[Pkg-grass-general] OGDI driver for GDAL's OGR?

[Hamish <hamish_nospam@yahoo.com>]

Hi,


In order to load Digital Chart of the World (VMAP0) data with OGR
(vector end of the GDAL package), OGR (ie GDAL) needs to be built
--with-ogdi, which of course needs OGDI to be built first (and that
depends in turn on PROJ.4).

OGDI is yet another Frank Warmerdam production.


see:

Vmap0

Any chance of getting this built in?
Does it need to be in a new package?


Ultimate goal is to load Vmap0 vector data into GRASS with v.in.ogr
without having to recompile everything.



thanks,
Hamish
