[Gdal-dev] mingw build

[Pete Nagy]

Thanks Mario.

Actually, as you know I have been thinking about this stuff in the context
of packaging up OpenEV for GTK2, which we cannot do until I can clean up
the build process.  I guess I would like to take advantage of as many
precompiled windows binaries for all of the dependencies, like gtk and
gdal, and at the same time provide mingw cygwin windows build capability,
since that's what I'm using.  If someone wants to use openev with their
own modified gdal driver, I guess they just need to jump through the hoops
at the time, if they use mingw.  I'm just thinking it would be nice if
every one of these packages could 'configure' + 'make install' and work.
Oh well.

By the way, Norman's advice came to me last December.  Cheers,

-> Pete
