Cannot build gdal 2.1 with filegdb support on linux

[d7rk]

Build fails (makepkg -src) on manjaro linux after numerous returns of the type:

/home/XXX/tmp/pacaurtmp-XXX/gdal/src/gdal-2.1.0/.libs/libgdal.so: undefined reference to `FileGDBAPI::Geodatabase::Delete(std::__cxx11::basic_string<wchar_t, std::char_traits<wchar_t>, std::allocator<wchar_t> > const&, std::__cxx11::basic_string<wchar_t, std::char_traits<wchar_t>, std::allocator<wchar_t> > const&)'

etc.

I assume you use a recent GCC that enables the new libstdc++ C++11 ABI (​https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/using_dual_abi.html), whereas the FileGDB binaries are built with the older one

You can try rebuilding after configuring with: CXXFLAGS="-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0" ./configure [other_options]

But you might have issues if using C++ gdal dependencies built with the new ABI, or if using GDAL in a C++ software built with the new ABI. No perfect solution exists until ESRI releases a new binary.

If you just need read-only support, the builtin OpenFileGDB driver should be good enough.

Sadly gdal does not build with the flag provided. The same errors are obtained.

[Even Rouault]

did you run "make clean" before rebuilding with the new flags ? if not, try it.

[d7rk]

You were right! It does work.
Sorry for my mistake and thank you so much for your time.
Best regards,
