<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>it's my first message on the list, so hi all ;-)... I think you don't need (or even don't want) a presentation, so I'll go directly to the issue:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm building GRASS windows native binary using MSYS/MinGW; the usual procedure is:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) build gdal without grass support</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) build grass</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) rebuild gdal with grass support</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and this is ok. But the guide I'm followings is about GDAL 1.4.1, and suggests to build it without libtool and then adding a lot of gcc instructions. So here's the problem: I want to build GDAL 1.5.0, but the gcc instructions of 1.4.1 guide don't work (obvioulsy!)... I need to build it using libtool. I read the notes on GDAL web site, but I didn't understand some things:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>1) [...] Edit libtool at line 6114 to sed out the MSYS-anchored absolute path [...] or [...] Edit GNUmakefile on lines 6-12 [...]</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>just before make command, and after ./configure command?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) Expat: I have expat installed (built using MSYS), release 2.0.1</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>[...] get libexpat.dll and create an import library with [...] </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the instruction is not very clear... before or after builfing GDAL?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) I already have an installed version of GDAL (1.4.1) in my usr/local, but dll is not libgdal-1.dll, it is libgdal.dll, built using the following instructions <A href="http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/BuildingFromSource#head-cfa56b4e7278363ab05f9c130014a85f99019f5a">http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/BuildingFromSource#head-cfa56b4e7278363ab05f9c130014a85f99019f5a</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and I also have other gdal files in my /usr/local... I would delete them, but I am not sure of what files I need to delete! Can I build and install gdal 1.5 without taking care of prevoius 1.4.1 build and install?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many thanks,</FONT></DIV>
