Martin, Chaitanya,

The error about 'ren' might be caused by my yesterday commit
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/changeset/18448 that changed 'rename' to 'ren'. If
you revert it in your local tree (change ren to rename in
frmts/jpeg/libjpeg12/makefile.vc ), does it help going on further ? If so,
please notify me and I'll commit the revert changeset.

Martin,

For the Win32 support of your driver, I've observed a typo in the makefile.vc :
the objects extensions should be .obj, not .o. Otherwise I feel like you might
have missed a few additions in a few files in ogr/ subtree. A pragrmatic way is
to issue "grep -r dxf ogr/" to see all places where the DXF driver was
referenced. You likely need to add support for your VFK driver in the same files
similarly to what is done for DXF. ogr/ogrsf_frmts/makefile.vc is one of the
file for example that comes to mind.

Best regards,

Even
