While PDAL is not explicitly limited to working with LiDAR data formats, its initial rollout is focused in that area. -Optional dependencies: jsoncpp, laszip, hdf5, OpenSceneGraph. +PDAL includes several plugins needed for some extended features or to +write/read data in specific formats. The build of these plugins +requires optional dependencies included in Slackware 15.0 or available +as packages from Slackbuilds.org. Other plugins need third parts +dependencies that are not available here. + +If their dependencies (autodetected) are installed, the script enables +by default the build of the supported plugins. You can disable each of +them by passing to the slackwbuild its environment variable set as +"no" (for example I3S=no ./pdal.SlackBuild). + +Plugins enabled by default if their dependencies are installed (see +README.SBo to know what feature they extend): + +- E57: requires xerces-c +- OSG: requires OpenSceneGraph + +HDF, I3S, ICEBRIDGE do not require optional deps + +Other optional dependencies (autodetected) that improve the +functionality of PDAL are jsocpp and laszip. The installation of +laszip is strongly recommended. + +PDAL can include also the Matlab plugin, that allows to write data to +a .mat file.
