[Gdal-dev] GDAL 1.5.0 managed wrapper binaries

[Chris Howell]

Tamas,

Since this closely relates to.

http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2290 I felt like throwing my two sense 
in.

I wonder if we could incorporate a policy in gdal how these
complementary packages (like gdal-csharp) are created for the osgeo4w

[chowell] - Great idea. I suggest a layout something like this.
gdalVERSION.dll (native dll)
gdalVERSION-wrap.dll (wrapper dll)
gdalVERSION-CSharp.dll (C# dll obviously), or whatever binary language 
we're building to.

Are you planning to use separate scripts/batch files to create these binaries?

[chowell] - I don't see a need for seperate scripts/batch files, I 
prefer to execute 1 script to run and build everything you need. I would 
fear multiple scripts and batch files a maintenance nightmare.

It should also be noted that currently ms4w should contain the C#
related binaries for the stable branch, however unmanaged part of the
wrappers (*_wrap.dll) are still missing from the package as I can see.

[chowell] - I can include these if you wish. 

Cheers
Chris Howell
