Add geographiclib-tools to list of dependencies #331

Open nstarke opened 9 years ago

nstarke commented 9 years ago

GeoQ uses GeoConvert under the hood for performing certain GeoSpatial operations (See Issue #25). It might make sense to add geographiclib-tools to the installation instructions in the README.md:

% sudo apt-get build-dep python-psycopg2

to

% sudo apt-get build-dep python-psycopg2 geographiclib-tools

Thanks Nick. Yes, it definitely would be good to add this dependency. I know one issue we had was that there didn't seem to be a version of geographiclib-tools for every platform, but that may have changed since I last looked (quite a while ago)

I would be happy to verify the library across distributions. What distributions would be necessary to include this in the README? Ubuntu/debian, RHEL/CentOS/Fedora? Any others?

Those would definitely be the main ones -- could probably add FreeBSD to the first group. I like SUSE, but not sure how much it's used. Not sure we'd have to go beyond that

Tested on FreeBSD-10.1:

pkg which `which GeoConvert`
/usr/local/bin/GeoConvert was installed by package geographiclib-1.41

Please let me know if you would like additional validations or more information on these.
