[Gdal-dev] Exception thrown in GDALOpen() function

[Ben Discoe]

Noureddine,

It is quite likely that you are using the debug-mode GDAL with your
release-mode applications, or vice-versa.  They must match.  This means
that in order to develop application in both debug and release mode, you
need to build GDAL both ways.

The changes to the makefiles to make this easy (including giving the
debug library a different name so that it can be distinguished at link
time) has been made by myself and others and has been offered on this
list, but has not yet been accepted into the GDAL build.

In the meantime, may i suggest that rather than build GDAL on Windows,
you simply use these precompiled binaries:

http://vterrain.org/dist/gdal-119-ntbin.zip  (2.3 MB)

It contains the necessary Debug and Release .lib/.dll
