Sorry of my long absence in the discussion. I have been very busy by preparing our presentation for the upcoming Intergeo (starting aftertomorrow). The Intergeo is an international known GIS oriented fair, which takes part at Stuttgart this year. BTW: If somebody of this list has planned to visit the Intergeo I would be happy if he comes to our booth (B6.130) to know him personally :-) OK. Now back the the grass/gdal problem: Indeed the problem is that I need the grass development package for gdal to be build against grass. Otherwise we need gdal to build grass with general gdal support (i.e. with support for other raster and vector formats). So the build order is - create grass development libraries - build gdal - build grass Since I can not make gdal build depend on grass and grass build depend on gdal in the same time I only see one solution to get both pacakges in a clean way into debian: grass is splitted into two completely independent packages. The first one is just meant to build the development packages (libgrass-dev) and doesn't create any binary packages at all. The second one does build grass and libgrass. Disadvantage: - The grass src will be included twice in debian :-( Other suggestions? Am I overlooking something?
