skissane / unicode-cldr-json-license-metadata-issue.txt
Created April 18, 2018 15:48
Analysis of an issue with CLDR JSON license metadata
In the Unicode CLDR repositories https://github.com/unicode-cldr
the package.json and bower.json don't declare the software license using proper
SPDX syntax.
This is causing some problems with the WebJars system –
https://www.webjars.org/ – which demands a valid open source license be
declared. (WebJars uses BinTray, and BinTray only allows open source artifacts
to be posted without paying.)

Solutions and workarounds for issues with "pex install postgis" (assuming macOS+Homebrew)

Problem: configure: error: could not find libxml2
Solution: sudo xcode-select -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

Solution: brew install geos

Problem: configure: error: could not find proj_api.h - you may need to specify the directory of a PROJ.4 installation using --with-projdir
Solution: brew install proj and then CFLAGS=-DACCEPT_USE_OF_DEPRECATED_PROJ_API_H pex install postgis

Problem: configure: error: gdal-config not found. Use --without-raster or try --with-gdalconfig=\
