Pre-processing problems

[Jan-Oliver Wagner]

Hello Johan,

Since you are on a RedHat GNU/Linux, you might simply want
to use the RPM packages of shapelib and gen2shp:

The full story on the FreeGIS CD is here:

Else the following hints might help:

You usually specify the include path in the Makefile like this:
CFLAGS=-I /home/johan/Greater/Preproc/shapelib-1.2.9
You then do not need to change the actual source code.

Same here: You need to specify where to find the libshp.la
and adapt the CFLAGS.
Maybe this works four your setup:
CFLAGS=-I /home/johan/Greater/Preproc/shapelib-1.2.9 -L /home/johan/Greater/Preproc/shapelib-1.2.9
but this is just a guess - you should find out yourself the correct path.

Hope this helps
