hello all,
I am trying to build Lidarview incl. GDAL, but the tag “-DPARAVIEW\_ENABLE\_GDAL=True” or “-DLIDARVIEW\_ENABLE\_GDAL=True” to build does not work. My system is a current Ubuntu 20.04.
I am new to building from source so I would appriciate your help.
Best regards,
Oliver

Hello,
GDAL is not currently a maintained part of LidarView’s dedicated superbuild, howerver it is part of Paraview’s Superbuild (See [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild)) and could potentially be used in the same manner.
This has not been tested, but if you wish to experiment yourself do as follow:
- Add this file [**projects/gdal.cmake**](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild/-/blob/master/projects/gdal.cmake) from ParaView’s Superbuild to LidarView’s Superbuild.
- Also add the corresponding patches to the LidarView’s patches directory.
- Add gdal to LidarView Superbuild’s top CMakeLists’ project list.
- Proceed with SuperBuild with Gdal enabled: “-DENABLE\_gdal=ON”.
If you are unfamilliar with the Superbuild I recommend you study the following [pieces of code](https://gitlab.kitware.com/search?search=gdal&group_id=14&project_id=10&scope=&search_code=true&snippets=false&repository_ref=master&nav_source=navbar) or reach us out for professional support.

thank you very much for the quick reply. I’ll try it out 🙂

Hi,
I added the file, copied the patches to the src/Superbuild/lidarview-superbuild/Projects/patches folder and added the gdal dependency to the CMakeLists.txt file in the src/Superbuild/lidarview-superbuild folder. Now I get the following error:

If I find a solution I will write it here, otherwise a big praise to the developers. The software runs really fast (using data from a HDL 64E S3).
