[Gdal-dev] Deploying with GDAL in Windows

[Ivan Lucena]

Mateusz, Frank, All, 

I remove the "/MD" from the OPTFLAGS (nmake.opt) and I added some extra
letters after "VERSION = 13_", then I "clean", "build" and "install"
makefile.vc. Everything works file, but it's going to take a while to
test it in a fresh computer (with no MSVC). But It should work fine. I
will let you guys know if it's not.

Thanks you very much!


Ivan,

Ivan,
Common approach is to distribute those DLLs with the package and keep
them in the same directory as executable or DLL linking with them.

Flags? I don't know any.

Introducing some naming convention seems to be good idea.
