GDAL 1.11 no vector support?

Question

I was trying to look at the OGR api in GDAL, and was following the tutorial here: http://www.gdal.org/ogr_apitut.html. I kept getting an undefined reference to pretty much everything. I've installed from source the latest version (1.11) on my linux distro from here: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadSource. Looking through the header file, specifically in gcore/gdal.h, I see for example that GDALOpenEx is not there, nor is it in the version before that. It is, however, in the subversion repository. So, what gives?

What is your actual question? You seem to be asking three of them. — orfdorf, Jun 13 '14 at 19:43

There is no GDALOpenEx function for GDAL 1.11. You are looking at documentation for GDAL 2.x.

The documentation for 1.11 is found at http://gdal.org/1.11/

Or, you can make the documentation for the version you are using locally, e.g.:

make docs
sudo make install-docs

Then view them locally from your web browser, e.g.:

chromium /usr/local/doc/ogr/ogr_apitut.html

Thanks for this. This is just weird to me, that the documentation on their website is for the subversion repository, and not the current stable source release. – sovemp Jun 16 '14 at 20:11
