fedora 15 qgis notes
08 August 2011 - Fairbanks
This is a follow up post to my Installing QGIS from git on Fedora with the additional details/changes needed for Fedora 15.
dependencies
The old dependencies line almost is good enough but a few tweaks are needed. The follow up line:
yum install sqlite-devel # sqlite3-devel gonecompiling
Fedora 15’s cmake is a bit different than Fedora 14s. Changed up from the menu system to fully command line parameter passing for this one. For some reason the cmake .. was returning /libgdal.so instead of /usr/lib64/libgdal.so as it should have for yum installed gdal. Fortunately you can easily tell cmake corrected GDAL_LIBRARY:STRING variable.
mkdir ~/qgis # changed up install location
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=${HOME}/qgis -DGDAL_LIBRARY:STRING=/usr/lib64/libgdal.so ..
cmake -L # check out what it will be doing
make
make installfollow up
Gnome 3 did not please me. I fixed that with:
@sudo yum groupinstall Xfce@
The libtiff library still does not support BigTIFF format (since libtiff-4 is still labeled beta). This meant that I have already (3 days) abandoned the yum installed gdal, proj, libtiff, and partners in favor of the GINA recipe.
