<FONT SIZE="2">I’m trying to build a program in OS X that uses GDAL and most people that use OS X don’t like compiling, so I’d like to just compile everything in (at the risk of the binary being huge), that way everyone is happy and it just works.<BR>
<BR>
OS X does have this nifty feature called Frameworks that allows you to put the headers and lib into a package that you can link to at run time that can travel with the binary, but I’m not sure where to begin turning GDAL into a framework for OS X. I’ll look into it and possibly maintain it once I get the details of how it works on the OS X side of things.<BR>
