gdal 2.3.2 fails to build frmts/pdf and frmts/openjpeg with missing definition of LD_SHARED in GNUmakefile.

I am trying to build gdal 2.3.2 from source, using the official Arch Linux package (http://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/gdal/) as a recipe, but changing ./configure-options.

When the build process reaches frmts/pdf or frmts/openjpeg, the build fails on make plugin, missing a definition of the variable LD_SHARED.

Example: Executing make plugin in frmts/openjpeg, prints the following to the terminal:

The corresponding lines of the GNUmakefiles in these directories are:

For frmts/pdf/GNUmakefile:

include ../../GDALmake.opt

OBJ     =       pdfdataset.o pdfio.o pdfobject.o pdfcreatecopy.o ogrpdflayer.o pdfwritabledataset.o pdfreadvectors.o

[...]

plugin: $(PLUGIN_DL)

$(PLUGIN_DL):  $(OBJ)
        $(LD_SHARED) $(OBJ) ../../ogr/ogrsf_frmts/o/ogrmemdatasource.o ../../ogr/ogrsf_frmts/o/ogrmemdriver.o ../../ogr/ogrsf_frmts/o/ogrmemlayer.o $(LDFLAGS) $(CONFIG_LIBS) -o $(PLUGIN_DL) $(PDFIUM_PLUGIN_LIB) $(POPPLER_PLUGIN_LIB) $(PODOFO_PLUGIN_LIB)

(The full frmts/pdf/GNUmakefile I have uploaded there: http://ix.io/1GvT)

frmts/openjpeg/GNUmakefile is:


include ../../GDALmake.opt

OBJ     =       openjpegdataset.o

CPPFLAGS        :=       -I.. $(CPPFLAGS)

default:        $(OBJ:.o=.$(OBJ_EXT))

clean:
        rm -f $(OBJ) $(O_OBJ) *.so *.lo

install-obj:    $(O_OBJ:.o=.$(OBJ_EXT))

PLUGIN_SO = gdal_JP2OpenJPEG.so

plugin: $(PLUGIN_SO)

$(PLUGIN_SO): $(OBJ)
        $(LD_SHARED) $(LNK_FLAGS) $(OBJ) $(CONFIG_LIBS_INS) $(LIBS) \
        -o $(PLUGIN_SO)

The GDALmake.opt, which is included by the frmts/*/GNUmakefiles, contains a statement

LD_SHARED       =

and does not try to set LD_SHARED somewhere else. The complete GDALmake.opt I have uploaded there: http://ix.io/1GvU

It seems that LD_SHARED is not set, and so make plugin tries to execute the command $(OBJ) ../../ogr/ogrsf_frmts/o/ogrmemdatasource.o ../../ogr/ogrsf_frmts/o/ogrmemdriver.o ../../ogr/ogrsf_frmts/o/ogrmemlayer.o $(LDFLAGS) $(CONFIG_LIBS) -o $(PLUGIN_DL) $(PDFIUM_PLUGIN_LIB) $(POPPLER_PLUGIN_LIB) $(PODOFO_PLUGIN_LIB), which obviously will fail, since the first element in $(OBJ) is not an executable.

Here more detailed information about how I go about:

I am working on Arch/ Artix Linux.

I use the following steps to build gdal, in this order (taken from the official Arch Linux package's PKGBUILD http://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/gdal/):

For a clean environment, I set CFLAGS='' CXXFLAGS='' LDFLAGS=''
downloading and extracting https://download.osgeo.org/gdal/2.3.2/gdal-2.3.2.tar.xz
downloading patches:
- gdal-poppler-0.69.0.patch: https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/commit/69e0701253.patch
- gdal-perl-vendor.patch: http://ix.io/1GvP
- gdal-poppler-0.75.patch: http://ix.io/1GvQ
Applying fixes and patches, in this order, commands carried out from within the source directory of extraction:
- Fix build with poppler >= 0.69.0 patch -Np2 -i ../gdal-poppler-0.69.0.patch
- Fix build with poppler 0.72 find frmts/pdf -type f | xargs sed -e 's|GBool|bool|g' -e 's|gFalse|false|g' -e 's|getCString|c_str|g' -i
- Fix build with poppler 0.73 sed -e 's|#include <goo/gtypes.h>|typedef unsigned char Guchar;|' -i frmts/pdf/pdfsdk_headers.h
- Fix build with poppler 0.75 patch -p2 -i ../gdal-poppler-0.75.patch
- Fix mandir sed -i "s|^mandir=.*|mandir='\${prefix}/share/man'|" configure
- Fix Perl bindings installation path patch -Np1 -i ../gdal-perl-vendor.patch (Up to here, I have changed nothing from the official Arch Linux package.)

The output of this configure step (combined stdout and stderr) is attached as configure.log. Additionally, ./configure createad a config.log. It is also attached.

Trying to compile: make will eventually fail. Errorneous terminal output from frmts/openjpeg I have given above. configure.log config.log
