[gdal-dev] Newby: Compile gdal with perl on Windows / deployment

[Helmut Seidel M.A.]

Hello again,

I proceeded a little further now. I can run make generate and 
Makefile.PL now and dmake starts compiling until the error-message:

osr_wrap.cpp:1581:24: fatal error: cpl_string.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
dmake.exe:  Error code 129, while making 'osr_wrap.o'

The file is there - but how do I include the path - I altered the 
path-variable and user the perl -I ... switch to the same result ...

Can anybody help?

Thanks Helmut
