    5050=== Can I get a MS Visual Studio Project file for GDAL? ===

    52 The GDAL developers find it more convenient to build with makefiles and the [http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd9y37ha(vs.80).aspx Visual Studio NMAKE] utility. Maintaining a parallel set of project files for GDAL is too much work, so there are no project files directly available from the maintainers. Occasionally other users do prepare such project files, and you may be able to get them by asking on the [http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev/ gdal-dev list]. However, I would strongly suggest you just use the NMAKE based build system. With debugging enabled you can still debug into GDAL with Visual Studio.

     54There are very simple project files available since GDAL/OGR 1.4.0 that just invoke the makefiles for building, but make debugging somewhat more convenient.  These are the makegdal71.sln and makegdal80.sln files in the GDAL root directory.
