-soname should not be used for OS X build #6

Closed elfprince13 closed 8 years ago

elfprince13 commented 8 years ago

The readme claims that the Makefiles should work for Mac builds; however, the -soname flag is incorrect for creating dynamic libraries on OS X.

See https://github.com/arsf/LAStools/blob/master/LASlib/src/Makefile#L36

Thanks for pointing this out. This is a fork of the official version of LAStools (https://github.com/LAStools/LAStools) with so will inherit the readme from this. It has mainly been tested under Linux. Unless you need to use the ARSF fork (e.g., to build ARSF software such as LAG) we recommend using the official version. Although as Martin points out here this doesn't build dynamic libraries.

Have added a new readme clarifying this fork is for NERC-ARF-DAN Linux systems or for building LAG against (currently Linux only).

Closing as an issue has been opened on the official version of LAStools - although it doesn't look like there are plans to add building dynamic libraries on OS X or Linux.
