GDAL is available but again typically as MS compiler builds
- which should not be a problem in theory because the
bindings use it through the C API. I've tried to use those a
couple of times without luck (compiling the bindings in
MinGW was the problem). Maybe I should try again using
binaries from Tamas' site.<br>
<br>
I agree that there could be a one main site for GDAL Windows
binaries (something like <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html"
target="_blank">http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html</a>).
Tamas' site looks good but I'd like to have dev packages
also (the SDK packages there look old) - just the header
files should be enough. <br>

The SDK packages from <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://vbkto.dyndns.org/sdk/">http://vbkto.dyndns.org/sdk/</a>
are exactly the same which have been used to compile the daily
builds, so it should be up to date. The only thing may have to
be done is to download the required version of the gdal
sources in the root folder, because not all of the versions
included in the package in order to keep the size as small as
possible.<br>

By the age I meant that the SDK packages are old releases (from 1310
to 1600 and not trunk for example - do I understand the release
names correctly?)<br>

BTW: What is the desired practice to install the gdal files +
bindings along with a pre-installed perl runtime on Windows?
Something like we have been discussing for python in this
thread, do we have some desired install locations, environment
settings or packaging conventions? <br>

CPAN has only sources, thus cpan application which is the standard
to download and install perl modules expects you to have a compiler.<br>
<br>
ActivePerl (in fact ActiveState, the company) maintains a repository
of perl modules in binary versions, from where they can be simply
downloaded and installed with another program. ActivePerl has tools
for developing those binary packages. That's very similar to what
Python has. I think ActiveState maintains its repository by itself -
so if I just make the CPAN module intelligent enough it may end up
there eventually. I think my Geo::Shapelib module was/is there.<br>
<br>
I think it would not make sense to include GDAL into such a binary
perl module package. Thus GDAL would need to be separately
installable - the module installer could probably be made to offer
install it for the user if it existed somewhere.<br>
<br>
In short /me thinks the requirements are: 1) /me develop the perl
bindings configure & make procedure better 2) we make
GDAL-dev.msi available at an URL. <br>
