[gdal-dev] question about build static gdal with visual studio

[tang]

 It seems that gdal always links it's applications to dynamic lib. at last I
change the makefile.vc in the app folder with below lines.
!IFDEF DLLBUILD
LIBS = $(GDAL_ROOT)\gdal_i.lib
!ELSE
LIBS = $(GDAL_ROOT)\gdal.lib $(GDAL_ROOT)\ogr\ogr.lib
$(GDAL_ROOT)\port\cpl.lib $(GDAL_ROOT)\ogr\ogrsf_frmts\ogrsf_frmts.lib
$(ODBCLIB) $(CURL_LIB) $(TIFF_LIB) $(JPEG_LIB) $(PNG_LIB) $(GEOS_LIB)
!ENDIF
then the applications can run with out gdal18.dll.
  Best regards!  and thank you !
