[Gdal-dev] [ANN] First release of GDAL/OGR for Windows CE

[Mateusz Łoskot]

Hello,

After 22 weeks ;-) of the initial post
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.gdal.devel/5025)
I'm very glad to announce the first release of GDAL/OGR
port for Windows CE.

Two days ago I commited all files and changes to the official GDAL CVS.

Here is a list of features and my comments to the current state of work.


GDAL/OGR for Windows CE features:
- all base OGR API and modules (port, ogr)
- subset of OGR drivers (ogr\ogrsf_frmts): generic, mitab, shape
- wcelibcex - extension to C library on Windows CE


Features not included in GDAL/OGR for Windows CE:
- in fact, this port does not include rasters support
- GEOS has not been ported yet, so OGR for Windows CE
   compiles without GEOS support (work is in progres)
- OGR drivers not listed in features list abov


Untill now, I managed to build GDAL/OGR with eVC++ 4.0 and use it on my 
device running Pocket PC 2003 (Windows CE .NET 4.2).

NOTE: As you may noticed, I call this port as GDAL/OGR but, in fact, 
currently it only includes OGR - vectors support. Simply, I hope it will 
become more complete port of GDAL, with rasters support, in future ;-)


I'd like to thank:
- Frank Warmerdam for GDAL/OGR and priceless support he provide me
- Taxus SI Ltd. from Poland for their great support
- Users from IRC #gdal channel
