| 2 |
==================================== |
|---|
| 3 |
|
|---|
| 4 |
This distribution contains files necessary to use GDAL utility applications, |
|---|
| 5 |
as well as library and include files necessary to compile and link other |
|---|
| 6 |
programs against GDAL. It also include support for using GDAL from Python 2.0. |
|---|
| 7 |
|
|---|
| 8 |
Local information about GDAL can be found in html\index.html. |
|---|

Installation |
|---|
| 19 |
------------ |
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 |
It is sufficient to unzip this distribution somewhere on your harddrive, and |
|---|
| 22 |
add the GDALxxx\BIN directory to your path (where xxx is the version). |
|---|
| 23 |
Alternatively, just copy the contents of the BIN directory to somewhere in |
|---|
| 24 |
your path. |
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 |
For those wanting to develop with GDAL using VC++ commandline tools, a small |
|---|
| 27 |
setup script has been written to update the environment appropriately. To |
|---|
| 28 |
use it, edit SETUP_GDAL.BAT, and modify the GDAL_DIR environment to point to |
|---|
| 29 |
where GDAL has been put. Then run SETUP_GDAL.BAT in a DOS window before |
|---|
| 30 |
trying to compile against GDAL. |
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 |
Utility Programs |
|---|
| 33 |
---------------- |
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|

The following GDAL and OGR utility programs should be available in the bin |
|---|
| 36 |
directory. Visit the GDAL web page for more information on the utility |
|---|
| 37 |
programs. |
|---|
| 38 |
|

|---|
| 58 |
LIB GDAL/OGR libraries. GDAL.LIB is the omnibus GDAL/OGR static |
|---|
| 59 |
library. GDAL_I.LIB is the stub (interface) library for the |
|---|
| 60 |
GDAL11.DLL. Link against GDAL_I.LIB to use the DLL. |
|---|
| 61 |
|
|---|
| 62 |
DATA Data files required by OGRSpatialReference and the GDAL |
|---|
| 63 |
GeoTIFF driver for looking up EPSG coordinate systems. Define |
|---|
| 64 |
GEOTIFF_CSV to point to the directory where these files are |
|---|
| 65 |
found. |
