compiler error visualc++

[MMHJBOLT@…]

Hello,

I wanted to use the GDAL library to create a computermodel which is capable of
reading ESRI-shape files and rasterfiles. I downloaded the source (gdal119.zip)
from the website. While compiling using visualc++ on Windows98 io got the
following error:

	cd port
	nmake /nologo /f makefile.vc
	cd ..
	cd frmts/iso8211

sdtsdataset.cpp(79) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file:
'gdal_priv.h': No such file or directory


I fixed this by changing line 99 from the file namek.opt to:

INC	=	-I$(GDAL_ROOT)\port -I$(GDAL_ROOT)\ogr -I$(GDAL_ROOT)\gcore


Is this adjustment correct or do other things go wrong?
Why isn't a project file for VC++ distibuted?

Your fix looks fine.  I will look into why this wasn't in the distribution 
build files. 

I don't prepare Visual Studio project files because I am more comfortable 
using NMAKE files, and working from the commandline.  I have no interest in
maintaining more build environments than I actually use. 

[warmerdam]

this is fixed in CVS now. 

Thanks for reporting it.
