[gdal-dev] Geoinformatica 2010-10-15 available

[Ari Jolma]

  Folks,

Geoinformatica(1) is a stack of free software, which builds on GDAL, 
Perl, and GTK+. I've just made a new win32 binary release of the 
stack(2), which contains the latest GDAL from trunk. It also contains 
the Perl bindings (Geo::GDAL module), a set of modules built on top of 
that, and a set of Perl modules built on top of Perl bindings for GTK+ 
that can be used to develop graphical geospatial programs for the desktop.

Geoinformatica is somewhat experimental OSGeo labs software whose 
proof-of-concept desktop application is useful but not a comprehensive 
GIS. This Windows release is aimed at being a simple to install and easy 
to use platform for exploiting the power of GEOS, GDAL, Perl and other 
free software. The windows installer is basically a file copy. The 
resulting directory is self-contained and can be used to install the 
platform even as a standard user on any Windows machine.

GDAL and other libraries in Geoinformatica are compiled with MinGW.

Best regards,

Ari
