= Building On Unix with NetBeans IDE =

The instructions below explain how to import GDAL building infrastructure to [http://www.netbeans.org/ NetBeans IDE] to be able to build GDAL directly from the IDE. Tested with NetBeans IDE 6.5 on Linux thanks to Ivan Lucena who originally [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2009-January/019655.html posted] them on the mailing list.
