[Qgis-developer] Which compiler should I use to build example code?

[Henri De Feraudy]

Hello, 
  I have installed cmake, read some documentation, checked out the latest timtut1 project and 
run cmake, then the Microsoft VS 2008 C++ compiler.
(This is like using a sledge hammer to crack a peanut ;))
 
With eboth Qgis installers I get an error at link time: the linker complains as follows

C:\Program Files\Quantum GIS\bin\qgis_core.dll : fatal error LNK1107: invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0x2F0

(About the same mistake occurs when I use the osgeo release.)
 
By the way the non-osgeo release does not have the includes for GEOS and GDAL 
and the names of the libraries for geos and gdal are not the ones that Cmake is looking for.
 
Maybe I should be using a "development library"??
Maybe I should download a more recent (than 1.0.2 Kore) installer?
Yours truly
Henri

OK. You need to build it using CMake. Standard procedure should be
(guessing a little because I'm a linux user):

Install osgeo4w into the standard location (c:\osgeo4w) including all
developer libs
Use your system properties to export the LIB_DIR environment var to
point to c:\osgeo4w
enter the tut dir
mkdir build
cd build
cmakesetup ..
configure (c)
generate (g)
nmake

Windows gurus please chip in where I have gone wrong above...

Sorry that was a typo, I meant dev (ie developer) libs.

I just made some small tweaks to tuts 1-4 so please update from svn
when you get the chance.

Tim
