[Gdal-dev] svn build error

Mateusz,

OK. That is very simple to do and they can get the binaries from:

ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/HDF/HDF_Current/bin/windows

There *is* binary a distribution available at:

---
ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/HDF/HDF_Current/bin/windows/README:

This directory contains the HDF 4.2r2 binary distributions (HDF
libraries, include files, utilities, man pages, release notes)
for Windows:

    42r2-win-cygwin.zip
    42r2-win-vnet.zip
    42r2-win-vs2005.zip
    42r2-win-vs6.zip
---

But like I said before, this distributions doesn't carry debugging 
library.  So, like you said, in this case we need to download the source 
from:

ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/HDF/HDF_Current/src/  [+ Zlib, Jpeg, Szip ]

Change the compiler setting to generate debug libraries and build the 
whole thing again.

I needed to do that anyway to update my old 415r2 version. :)

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Ivan
