I need GDAL with both Shapefile and HDF4-Support, if possible in 64 bit. Since the normal GDAL-versions from (gisinternalscom) have Shapefile, but no HDF4 and the version from FWTools has HDF4, but no Shapefiles, Im afraid I have to compile a GDAL-version by myself. The problem is that Im 'just' a geographer with programming skills, but no real IT-expert, and Ive never compiled open source by myself, so maybe my question is quite simple for you. :)
First Ive downloaded the source code from (tracosgeoorg). The I opened makegdal90.vcproj with Visual Studio 2010. It needed to do some updates, then it opened. If I compile it without changes, I get a GDAL-folder with a new GDAL19.dll. If I try to use this whole folder in my C#-project that works with normal GDAL-versions, I get a error. But if I only copy the new GDAL19.dll over the old one in the existing GDAL(32 bit)-folder it works. Is this how it should be or is something going wrong here already ? The second step is to switch to 64bit, in nmake.opt I changed the following entry: # Uncomment the following if you are building for 64-bit windows # (x64). You'll need to have PATH, INCLUDE and LIB set up for 64-bit # compiles. WIN64=YES Then I changed the setting of the VS-project to X64 and compiled again. It still works as before: I get a new GDAL19.dll that works fine in my old GDAL(64 bit)-folder. But then I cant do the third step, including HDF4. I found and changed the following section in nmake.opt: # Uncomment the following and update to enable NCSA HDF Release 4 support. HDF4_PLUGIN = NO HDF4_DIR = C:\HDF HDF4_LIB = /LIBPATH:$(HDF4_DIR)\lib Ws2_32.lib I tried it maybe 100 times, but it never worked. Sometimes I get a corrupt GDAL19.dll, sometimes I get >100 errors when compiling and sometimes I get a working GDAL19.dll without HDF4-support. I've read almost every Google-hit in English and German I found, but it never worked. One problem is that the files mentioned there do not exist in the HDF-versions Ive downloaded. I guess, this tips were for much older versions of GDAL and HDF4. So can anybody give a step by step tutorial "How to compile GDAL with HDF4 for dummies" ? ;) I need to know which HDF4-files I need, where to get them, and what exactly I have to write in nmake.opt. Or is there a ready to use GDAL-download with HDF4 and Shapefiles somewhere ? (32 bit would be OK to, that isnt that important) ------------------ Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=49606#49606 _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
