[Bug] build: "ogr_srs_api.h: No such file or directory" and "cdefs.h syntax error" errors

[mshukuno]

Describe the bug

When I compile the project, I get an error fatal error: ogr_srs_api.h: No such file or directory. This issue was previously reported #1649 and it seemed resolved at that point. So, I am wondering if my configuration is to blame. I run the line below for configuration:

./configure --with-gdal=/usr/bin/gdal-config --with-geos=/usr/local/bin/geos-config --with-blas --with-lapack

Please let me know if this issue has anything to do with my configuration settings. If so, would you be so kind as to share with me what I need to change or add in order to solve this problem?

The cdefs.h. file also has errors as follwoing. This error was reported in ctypesgen, so I assume it is a known issue on Linux.

Despite having errors in the log, the compilation ends without errors. Do those not count as errors rather than warnings?

Expected behavior

• If the cause is not my configuration, the fatal error: ogr_srs_api.h: No such file or directory need to be resolved.
• I assume that errors will be reported at the end when there is one or more errors.
• It would be helpful to know at the end of the compilation log or website whether certain errors can be ignored. In this way, I won't have to wonder if my settings are to blame for the errors.

Just to make sure before searching too deeply, when you compiled, did you clean and rerun configure before? If there were some changes when updating your repo and some C/C++ (native) code or libraries aren't recompiled, there can be some weird errors.

I found the part of the code below from your comment.
Each new build I run as follwing:

sudo rm -r /usr/local/grass85
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/grass
cd {project root: grass}
make libsclean distclean clean
./configure --with-gdal=/usr/bin/gdal-config --with-geos=/usr/local/bin/geos-config --with-blas --with-lapack
make -j 6 > ../make_terminal.txt 2>&1
sudo make install

I also tried following just now. It is the same result.

sudo rm -f /usr/local/grass85
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/grass

git clone https://github.com/OSGeo/grass.git
cd grass
git rev-parse HEAD
make libsclean distclean clean
./configure --with-gdal=/usr/bin/gdal-config --with-geos=/usr/local/bin/geos-config --with-blas --with-lapack
make -j 6 > ../make_terminal.txt 2>&1
sudo make install

Ok, so it doesn't seem a user error, as you went the overkill way and removed everything and did a fresh clone.
