[Gdal-dev] What's necessary to use GDAL/OGR Libery!

[Roger James]

Markus,

I have found nmake -f makefile.vc devinstall works better than just
"install". If you have built with vc this also copies the header files
into the include directory.

You may also have to change the

lib:

line in makefile.vc to

lib: $(LIBOBJ)

to stop some complaints.
