[gdal-dev] Converting VPF vector set into shapefile (under Windows environment)

[Philippe Ghesquiere]

Dear all,

I would like to convert a VPF vector set ( OGDI driver
<https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/ogdi.html>  ) into shapefile format.

My environment is  as follow:

   - windows 10
   - GDAL environment installed with QGIS 3.26.0 : *GDAL 3.5.0, released
   2022/05/10*
   - the OGDI driver is available
   ogrinfo --format ogr_ogdi
   Format Details:
     Short Name: OGR_OGDI
     Long Name: OGDI Vectors (VPF, VMAP, DCW)
     Supports: Vector
     Help Topic: drivers/vector/ogdi.html
     Supports: Open() - Open existing dataset.
     Supports: Multiple vector layers.

To make sure I have a supported database, I downloaded the
gdalautotest suite.

After reading the OGDI driver <https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/ogdi.html>
page, I modified the example for a  windows environment. I tried the
following command

ogrinfo
gltp:/vrf/C:\Download\GDAL\gdalautotest-3.6.4\ogr\data\vm2alv2_texash\texash

I observe :


   - nothing happens (no warning or error message)
   - activating debug mode does not give any extra information

As mentioned in the  OGDI driver
<https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/ogdi.html> page,
the '*texash/*' directory is at the same level as the *dht *and *lat *files.

Do you have any idea for a correct "windows-like" path I should use ?

Thanks

Philippe
