Support BigTIFF format in GDAL

Port: gdal

Description

When built with internal libtiff or with libtiff >= 4.0, GDAL supports reading and writing BigTIFF files as described here: http://www.gdal.org/frmt_gtiff.html

GDAL in macports is currently 1.6.2 and the internal libtiff has been at version 4 since GDAL 1.5.0. The current libtiff in macports is 3.9.1 so the easiest way to support BigTIFF is to compile GDAL with the --with-libtiff=internal and --with-geotiff=internal options.

If libtiff was updated, would that solve the problem as well? I prefer that solution if only to keep a system's number of installed tiff libraries down. But I could be convinced...

I have verified that this works by creating a variant for my 1.7.0b1 version of this Port:

variant bigtiff description {Enable bigtiff support.} {

configure.args-delete --with-libtiff=${prefix} --with-geotiff=${prefix} configure.args-append --with-libtiff=internal --with-geotiff=internal

}

gdal 1.7.0 is about 100x faster in manipulating huge tiff images it is due any time now.

The tiff port is not going to be updated to 4.x until there is a stable release. It's currently still in beta.

Why wait if a variant adds BigTIFF support now? I am patching my Portfile with every release.

# BIGTIFF SUPPORT
variant bigtiff description {Enable bigtiff support.} {
	configure.args-delete	--with-libtiff=${prefix} --with-geotiff=${prefix}
	configure.args-append	--with-libtiff=internal --with-geotiff=internal
}

This port is no longer maintained. See #44038.

I suppose this was fixed long ago:

Air > port installed | grep tiff
  libgeotiff @1.4.0_2 (active)
  tiff @4.0.3_4 (active)
