gdal-dev@lists.maptools.org<BR>Objet : [Gdal-dev] Windows CE port of GDAL - work
started<BR><BR><BR>Hi,<BR><BR>I'd like to announce that I started to port
GDAL/OGR to Windows CE.<BR>Company I work for - Taxus SI Ltd.
(www.taxussi.com.pl) - has decided to<BR>move our mapping libraries for Windows
and Windows CE to use GDAL/OGR.<BR>We started to work on port of GDAL/OGR to be
able to<BR>compile it with eMbedded Visual C++ (evc4) and use it on Windows
CE-based<BR>operating systems.<BR>Mainly, I'm involved in this porting
project.<BR>There is also my colleague - Krzysztof - from my company<BR>but he
will do part-time work on this port, management mainly.<BR><BR>The Roadmap of my
work<BR><BR>1. First, my aim is to compile CPL port library using
evc4 compiler and do some tests on Windows CE based devices.<BR>2.
Port OGR part of GDAL to Windows CE with at least Shapelib as data
format.<BR>2.1. Write some test application - Shapefile viewer - based on OGR
for Windows CE.<BR>3. Port other useful vector formats of
OGR.<BR>4. Port GDAL with raster formats to Windows
CE.<BR><BR>Note:<BR>Point 3 and 4 are planned to future work.<BR>Vector support
is now most important for me,<BR>because company I work for needs it in short
time (October-November).<BR><BR>As I talk to Frank Warmerdam, next week, or two
I will send him my code of OGR port to Windows CE.<BR>Then we do some review and
correct my code (online).<BR>After Frank will like my port he move it to the
official CVS repositiory.<BR>...and Windows CE port of GDAL/ORG will live
together with official version.<BR>That should be helpful to track new changes
to GDAL/OGR and add it to the Windows CE port.<BR><BR>My and my company I work
for idea is to publish all changes we will release.<BR>Then everyone who is
interested in using and/or contributing to the Windows CE port<BR>is strongly
welcome.<BR>So, we are doing first step alone, after that it will by available
for everyone.<BR><BR>State of the work<BR><BR>Yesterday, I managed to compile
CPL from MITAB project using evc4 without any errors, only a few
warnings.<BR>OGR in MITAB is cutted-down version, so I decided to start with
this one as potentially simplier to work with.<BR>Today, I'm merging my
CPL-from-MITAB changes to official CPL version, included in GDAL.<BR>Next week,
I'm on a 3-days bussines trip (starting from Wednesday) so,<BR>I have only
Monday and Tuesday to work on OGR port.<BR>But I believe that till the end of
September I will release Windows CE port and send it to Frank for
review.<BR><BR>I'm curious if anyone is interested in GDAL/OGR port for Windows
CE.<BR><BR>My casual thoughts<BR><BR>On my huge TODO list I have also to try to
compile GDAL/OGR with<BR>Intel(R) C++ Compiler for Windows* CE. I have only
evaluation version of this compiler<BR>so if someone has a license and could
help me to test my port, please give me a note.<BR><BR>I think I will follow
Frank Warmerdam's roadmap and suggestions, as he is a project leader.<BR>My
company I work for has no plans to develop our own GDAL/OGR version separated
from official source tree.<BR><BR><BR>All suggestions and ideas are
welcome!<BR><BR>Best regards<BR><BR>--<BR>Mateusz Łoskot<BR>mateusz at loskot
