[Gdal-dev] Compiling C# bindings for 1.3.0b1

[Howard Butler]

Mike,

The C# bindings can only be compiled with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 
.  I see that you are using MSVC 6 by the VC98 directory in your make 
statement.  Any chance you are using the wrong compiler VCVARS32.BAT?

Also, as I stated before in a previous email, the C# bindings are not 
complete.  You will be able to do some basic things like open a GDAL 
Dataset and write out a copy, but you will not be able to use any functions 
that return complex types (like GetGeoTransform).  If you are really 
committed to C# and GDAL, be prepared to invest some effort in developing 
the typemap conversions to do so.  There are dummy typemaps in the 
typemaps_csharp.i file that specify what will need to be done.
