Compile PostgreGIS (GDAL) on Solaris 11 (11.3)

Before you install PostGIS you will need to install some of the requirements.

GDAL. is a translator library for raster and vector geospatial data format.

# pkg install developer/gcc-45 build/gnu-make
# pkg install libtool automake autoconf gnu-gettext library/libxml2 library/json-c # export PATH=/usr/gcc/4.5/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/lib:/usr/gnu/bin:

# unzip -q gdal210.zip
# cd gdal-2.1.0

Fix for version 2.1.0: MRF: rename CS variable so as to avoid build failure on Solaris 11

# vi frmts/mrf/marfa_dataset.cpp
        if (!source.empty()) {
1072            CPLXMLNode *CS = CPLCreateXMLNode(config, CXT_Element, "CachedSource");
1072            CPLXMLNode *psCachedSource = CPLCreateXMLNode(config, CXT_Element, "CachedSource");
1073            // Should wrap the string in CDATA, in case it is XML
1074            CPLXMLNode *S = CPLCreateXMLElementAndValue(CS, "Source", source);
1074            CPLXMLNode *psSource = CPLCreateXMLElementAndValue(psCachedSource, "Source", source);
1075            if (clonedSource)
1076                CPLSetXMLValue(S, "#clone", "true");
1076                CPLSetXMLValue(psSource, "#clone", "true");
1077            }
