undefined reference using libkml1.3.0 with gdal_trunk

[rashadkm]

gdal supports libkml driver only for libkml 1.3.0 which by the way is not released or tagged. The trunk version was considered as libkml 1.3.0. gdal.1.10.1 is not able to detect libkml1.3.0. But gdal-trunk detects this and compiles propoerly.

Everything is fine upto here: but getting link errors:

I guess it must be an issue with an unclean build. libkml detection hasn't changed between trunk and 1.10. Try with a clean tree.

[rashadkm]

I tried from a clean build but still I have got the same error. You could see the dashboard build here - ​http://dash.orfeo-toolbox.org/viewBuildError.php?buildid=145378

It doesnt give any issues with libkml1.2.0. But gdal trunk wont be having libkml driver with that version.

[Even Rouault]

Sorry, I'm confused by your report. No version of the libkml driver has ever worked with libkml 1.2.0 as far as I know, so no point in trying to build against it... Which combinations of GDAL versions and libkml version are you trying ? All recent versions of GDAL should be built against the latest svn (or git now) version of libkml

[rashadkm]

Ok. Sorry for the confusion. Svn up

When tried with libkml1.2.0, during configure it detects the headers but didnt built the libkml driver. This happens with trunk and 1.10.1 releases. From what you said I think this is normal as libkml1.3.0 is the only supported version.

I will try a fresh checkout of source of both gdal and libkml now and check on this error again.

[rashadkm]

This issue should be closed as the build is sucessful now. The issue was there was two libkml version 1.2 and 1.3.0 and gdal uses 1.3.0 and other library was using 1.20 which resulted in undefined references
