[GRASS-dev] Linking gdal 1.5.1 in mingw

[Joel Pitt]

Hi all,

I've struggled with this for most of today, so thought see if anyone
here had any clues to my troubles.

I'm following the below guide to compile GRASS and related libraries
from scratch on Windows using MinGW:

http://www.webalice.it/marco.pasetti/grass/BuildFromSource.html

I've gotten up to compiling GDAL, but it doesn't link... saying:

----

make[1]: *** [libgdal.la] Error 1

----

When I check for the missing file,
/usr/local/src/gdal-1.5.1/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/o/.libs/arraylist.o seems to
be sitting there with appropriate permissions and all.

Looking around, alot of the GDAL compilation guides say to configure
using "--without-libtool" but that just results in lots of undefined
references.

Has any one successfully compiled GDAL 1.5.1 using the above guide?

Thanks in advance for any help,
