AW: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Newbie question - building GDAL

[Engel Gerhard]

Thanks Frank & the others,

The GDAL question has been solved.

It's the last point you mention I don't manage to handle: 
The path to/of my grid (binary) directory is
c:\projects\abtenau\geodata\abtdem\

The SHAPEPATH is set to "c:\projects\abtenau\geodata" and for the
DATA-parameter of my grid file I assume "abtdem/hdr.adf" is correct or am I
mistaken here?!

I have tried all sorts of path variation now but none will work. Or do I
have to leave out the PROJECTION object for the grid layer?

Kind regards,
Gerhard
