[gdal-dev] Newbie Question

[Tilton, James C. (GSFC-6063)]

Dear list members,

I have successfully used GDAL for many years for raster data.
I now would like to get into using it for vector data.

I thought a good starting point would be the OGR API Tutorial available at:

http://www.gdal.org/ogr_apitut.html

Unfortunately, I can't even compile the example code. For example, my compiler cannot
find GDALOpenEx and GDAL_OF_VECTOR.

I thought, perhaps, the problem was that I had an older version of GDAL installed.
But building and installing the latest version available from http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadSource
(version 1.11.2) did not solve the problem.

What am I missing?
