<div class="moz-cite-prefix">- The freexl port builds in vcpkg CI,
and there are no open issues for Windows.<br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">- Either there are log files for the
actual error, reported on the console, or it fails early for
example because of mixing different msys2/cygwin runtimes.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">- freexl is an optional feature of port
gdal. If nothing asks for it, it is not enabled in port gdal.<br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">- However, libspatialite is a default
feature of port gdal, and freexl is a default feature of port
libspatialite. ATM it is not possible to opt-out from
libspatialite[freexl], but this will be fixed with port gdal
3.11.1.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">- To opt-out from all default features
of a port, you must declare this in the top-level manifest
(manifest mode) or by using the pseudo feaure "core" (classic
mode). The reason why you can't do this now with
libspatialite[core] is that gdal[libspatialite] implicitly depends
on the default features of port libspatialite.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>I didn’t save the exact message but
it was fairly non descriptive. It was something like
BUILD_FAILED. Sorry, my bad for not saving the exact

environment and if it’s not critical then I can live without
it. If no one else is complaining then I wouldn’t waste
time looking into it. If I have time later I will try to
rebuild and reproduce the error, it just takes an hour to
build so can’t do it right now. Thanks for your help
though!</span></p>

<p>what error messages did you get when trying with FreeXL ?</p>
<p>Removing the FreeXL dependency removes support for the old
prior-to-Excel-2007 binary XLS format. So usually not a big
deal</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>All,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>I tried to build GDAL 3.11.0 from <a
href="https://vcpkg.io/en/package/gdal"
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://vcpkg.io/en/package/gdal</a>
and FreeXL kept failing on my Windows 11 box using <span>Microsoft
Visual Studio Professional 2022 (64-bit) – Current
Version 17.14.7. To resolve the issue I built a
custom-overlay port and removed FreeXL from the build
and then everything built great. I tried to just build
FreeXL using VCPKG and that failed so I was wondering if
it’s just my machine that is messed up or are others
having issues as well? By removing FreeXL will I be
crippling any other drivers that may depend on it? I
looked at the docs and it didn’t seem that important?
Also, is there a way to specify what drivers not to
build without doing a custom-overlay port?</span></span></p>
