[gdal-dev] image Compilation of Qgis 1.8 with gdal svn (Windows7_64bits)

[Joaquim Luis]

Do you really need to rebuild qgis?
I think replacing the old gdal dll by the new one will be (almost) 
enough. In practice things are a bit more complicated because of the 
gdal.dll dependencies, but nothing that a good hunt with "Dependency 
Walker" cannot solve (and still much easier than rebuild qgis).
