Hi Zhenyu Lu,<div><br></div><div>You need not install the plugin dll-s if you don't require the corresponding functionality. </div><div>With regards to the dependent dll-s, you can use the -dev packages from <a href="http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/">http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/</a> to compile your own versions using the following steps:</div>
<div><br></div><div>1. Download the -dev package according to your compiler version.</div><div>2. Extract the SDK files in a specific directory (like C:\builds)</div><div>3. Check out the gdal sources into this directory.</div>
<div>4. Edit makefile and comment out the unwanted dependecies, like:</div><div><br></div><div>#GDAL_POSTGIS = YES</div><div><br></div><div>5. Open a Visual studio command prompt, and type:</div><div><br></div><div>nmake gdal GDAL_DIR=[your gdal directory]</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Tamas</div><div><br></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/10/3 Zhenyu Lu <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:luzhenyu1981@gmail.com">luzhenyu1981@gmail.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div>Hi Tamas,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Sorry for sending you email so late at night. I noticed that you're in charge of maintaining the GDAL binary and SDK packages. I would say that you've done a fatastic job so far for making so many GDAL binary and SDK packages. I've downloaded two .msi files which worked great. So I'm thinking that your knowledge might offer huge help for me.</div>
<div>I would like to ask you several questions regarding the binary and SDK packages you've released.</div>
<div>I used to use the .dll files of GDAL 1.5.2 before, which were compiled by myself using VS2005. Now I wrote a tool for students to use for their labs. I suddenly realized that all the computers of my uniersity have installed Windows 7 64bit operating system, and my previous compiled .dll files do not work anymore.</div>
<div>So I downloaded the gdal-18-1400-x64-core.msi and installed it on my computer. Compared with the previous .dll files, the newly created .dll files has much larger size (maybe much more functions). I think it is mainly because I must include some other .dll files (hdf5dll, geos_c, libmysql, pdflib, and xerces-c_2_8.dll) to make it work. However, using my previously compiled .dll file, I only need to include the gdal1.5.dll itself. So my previous implementation has the file size of < 5 MB, but now the implementation grows to more than 20 MB which make it hard to distribute.</div>
<div>Now I would like to ask is it possible for you to create .dll files or the installation file to only include the gdal18.dll file without the other plugin .dll files? Or is there a way for me to create such .dll files?</div>
<div>Hopefully I have made my questions straightforward.</div>
<div>Thank you so much if you could offer me some suggestions.<br clear="all"><br>-- Zhenyu Lu</div>
