[Gdal-dev] Programming with GDAL in Windows XP using DEV-C++ or CodeBlocks

[btaylor]

I've been trying to use/build GDAL in Windows.  I thought I'd start with the 
perry-geo hillshade, aspect, and slope command line utilities and then move 
into building some custom raster calculators/manipulation utilities. 
However, after spending many hours across several days attempting to compile 
these files under WinXP, and searching hundreds of internet links, I am 
unable to successfully link to the gdal libraries and have a successful 
compile.  I have tried to use pre-compiled gdal libraries and headers and 
also I have tried to compile from source myself.  Lately I have installed 
CodeBlocks in an attempt to circumvent DEV-C++ in case there were problems 
with the compiler gui.  Again, no success, but I do get the same reference 
errors as in DEV-C++ when the linker starts (see below). 
 
Has anyone used GDAL libraries in a windows compiling environment?  I am so 
tired of experimenting.  I would really like to know if someone has done 
this or can do this, and specifically, how they pulled it off.  Any help 
would be appreciated.  I've dabbled in programming, but my biggest weakness 
is understanding the compiling/linking process and makefiles and such.  If 
anyone can help or point me in the right direction I'd be grateful.  Thanks, 
Bryan.
