= Building GDAL/OGR Java Bindings on Linux/Unix =

Tested with gdal-1.5.2.

== Configure and Build GDAL ==

I found I had to configure GDAL --without-libtool to get the java bindings to build.

== Update java.opt ==

Replace gdal/swig/java/java.opt with an appropriate local version.  Make sure the windows backslashes are turned to forward slashes, and point to your local Java SDK.  The ANT_HOME isn't used on linux where it is apparently assumed ant will be in the path.
