R: [gdal-dev] Building with MSYS/MingGW

[Marco Pasetti]

Hi Chris,

>What versions of MSYS and MinGW are you using?

I suggest MSYS (1.0.11) and MinGW (5.1.3)
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.11-2004.04.30-1.exe

>Do you configure with libtool or without (if with, did you need to apply a
patch?)

I use libtool; though it has few patches to let it work:
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildingWithMinGW

>Can you give me an example ./configure line that works for you?

./configure --prefix=/usr/local \
--without-grass \
--without-expat \
--with-pg=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config.exe \
--with-sqlite3=/usr/local/sqlite

If you want to build without GRASS (but with GRASS also works, withou any
patch) and with PostgreSQL and SQLite3;
To add these supports you need to build them with MinGW; prebuilt binaries
of PostgreSQL don't work because linking problems in OpenSSL driver;
I built and added supprt for GRASS SVN, SQlite 3.5.6 (latest) and PostgreSQL
(8.2.6 - latest before 8.3.0, that is the current stable release, but it
does'nt compile on MinGW)

I disabled expat because, for unknow reasons, it is not recognized by
configure.

Adding Python support could be done installing the current release of Python
(2.5.2) and Python Extensions for Windows, respectively from
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.2/python-2.5.2.msi and
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pywin32/pywin32-210.win32-py2.5.exe

Regards,

Marco

Oggetto: [gdal-dev] Building with MSYS/MingGW

Hi all,

I've never been able to get GDAL to build with MSYS/MinGW. However, it
appears others here have, so here's my questions:

What versions of MSYS and MinGW are you using?

Do you configure with libtool or without (if with, did you need to apply a
patch?)

Can you give me an example ./configure line that works for you?

I'm running:
WindowsXP service pack2
MSYS version 1.0.10
MinGW 5.1.3 (gcc 3.4.2)

I've tried building the 1.5 release, and various versions of SVN, both with
and without libtool.

Any tips would be appreciated.

-Chris
