Other optional dependencies (autodetected) that improve the
functionality of PDAL are jsoncpp and laszip. The installation of
laszip is strongly recommended.
+Zstandard (zstd) is another optional dependency but in Slackware 15.0
+stable it is autodetected if the package zstd-cmake is installed
+(nothing to do in Slackware current).
PDAL can include also the Matlab plugin, that allows to write data to
a .mat file. Since the standard MATLAB is a proprietary software, the
build of this plugin is disabled by default. If you need this plugin
launch the script with MATLAB=yes ./pdal.SlackBuild
-Warning: the build of these plugin does not support free platforms
+Warnings:
+
+1. The build of these plugin does not support free platforms
compatible or alternative to MATLAB, like Octave or Scilab.
+
+2. Although tests are disabled in this slackbuild, cmake looks for
+an installation of googletest (gtest) and if not found it tries to
+fetch a bundle googletest from github. So, gtest is required even not
+used in the build.
