Building with Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition

Reported by: mloskot Assigned to: mloskot
Priority: high Milestone: 1.5.0
Component: ConfigBuild Version: svn-trunk
Severity: normal Keywords: visual c++ vs2008 express
Cc: warmerdam, dmorissette

Description

Current version of GDAL from SVN does not compile cleanly using Visual C++ compiler from the Visual Studio 2008 Express Editions bundle.

There is a few issues:

  • missing ATL required by VC6 layer
  • redefinition of vsnprintf. VC++2008 does include proper definition vsnprintf, without underscore)
  • deprecated and unavailable winres.h (can be safely replaced with windows.h and winver.h

Mateusz,

The patch looks ok, though I hope some day to reduce the complexity of VB6 related stuff.

Go ahead and apply.

Frank,

I will run a few more tests after the Beta 2 is out, and will try to build more complete set of drivers and then apply bigger patch in one shot.

A few comments to VB6 support from the #gdal chat: 

[14:15]  <mloskot> FrankW:  There is one issue with vs2008 patch
[14:15]  <mloskot> VB6 layer will not be built for all VS2008 editions, not only for Express
[14:15]  <FrankW> right, that's fine.
[14:15]  <mloskot> good

The VC++ 2008 patch has been updated and applied to SVN trunk (r13360).

There is list of drivers built-in using VC++2008 in the attached gdal-formats.txt and ogr-formats.txt files. The build was made using:

  • Xerces 2.8.0
  • Expat 2.0.1
  • libcurl 7.17.1
  • GEOS 3.0.0rc5
  • PROJ.4 4.5.0

One additional note, I also enabled PostgreSQL support using 8.2.5 binaries.

Also, following dependencies were built from sources using Visual C++ 2008: Expat, libcurl, GEOS, PROJ.4. Xerces-C 2.8.0 was used from official binaries dedicated for Visual C++ 2006 (8.0).
