ogc – Reloaded on Linux
August 4th, 2009
I wanted to compile ogc for Linux first thing in the morning. Went surprisingly smoothly with a few tricks:
- the target is called ogc, not ogc.exe
- I had to remove the \r characters from each end-of-line of the usage and version text file sources
- Installation to /usr/bin works only with the magic sudo command.
Later I added install, uninstall and clean rules, and prepared the makefile to run on both Linux and cygwin, detecting Windows from the presence of the SYSTEMROOT variable.
Finally I put it under revision control with git. But that’s another story.
