I'm not sure if you're looking for contributions on this repository, but I was touring the code and thought that the build process could use some automation with respect to searching for the dependencies. This pull request converts the
Makefile
to a GNUautoconf
-compatibleMakefile.in
template. Using this, the include and lib paths can be easily sourced from environment variables during configuration or from thegdal-config
binary residing in the user's path.A new developer can simply run
autoconf
,configure
andmake
to complete the build process:The commit in this branch:
configure.ac
scriptMakefiles
toMakefile.in
templatesREADME
to specify WJElement as a dependency
