.

Here you will find build instructions.

I put the lib*so files in /usr/local/lib 

cd FileGDB_API
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`/lib
cd samples
make
sudo cp ../lib/* /usr/local/lib
sudo ldconfig

Lizardtech MrSID raster files

Go to the Lizardtech developer site, sign up, and download the DSDK. Unpack it in a convenient place then tell gdal configure where to find it. You don't need to install anything unless you want to use their utilities.

2019-Jan-24 GDAL build

I generally build GDAL from sources so that I can add the non-standard parts such as MRSID support. (Regarding Geospatial PDF, see http://www.gdal.org/frmt_pdf.html -- there are links to further documentation and sample GeoPDF's at the bottom of this page.)

GEOS

libgeos is not optional. I prefer to build the latest as it is updated far more often than the repostory version.

When I had the free commercial MrSID tools installed, I had some trouble because the GDAL build kept seeing the bundled libraries. MrSID uses GEOS, too, but an outdated version. Make sure your environment is not set to expose the old library to the whole system. 

wget http://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-3.7.1.tar.bz2
tar xjf geos*bz2
cd geos*
./configure --enable-python
make -j 8
sudo make install
cd ..

Supporting actors

You can install these if you need support for other less common formats.

PDF support

Poppler is for PDF support, see also PoDoFo 

# UBUNTU and current Debian -- First install required prerequisite packages
sudo apt-get -y install libproj-dev libpoppler-dev libpoppler-private-dev

MrSID support

I just tell GDAL where to find the library in the MrSID directory.

Spatialite 

sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
wget http://www.gaia-gis.it/gaia-sins/libspatialite-sources/libspatialite-4.3.0.tar.gz
tar xzvf libspatialite*gz
cd libspatialite-*
./configure --enable-freexl=no
make -j 8
sudo make install

Building GDAL (finally!)

I grab the source code directly from the github repository. 

 git clone https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal

I put together a script called CONFIG.gdal with one of the following configure lines in it.

On good days I use this, it has ESRI and MrSID installed. 

./configure --with-python --with-poppler=yes \
--with-geos --with-geotiff --with-jpeg --with-png --with-expat --with-libkml --with-xerces-c \
--with-mrsid=$HOME/src/GIS/MrSID/Raster_DSDK \
--with-fgdb=$HOME/src/GIS/FileGDB_API \
--with-openjpeg --with-geos --with-pg \
--with-curl \
--with-spatialite \
--with-expat

On bad days 03-04-13 it won't build right now so I cut a bunch of unneeded stuff out and finally got it to build with this. I don't know exactly why it won't build with all the formats above but I don't really care enough to investigate because what I am doing is trying to get to the point where I can build QGIS from source. I know ogdi and openjpeg were causing problems for me. I had to set to "no" to stop them from being included. Leaving it off the list was not enough. 

./configure --with-python --with-poppler=no \
--with-geos --with-geotiff --with-jpeg --with-png \
--with-mrsid=$HOME/src/GIS/MrSID/Raster_DSDK --with-fgdb=$HOME/src/GIS/FileGDB_API \
--with-openjpeg=no --with-pg --with-ogdi=no --with-curl

OR on my public server I use this, where I don't need as much support for different file formats 

./configure --with-python --with-poppler=yes \
--with-openjpeg --with-geos \
--with-ogdi

OR at Alsea Geospatial I used this 

./configure --with-python --with-poppler --with-pg --with-curl --with-openjpeg \
 --with-geos --with-geotiff --with-jpeg --with-png --with-expat --with-libkml --with-xerces-c \
 --with-mrsid=$HOME/src/GIS/MrSID/Raster_DSDK \
 --with-java=/opt/oracle/jdk1.7.0_09 --with-fgdb=$HOME/src/GIS/FileGDB_API \
 --with-mdb

After configuring successfully (all the formats you need say YES) then do the build and install. Take a break, it takes a long time even giving it 10 CPU's. 

make -j 10
sudo make install

Does it work? Quick test
