[GRASS-dev] GRASS and GDAL 1.4.1 MingW

[Benjamin Ducke]

I just tried installing the GDAL version contained in the
wingrass-extralibs package:

http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/wiki/WinGRASS_Current_Status

following the precise steps as outlined here:

http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/wiki/WinGRASS_Current_Status

With a fresh update of GRASS CVS

Still the same configure error:

checking for gdal-config... /usr/local/bin/gdal-config
checking for GDALOpen... no
checking for GDALOpen... no
configure: error: *** couldn't find GDAL

What am I doing wrong?
