[Gdal-dev] Problems building gdal dll with libtool on MinGW

[Thom DeCarlo]

The place where I experience problems with static libraries is when I try to
include the Earth Resources Mapping ECW library. It is only available as a
static library and that causes problems when I build the gdal plugin for
OpenSceneGraph. Has anyone solved this?

Thanks,
Thom

All external libraries shoyld be dinamic too. This is not a problem in
case of libz, because it can be simply compiled in (use
--with-zlib=internal option), but if you want to link against libraries,
not included in GDAL distribution, you should build them dinamically.
