Re: [udig-devel] uDig-1.2-RC2 on OS X 10.6 missing GDAL Bindings? Yes...

[Tawan Banchuen <t.banchuen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jody,

So basically, you will disable the gdal library on Mac.  I think that will be helpful, especially if unsupported format files will not show up in the file chooser.  I, for one, will be less frustrated.  We should note that in the release note though.  Some Mac users may expect these formats to be supported by uDig. 

I am all for sorting out what we need to put in the built to support gdal for Mac.
