[GPlates-discuss] GPlates compile error

[John Cannon]

Hi Greg,

I'll look into fixing this for the GPlates 2.0.1 bug-fix release (soon).

We currently use GDAL 1, but the latest Ubuntu, etc, use GDAL 2 which has deprecated some of their API that we are using.

Regards,
John

Hi all,

new to GPlates I tried to compile on a relatively new SUSE linux installation.  I think all the libraries are in place as needed, but the compile step failed at the 78% complete stage with the message copied below.  The problem seems to relate to a process from the GDAL library that may now be deprecated in src/file-io/OgrReader.cc

Any advice about whether a simple amendment is possible that would allow my compiler to pass this problem would be appreciated.

best regards

Greg Houseman
