Hello everybody,
in my comming up perl-project I need to use the Geo::Gdal - module. As I
understand I need to compile gdal from sources first and then build the
perl bindings. So far so good, but as I'm not a C/C++ developer I ran
into a host of problems. The first thing I tried, was to install MinGW
and compile gdal with the "--with-perl" option, which ran for about two
hours but broke of with a message complaining that perl 5.8 was not
found on my system (I have ActivePerl 5.16 installed) - as far as I
could decipher the message - I tried gdal 1.90 and gdal 1.92.
I then tried to compile it using VC 10 which seemed to work but I didn't
find a possibility where to put the "--with-perl" option - anyway I
tried to compile perl using perl Makefile.PL which imediately complained
about being not able to find gdal-conf (which I couldn't find either). I
guess there would be lots of complaints after that, but I only got that far.
I'm sure my errors have something to do with setting up paths and
compilation options, but I dont't know which and where to set them.
So here's my question: has anybody a blow by blow account for C/C++
dummies how to set up Geo::Gdal? That would be great!
Another question is how to deploy the finished application to other
computers.
I hope you could understand all of my English and my questions are not
too stupid - but I spend two working days on it so far so I'm a little
desperate now.
Thanks and regards
