The GDAL build is mostly straightforward. GRASS support is a tricky bit, but easily solved - use a separate plugin.

First up, a patch.

To use the system iODBC instead of needing to build a separate UnixODBC.

Edit configure.

Change all occurrences of "-lodbc" with "-liodbc" (case sensitive, not whole words).

Edit port/cpl_odbc.h. Change the odbcinst include to:

#include <iodbcinst.h>

In the GDAL source:

export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6
export ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64"
./configure --with-threads --disable-static --without-grass --with-jasper=/usr/local \
--with-libtiff=/usr/local --with-jpeg=/usr/local --with-gif=/usr/local --with-png=/usr/local \
--with-geotiff=/usr/local --with-sqlite3=/usr --with-odbc \
--with-geos=/usr/local/bin/geos-config --with-static-proj4=/usr/local --with-expat=/usr/local \
--with-xerces --with-xerces-inc=/usr/local/include --with-pcraster=internal \
--with-xerces-lib="-L/usr/local/lib -lxerces-c -framework CoreServices" --with-curl --with-python \
--with-macosx-framework CFLAGS="-Os -arch i386 -arch x86_64" \
CXXFLAGS="-Os -arch i386 -arch x86_64" \
LDFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64"

If you installed any of these optional packages, add to the configure line:

add at end:

#undef SIZEOF_LONG
#undef SIZEOF_UNSIGNED_LONG
#undef SIZEOF_VOIDP
#ifdef __LP64__
#define SIZEOF_LONG 8
#define SIZEOF_UNSIGNED_LONG 8
#define SIZEOF_VOIDP 8
#else

#define SIZEOF_VOIDP 4
#endif
#undef VSI_STAT64
#undef VSI_STAT64_T
#define VSI_STAT64 stat
#define VSI_STAT64_T stat

Then finish:

make
sudo make install

To build using the frameworks, change the following options as given:

--with-jasper=/Library/Frameworks/UnixImageIO.framework/unix \
--with-libtiff=/Library/Frameworks/UnixImageIO.framework/unix \
--with-jpeg=/Library/Frameworks/UnixImageIO.framework/unix \
--with-gif=/Library/Frameworks/UnixImageIO.framework/unix \
--with-png=/Library/Frameworks/UnixImageIO.framework/unix \
--with-sqlite3=/Library/Frameworks/SQLite3.framework/unix \
--with-geos=/Library/Frameworks/GEOS.framework/Programs/geos-config \
--with-static-proj4=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/unix \

GRASS support must be done as a plugin. This is so that GRASS itself (needed by the plugin) can be compiled after GDAL (needed by GRASS). Note: starting with v6.4, GRASS is particular about its library versions. If you build the GDAL-GRASS plugin for GRASS 6.4, then install and run GRASS 6.5, GRASS will complain because GDAL is still using the GRASS 6.4 libraries.

So, first, install GRASS. The following instructions assume that GRASS is built as an application, with version x.y (ie 6.4).

Combine the files from the GDAL source dirs: frmts/grass and ogr/ogrsf_frmts/grass into a single folder, but leave out the GNUMakefile file. Download this custom Makefile and unzip it into the combined folder.

Now, in this merged gdal-grass folder:

make SYSSDK=snow GRASSPREFIX=/Applications/GRASS-6.4.app/Contents/MacOS

make SYSSDK=leo GRASSPREFIX=/Applications/GRASS-6.4.app/Contents/MacOS

make SYSSDK=tig GRASSPREFIX=/Applications/GRASS-6.4.app/Contents/MacOS

Manually copy the resulting gdal_GRASS.dylib and ogr_GRASS.dylib to the GDAL plugins dir. On a /usr/local install, this will be /usr/local/lib/gdalplugins. For a GDAL framework this is /Library/Application Support/GDAL/PlugIns/$(GDALVER).
