[Gdal-dev] Extracting Geo Info From GeoTiff's

[Theuns Heydenrych]

HI
I am knew to gdal open source software.
So far i could use the online help on GDAL to extract raster data from  a
GeoTiff file successfully.
But I am struggling a bit to get the Geo information from the Geo tiff i
need to geo reference the raster data.
As I understand I can use GDAL to do this?

I did read through the source code to get a feeling where to start. 
As far as I can figure out , I have to use the function GTIFGetDefn to get a
definition structure back with the information , but the function obviously
requires a handle to the Geotiff file.
This handle can be obtained from using the GTIFNew Function.

I downloaded the Gdal Source code, 3 weeks ago , and compiled the source
with VC++ to produce gdal13.dll.
But some of the GTIF functions did not get exposed in the dll??
The GTIFNew function do have the CPL_DLL declaration in front of the
function ??

Can anybody guide me in a direction , to fix this so that when compiling the
source the methods is exposed. 
Help would be much appreciated
Thanks
