#1008 closed enhancement (fixed)

Allow our internal GDAL to be built with additional driver support and features on Linux

Description

Currently, our internal thirdparty GDAL is always built with a fixed set of supported drivers and features irrespective of what external libraries are available to us.

However, when we build FDO, we are building providers that require libs that can also be supplied to the GDAL build, such as:

  • PostgreSQL
  • MySQL/MariaDB

Right now the current internal GDAL build script is not set up to take advantage of these extra libraries.

The Thirdparty/gdal/build.sh should be modified to allow enabling extra features when calling the ./configure script. This could be something as simple as an override environment variable for the ./configure script invocation.
