[osgeo4w-dev] Packaging the FYBA lib for SOSI-support in the OSGeo4W version of GDAL

[Blumentrath, Stefan]

Hi again

I am still searching for a solution for integrating GDALs SOSI driver into OSGeo4W (http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Packaging-the-FYBA-lib-for-SOSI-support-in-the-OSGeo4W-version-of-GDAL-td5050052.html
).
The SOSI driver works fine on Linux, translation of the documentation from Norwegian to English is ongoing (https://github.com/kartverket/fyba), and the license of the fyba-lib where the driver is based on suits the GDAL license.
The only thing missing is the build-system for the driver on windows. As mentioned earlier, I am not really a developer, but I might be able to solve this if only someone helps me getting started with building on Windows...
In the Norwegian context, being able to read and write SOSI format directly would be really a reasonable advantage compared to most proprietary GIS software (which cannot).

Best regards
Stefan

Hi

Some update on this topic:

Now I managed to build a .dll of the fyba-lib using gcc in MSYS (shipped with OSGeo4W) By following instructions here: 
http://www.mingw.org/wiki/sampleDLL <http://www.mingw.org/wiki/sampleDLL>
and  http://www.mingw.org/wiki/SpecsFileHOWTO
<http://www.mingw.org/wiki/SpecsFileHOWTO>  . It worked well, except of some warning messages.
Here: 
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/status-of-the-OGR-Norwegian-SOSI-support-td3747196.html
<http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/status-of-the-OGR-Norwegian-SOSI-support-td3747196.html>   
I read that the .dlls should be build with different versions / dependencies in order to integrate the SOSI-Driver into a Windows-Version of GDAL (and also OSGeo4W).

I am a completely newbie here, and consider myself more as a (a little bit
advanced) user than as a developer... So, I am very grateful for any help!
This is what I did to build a fyba.dll in MSYS so far:



What should I do in order to build a propper .dll for OSGeo4W and how could it be integrated in the GDAL version there?

Best regards
Stefan
