Description
Hi Folks, The liblas library in Ubuntu GIS is not compiled with the widely used laszip http://www.laszip.org/ compression library. Liblas looks for this library in /usr/local/laszip, but if you compile laszip , it throws the .hpp files into /usr/local directly. My workaround when compiling manually has been to create /usr/local/laszip and copy the library files into the directory.
Adding support for laszip compression in liblas would make it more generally useful.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
LASzip is not distributable because of the inclusion of the non-free Fast AC code, see:
I've given up on LASzip every getting its act together.
