[Gdal-dev] Re: GDAL C API in Delphi

[Ivan Lucena]

Mateusz,

You can get the full package from the same address that I mentioned before
for C++ Builder: http://codegear.com/Default.aspx?tabid=144

But I think that what Delphi programmers will need from us is just to
include those changes that Artur have mentioned:

>>> nmake.opt

# Uncomment this line to build a Delphi compatible dll:
#LINKER_FLAGS  = /def:gdal14.def

Of course, we need to add the file "gdal114.def" created by the inpdef tool
(comes with Delphi) to the root. We can make it run automatically I guess.

But do some test you will need to write interface units, gdal.pas and
ogr.pas that replicate all the gdal.h and ogr_api.h types and function
definition in Pascal. That is way to much work and I think that it is up to
the Delphi user to do that. That is not a wrapper.

Let me know if you need any thing else,

Regards,

Ivan

Ivan,

No, I don't have Delphi environment, but if there is any free like VC++
2005 EE, I can install it if that will help us to solve GDAL problems
for Delphi users.

I've been programming with Pascal quite a long time ;-)
