[vox-tech] (Moved from [vox]) Errors in software compilation

[Bill Kendrick]

Hi Dylan.  This kind of question actually belongs over here on vox-tech,
so I've replied here, instead of plain 'vox'...

On your Sarge box, do you have "cpl_port.h" and/or "cpl_error.h" anywhere
else, besides the 'gdal' build directory?

The command invoked above was simply "g++ -c -o ...".
There were no -I include path directives given.
Is this different than on your Sarge box?

Also, can you tell (by examining the entire "make" sequence up to this
point) whether Make had dove into the "port/" subdirectory?  If it was
compiling something in the directory above (or some other subdirectory),
then it almost certainly wouldn't be able to find the "cpl_port.h" header.

Sorry I can't help more!
