Re: [libredwg] [news] Autodesk and Open Design Alliance Reach Agreement for Autodesk DWG Trademarks

[address@hidden]

I have made my patches to franks code to remove the usage of ODA header files
http://github.com/h4ck3rm1k3/gdal_dxfdwg_no_oda/

it will compile and run (with no effect ) now against my IndirectDWG
address@hidden:h4ck3rm1k3/InDirectDWG.git

The stubs there are empty, but contain no code at all from any of the
original sources,
so the next step will be to fill them with code.

but it runs without crashing now.
gdb ./apps/.libs/ogr2ogr
r -f "DXF" test.dxf test.shp

I am considering now the options for libredwg integration.
