Maybe I should ask the question like this.<br>
<br>
>From my perusing of the threads, various websites, and those who know
alot more about building various exe's from source, is it fair to say
that gdal builds for current versions of Python (i.e. will there be an
installable .exe version of gdal for Python 2.4) are expected to come
out soon after new releases of GDAL? Does one of the primary
developers for GDAL, the FWTools community, etc do this? and does it
get posted here? Are there typical time frames for this?<br>
<br>
I would like to be able to use the gdal libraries in Python 2.4 for use
in an application I am writing in Python 2.4 under Windows and the
current version of Numpy. FWTools contains some of this
functionality, but alot of the multi-band processing comes from writing
the gdal and numpy (currently Numeric) python code through the Python
Shell from within FWTools (which uses Python 2.3). My main hurdle
is I am not too savvy with compiling the gdal libraries from the
source, plus it seems like from other contributers from this site that
it is not real straight forward and/or requires a bunch of other
compiling programs to be installed properly.<br>
<br>
>From what I read there seems to be alot of good developments to move
forward and be able to incorporate gdal, numpy, and python.
Regarding compiling from source, I would like to know if there are any
detailed understandable instructions for compiling the gdal for python
2.4 on windows and using open source compilers through environments like MinGW. There
seems to be some quirks with this and hence my reluctance to actually
take on this task.<br>
<br>
I appreciate any feedback, direction, contacts, sources, etc.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
