Hi
d
I usually build gdal with a fully (autodetected) support to these
dependencies (most installed for testing the slackbuild of other
packages that depends on gdal, such as pdal, saga-gis, OTB, qgis, and a
my own slackbuild (not included in SBo) for GPlates, a cute graphical 3D
application that shows the dynamics of tectonic plates
The order of builds/installations is
libecwj2 (*) > xerces-c > postgresql > proj > freexl > geos > SFCGAL >
hdf5 > netcdf > libkml > gdal >TauDEM > postgis > OpenSceneGraph > pdal
> OTB > (libspatialite) > saga-gis > qgis
(*) this is an old library supported by gdal that extends the support to
ECW/Jpeg2000 proprietary formats in qgis
I'm not sure if I understood. I find useful the default enabling by the
cmake settings of gdal because they work fine: all optional dependencies
are well autodetected and their installations do not cause issues
usually. IMHO it should be a good idea to keep the enabling by default
and/or leave the user the option to disable them if are installed but
not requested
