[gdal-dev] Problem with GDAL Python bindings and ECW format under Windows

[Jason Roberts]

Tamas,

 

Are you still planning to implement the registry-based approach? I ask because you seemed in favor of avoiding modifying PATH, if at all possible (a position I agree with), and the registry approach would eliminate that need while still making GDAL + bindings “just work”.

 

Thanks,

jason

Tamas,
Could you improve the Windows GDAL installer, so that it automatically sets
the environment variables (GDAL_DATA and GDAL_DRIVER_PATH), and adds the
GDAL binaries path to the PATH environment variable ?



I will  do some improvements in the installers to make the things easier. Modifying the environment should only be happen upon the user's request and shouldn't be done automatically in my opinion. I would create a custom dialog in the installer where the user can allow this setting to be happen.

Best regards,

Tamas
