<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The last few days, the build process for the GDAL/OGR SOSI-driver as well as for the underlying OpenFYBA-library has been reasonably improved.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">(SOSI is a topological vector-data format-standard used by the Norwegian Mapping Authoritiy: Kartverket.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Now, MS Visual Studio project files are available together with the source-code for the OpenFYBA-lib (with license-terms according to GDALs license,
<a href="https://github.com/kartverket/fyba">https://github.com/kartverket/fyba</a>).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Furthermore the SOSI-driver can be built as a GDAL-plugin (http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3638) and build-hints can be found at: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/SOSI.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">How should we proceed if we want to get the driver into OSGeo4W?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:NO-BOK">We are thankfull for any hints!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
