GDAL Java ./configure and swig/java/java.opt patches for building gdal.jar on Mac OS X.

README.md

curl -ks https://gist.github.com/rnix/4958168/raw/build.sh | bash

Then remember to add the following to the JVM's environment that'll be importing gdal:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${PWD}/.libs:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

where ${PWD} is the gdal/swig/java directory (unless you install the libraries).
