[gdal-dev] Compile gdal/ogr with mingw

[David Tran]

Hi to everyone

Did somebody compile gdal/ogr with mingw?

I tried to compile gdal (static/shared) with MinGW without success of
calling the function OGRRegisterAll() in QT 5.2.1 (C++). Starting the
binary results in:

 > The program has unexpectedly finished.

I used those tutorials:

http://gvsigce.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Compiling_the_C/C%2B%2B_support_libraries

http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildingWithMinGW

http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_apitut.html

and this shell script with updated version numbers:

http://sourceforge.net/p/gvsigce/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/support/build_scripts/build_gdal_binaries_mingw.sh

My System:

Windows 8.1,
Expat 2.1.0
GDAL 1.10.1
Geos 3.4.2
Openssl 1.0.1f
PostgreSQL 9.3.4
Proj.4 4.8.0 (Datumgrid 1.6RC1)
Sqlite 3080401
zlib 1.2.8

Two versions of MinGW 32bit were used at the same time for gdal to compile:

and

PATH: C:\MinGW\bin;C:\mingw32\bin

cheers
