Question

consider dynamically linking libgdal

springmeyer opened this issue 12 years ago · 2 comments

Currently libgdal is used in two places in TileMill - in the Mapnik GDAL/OGR plugins and by node-srs. In each case the relevant code is statically linked - so each bit pulls in just what it needs of GDAL. But, we should consider distributing a single libgdal. One piece of making this work is tweaking the node-srs build scripts to work against this shared gdal, which is now done as per mapbox/node-srs#23

Saw this is going to be important to reduce overall app size, so planning on working on this in the coming weeks.
