[gdal-dev] Gdal driver not working in windows 7

[Ram prasad]

Following is repost, because the message appeared garbled in the mailing list.

I could not compile my code along with other formats in frmts due to
my insufficient experience in using nmake projects.

http://www.gdal.org/gdal_drivertut.html gives information on writing a driver.
Is there a document on compiling the driver? I need to be able to
specify the search path for include files for the compiler and input
files for the linker.

Thank you

It is crashing when I run gdalinfo gdal_translate.exe with or without parameters. so i wrote a dummy gdal driver (the following code), which also is crashing in GDALDriverManager::~GDALDriverManager()  at the line "delete poDriver;". This also happens in windows server 2008. The gdal versions i tested are 1.6.0, 1.6.1. and 1.7.3
