[Gdal-dev] Compiling ogr/gdal on win32 using MingW

[Woon Wei Lee]

Dear all

Thanks for all the hints. I'd never heard of MSys before this but it rocks!! Also, think it works with cross compiling as well (I didn't know to use "-host=mingw32" before this -> tried with host=win32, win9x, windows, etc etc, without any luck)

In case anyone is coding in C like i was (I was using the C API): I had a million undefined symbols when compiling (this doesn't occur normally because it is dynamically linked under the usual configuration) - the simple fix was to compile to object files with gcc, then proceed using g++... 

Cheers
Wei Lee
