Hi Philippe,

It's not ogr only, but if you use OSGeo4W advanced install and select just the 'gdal' package you get something which is much lighter weight than fwtools with a minimum of fuss.

See http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/wiki

cheers,

Hi,

The "Building On Windows With Minimized Drivers" page being under construction, I'll take a chance and post my question here.

What I need are basically binaries for an application that only makes use of the OGR utilities. My application works like a charm with the FWTools, but the whole thing is way to big to be integrated. I tried the "minimalist windows executables" with the PG plug-in on the binaries page, but experienced some problems. First, exporting from a PostGIS DB to a shapefile with ogr2ogr would not create a *.prj file, which it did with the last FWTools (newer version?). Writing the same table to KML didn't work either, my coordinates being (for some obscure reason) totally messed up.

Now my question, how difficult would it be to build a stripped down version of the library with only the OGR utilities. I builded some things before, but only under Linux (GRASS and other GIS software). My knowledge on this topic is, at the best, rudimentary, but I'm ready to give it a try (I was able to build GDAL from source using the information in the wiki). Is there something like a configuration file (nmake.opt?), where I could only use those things I really needed?

Thanks,

Philippe Kruschitz
