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.

JAVA_HOME = /home/warmerda/pkg/jdk1.6.0_10
#ANT_HOME=c:\programmi\apache-ant-1.7.0
JAVADOC=$(JAVA_HOME)/bin/javadoc
JAVAC=$(JAVA_HOME)/bin/javac
JAVA=$(JAVA_HOME)/bin/java
JAR=$(JAVA_HOME)/bin/jar
JAVA_INCLUDE=-I$(JAVA_HOME)/include -I$(JAVA_HOME)/include/linux
