This is a small post about upgrading to gdal 2.x on a Mac using homebrew.
Assumptions
- You have homebrew installed and setup.
- You already have gdal 1.x installed via homebrew's default 'gdal' formula.
Install gdal 2.x
Unlink gdal 1.x using
brew unlink gdal
Tap into osgeo4mac
brew tap osgeo/osgeo4mac && brew tap --repair
Install gdal2.
brew install gdal2 --with-armadillo \
--with-complete --with-libkml --with-unsupported
Link gdal2
brew link --force gdal2
Verify
$> gdal-config --version
2.1.1
$> gdal-config --libs
-L/usr/local/Cellar/gdal2/2.1.1/lib -lgdal
$> gdal-config --cflags
-I/usr/local/Cellar/gdal2/2.1.1/include
Post Install
If you are using R for geo-spatial stuff, be sure to reinstall the rgdal
library. Also you can now install sf in R using devtools::install_github('edzer/sfr')
.
