[gdal-dev] Libgdal Compilation with MinGW

[Rodolfo Bonnin]

Hello all,

I am trying to compile gdal using CMake with MinGW 4.4, and had the
following errors:

______________________________
[...]libkml-1.2.0/src/kml/base/file_win32.cc:3
5:19: error: xstring: No such file or directory
[...]libkml-1.2.0/src/kml/base/file_win32.cc:4
3:35: error: empty character constant
______________________________

So I changed the file_win32 , obtaining the following diff:

  std::copy(str.begin(), str.end(), wstr.begin());
  return wstr;
 }

_________________________________________________

After that the library compiled OK.

This was a quick fix, and I have to check it for correctness, any
comments are welcome regarding a better way to fix the compilation
(Conditional code to check for MinGW before including xstring for
example)

Regards and thanks in advance.
