To date I've tried: http://gisinternals.com/SDK/P - But there are far too many options and I can never be sure I'm getting the right thing (the page assumes a significant level of knowledge about what package is what). In the end I just go with - http://gisinternals.com/SDK/PackageList.aspx?file=release-1600-x64-gdal-1-10-mapserver-6-4.zip
should be a good choice.
- From there I've tried both the msi (plus python bindings extra) and the zip "Compiled binaries in a single .zip package"- both work for the pure-GDAL stuff (gdalinfo) but none of the python scripts works (i.e. gdal_merge.py).
I prefer the zip version, expand it to a folder of my choice, and run the SDKshell.bat. In the command window I can do the things I want to do in GDAL, without any interfering of other programms, even not from QGIS. Inside the shell, all varaibles are set correctly, and therefore all python modules run too. And it is no problem installing an experimental new GDAL version and keeping the old one in parallel.
==== I found FWTools - http://fwtools.maptools.org/ - except that it seems to be an outdated version of GDAL so I'm hitting some GDAL bugs there that I think are since fixed.
True. For get it.
==== The QGIS version comes with all manner of environmental variable issues that stop it from working stand-alone for me.
Same as gisinternals: You get an OSGEo4w shell icon, and inside that do what you want at command level. That works with standalone and OSGeo4W installer. Inside the shell, the environmental variables are set correctly.
