[gdal-dev] GDAL DLL and plugin with mixed compiler versions

[Tamas Szekeres]

David,

You should anyway use a consistent build along your system or make sure you
use your own version of gdal dll which is compatible with your plugin.
Mixing dependencies from different sources, compiled by different version
may cause unpredictable issues and crashes. You may either think to upgrade
your dll for VS2008 or isolate your application to load your specific
version. Not sure how that can be done technically without a more detailed
description of your software components/architecture.

Best regards,

Tamas
