Frank,

So what is the purpose of this section in nmake.opt?
I tried with it uncommented but it made no difference.

# PROJ.4 stuff
# Uncomment the following lines to link PROJ.4 library statically. Otherwise
# it will be linked dynamically during runtime.
#PROJ_FLAGS = -DPROJ_STATIC
#PROJ_INCLUDE = -IC:\programs\proj4\proj-4.6.0\bin
#PROJ_LIBRARY = C:\programs\proj4\proj-4.6.0\bin\proj_i.lib
