[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#501127: gdal: BigTIFF support not enabled

[Sven Geggus]

Package: gdal
Version: 1.5.2-3
Severity: wishlist


The current Version of gdal does not support Tiff files >4GB
(BigTIFF). The reason for this is that gdal is compiled against the
systems Tiff library instead of the internal one provided by gdal. 

The problem can be solved easily by adding --with-libtiff=internal to
debian/rules and removing libtiff4-dev from Build-Depends.
