[Gdal-dev] Compling GDAL 1.3.1 in MinGW

[Mike Leahy]

Frank,

Thanks - that did the trick.

This leads me to a more general question: would I be better off if I 
were to use Cygwin instead of MinGW/MSYS for compiling code on Win32? 
It's been a while for me, but I seem to recall that Cygwin uses bash...

Thanks again,
Mike
