 Replying to [comment:6 rashadkm]:
 > Let us imagine that we port ossim geos c++ part to c api. And there
 comes otb that uses ossim. so the problem comes back when ossim is
 compiled with a different compiler and and otb or something is using a new
 one.

 Sure.  ossim should be built with the same compiler as otb - if it want's
 to be available for otb (w/o providing a C-API).  And AFAIK otb is already
 using Qt (which also doesn't provide a C API) - so everything there is
 already tied to msvc2010 (which is what Qt was built with).

 Um, who's going to produce all those packages?

 version of compiler.

 Users probably don't care about the compiler versions.

 msvc and mingw dll as in the case of grass.

 problem. It will arrive later.

 Sorry I don't follow.
