[Gdal-dev] Building on Windows

[Matt Hanson]

Norman, thanks.   I think I did the right thing. cpl_config is automatically generated so I thought I needed to change the defines (HAVE_VPRINTF, HAVE_VSNPRINTF, and HAVE_SNPRINTF) to 0's in cpl_config.h.vc.  I don't understand why these functions aren't defined in the MSVC compilers but whatever.
 
Things compiled find but then got a linking error, anyone come across this?

Hi, 

I'm trying to compile GDAL using the provided makefile.vc files, and I get the same error right at the beginning.  In doing some google searches I found some posts in the GDAL archive from some chap that had the same problem a couple years ago....that chap turned out to be me!     However, back then I did resolve the issue somehow, but it wasn't resolved with any list help so there's no record of what I did.    This is a different computer, and the newest version of Visual Studio so the fact that I'm the only one to ever have this problem I find rather surprising.   Anyway any suggestions to help me remember what I did?  

Much thanks!  Here's the error:

Hi Matt,

Theres is a thread on snprintf  problems here - http://groups.google.co.uk/group/microsoft.public.vc.language/browse_thread/thread/32d833e0d1d517af/6021c0870b230253%236021c0870b230253

And in port/cpl_config.h  there are already

#define vsnprintf _vsnprintf

#define snprintf _snprintf

I have just compiled GDAL with MSVC 8, you need to install the windows SDK as well if you are using the free version.
