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

Thanks for the notes Simone.  I just began working on building the imageio-ext library on Mac.  I am installing MacPorts and such.  

One thing you probably know the answer to is whether you will need imageio-ext.jar that I will build, or you just need the gdal library and its dependencies.  If so, should I name the file imageio-ext-mac.jar, and do I need to modify the manifest file in anyway so that the OSGI loader will use it instead of the one for Windows.  Just out of curiosity really.  I figure if I just send you everything, you will be able to pick and choose and configure the way you need to.

Cheers,
Tawan
