Hi,

The "Build instructions" using CMAKE is old (according to Matthias). I have been trying to make it work but I couldn't (I really tried hard!).

After getting disappointed with CMAKE compilation, I went to try the Docker image. However, I have been trying to download the image from docker hub with no luck for about two month and more than 10 attempts. Since docker does not support a resume mechanism (which is a shame) and the image is fairly big (3.4GB) to download without a tiny disconnection. I couldn't download the image. So direct pull from docker is not really an option here.

So I really appreciate if someone could either update the "Build instructions" or pick one of the stable versions from docker hub save it (docker save ) and upload it somewhere on the internet.

I believe many others like me have this problem and can not really contribute to the project.

Regards, Iman

The best entry point for building (in docker but with much less download size) is looking at https://github.com/opengisch/OSGeo4A/blob/master/.github/workflows/docker.yml

If you could assemble build instructions from that, an updated readme would be much appreciated!
