libgeotiff and proj runtime dependencies #22

Closed leamas closed 3 years ago

leamas commented 3 years ago

The plugin uses the system libgeotiff and proj runtime libraries. This leads to problems where users need to install various packages to make plugin work an all platforms besides windows.

The flatpak variant rebuilds these libs from sources. This makes it easier for users, which don't need to mess with installing packages besides libtiff which often is installed anyway.

We should try to rebuild these packages as part of the plugin in the same way as flatpak an other platforms.
