Ari,

The SDK packages from http://vbkto.dyndns.org/sdk/ are exactly the same
which have been used to compile the daily builds, so it should be up to
date. The only thing may have to be done is to download the required version
of the gdal sources in the root folder, because not all of the versions
included in the package in order to keep the size as small as possible.

BTW: What is the desired practice to install the gdal files + bindings along
with a pre-installed perl runtime on Windows? Something like we have been
discussing for python in this thread, do we have some desired install
locations, environment settings or packaging conventions?


Best regards,

Tamas
