I used shapelib and particulary the shpcreate tool to create
an empty shape file and then shpadd to add entriew in it.
But in this way i will have to enter all data manually!

Is there any other way to generate it with a more automated way?
Aldo,theese tools don't produce the required .dbf file.
Only .shp and .shx files appear.
