Hello again,
Thank you for your answers, which guided me through my first steps.
Yesterday I was quite happy to succeed compiling mapserver with perl
which is a first step. In compiling gdal I was not that lucky but got a
few millimeters forward.
I tried compiling with MinGW and mysys - and the --with-perl option.
gdal itself compiles ok but the perl-portion breaks up with a file not
found error (perl.h). I guess MinGW gets confused with the perl
installations (it tries to use the one that comes with mysys not the one
I installed in C:\Perl. Is there a way how to tell configure/make which
Perl to use?
I then tried the visualc option - which succeeded aswell, but without
perl. So here are two more questions (sorry for that):
1. Is it possibible to tell Visualc to compile with perl (as in the
--with-perl - option in MinGW)?
2. Is it possible to first build gdal without perl and then install
perl later?
Thanks again.

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
