Description

The standard spatialindex installation places its headers in a subfolder of $prefix/include, ie /usr/local/include/spatialindex/. The cmake FindSpatialitindex does not check for this, but I'm not sure if that is broken, as I am installing in a non-standard location.

But, qgsspatialindex.cpp also does not include from the subfolder. A leftover from when spatialindex was included in the source and didn't have the subfolder. Changing the qgsspatialindex.cpp include to:

#include <spatialindex/SpatialIndex.h>

fixes the include problem. The findspatialindex.cmake probably needs a similar fix.

History

#1 Updated by Jürgen Fischer almost 12 years ago

SPATIALINDEX_INCLUDE_DIR is the directory where SpatialIndex.h is, so FindSpatialindex.cmake should set it to /usr/local/include/spatialindex in your case - and #include "SpatialIndex.h" should work just fine.

Ah. But then spatialindex has a bug. I looked at all its internal headers included by spatialindex.h, and they are indeed local off the subfolder. Except Point.h, it causes the include error I saw with this:

#include <spatialindex/tools/Tools.h>

If you install spatialindex in a standard location like /usr/local you probably won't see an error because /usr/local/include will likely also be in your compile command.

So, invalid QGIS bug. Over to spatialindex folks...
