Hi,<br>
<br>
So, further to this, I've not had much luck with my previous<br>
approach. I'm going to now try this method; but I kind of want to<br>
understand why what I tried didn't work.<br>
<br>
What I mean by "Didn't work" is that my requests to open DWG files,<br>
or just grab an instance of the DWG driver, didn't work.<br>
<br>
I ask for an instance like so (in C#):<br>
<br>
Ogr.RegisterAll();<br>
Driver d = Ogr.GetDriverByName("DWG");<br>
<br>
"d" comes back as null. So, I expected it to return something given<br>
that I thought I was correctly "enablding" the DWG library. But, I<br>
also checked to see if the number of available drivers changed, after<br>
me doing what I would've expected to result in the enablding. Sadly,<br>
it didn't. So I can only assume that I didn't enanble it correctly.<br>
<br>
So, my process for enabling the DWG driver was basically to allow it<br>
to be compiled as part of the "gdal\ogr\ogrsf_frmts\<a href="http://makefile.vc" target="_blank">makefile.vc</a>" (by<br>
adding in the directory and the obj files). I also set up the required<br>
Teigha libraries by uncommenting and correctly setting the particular<br>
bits of nmake.opt.<br>
<br>
Then the only other change I made was to generate the SWIG bindings.<br>
<br>
Is this the correct way to enable the dwg bindings? Is there<br>
something obvious I've missed? Would linking this other -dev build<br>
script with the particular source work better?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
