Preamble

2011-11-04: Update: I did my first compile of this source in April, but omitted adding an important component, Web Map Service (WMS). At the time the main reason was that it depended on CURL to do the HTTP protocol handling. I have subsequently successfully compiled a recent version of CURL, so it was time to add back this component.

While the GDAL source has various MSVC build files, these only use NMake on 'makefiles', and produce a DLL... so I used my CreateDSP.pl perl script (see scripts) to generate a set of MSVC build files the way I like them, in a new 'msvc' folder. There is the main libgdal static library, and about 28 test and command line utility programs, all using the MS 'static' runtime, /MT and /MTd.

GDAL-1.8.1 - Geospatial Data Abstraction Library

From : http://www.gdal.org/
GDAL is a translator library for raster geospatial data formats that is released under an X/MIT style Open Source license by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. As a library, it presents a single abstract data model to the calling application for all supported formats. It also comes with a variety of useful command line utilities for data translation and processing. The NEWS page describes the January 2011 GDAL/OGR 1.8.0 release.

This is a port to Win32 (XP), using MSVC8, runtime /MT. The build files used are in the source zip, in a 'msvc' folder. Just download the zip, unzip to say a base folder GDAL-1.8.1, and point your version of MSVC to libgdal.dsw, or libdal.sln (MSVC8), and go... the config has been hand generated with an attempt to support all formats 'internal' to the gdal library.

The only 'external' source is CURL. You will have to adjust the curl library name and paths in the MSVC IDE for each of the EXECUTABLES.
