[gdal-dev] Compiling GDAL with Visual Studio 2019

[Alexis Vaisse]

  Thanks.
  I tried to follow your suggestion, updated nmake.opt, added the PROJ library and here is what I get:


D:\Terrain\Extern\gdal-3.1.3>nmake -f makefile.vc MSVC_VER=1927 WIN64=1

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 14.27.29110.0

        cd port
        nmake /nologo /f makefile.vc
        call prev_dllbuild.bat
The system cannot find the path specified.

D:\Terrain\Extern\gdal-3.1.3\port>IF NOT EXIST dllbuild.prev (ECHO 1 ) 1>dllbuild.prev

D:\Terrain\Extern\gdal-3.1.3\port>SET /P PREV_DLLBUILD= 0<dllbuild.prev

D:\Terrain\Extern\gdal-3.1.3\port>IF NOT "1" == "1" (ECHO 1 ) 1>dllbuild.prev
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'call' : return code '0x1'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.27.29110\bin\HostX64\x64\nmake.EXE"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

Yes, many times.

First, you don't have to generate .vcxproj files with the .bat script
to build GDAL.
Just run `nmake.exe` command in the VS Command Prompt.

However, before you attempt to build GDAL, you need to:
- Read https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildingOnWindows
- Check also https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildHints for specific
needs/dependencies/drivers
- Collect dependencies you require
- Edit nmake.opt to disable/enable features/drivers you don't
need/need, you have third-party dependencies for, etc.
- Run NMAKE

GDAL is not a self-contained project.
GDAL has numerous dependencies that you need to provide/install,
On Windows, manual editing of nmake.opt to configure your build is necessary.

Best regards,
