Building GDAL in Microsoft Visual Studio 2013

[Teva]

Hello,

I have been trying to build GDAL from source code. The following are the steps that I followed. I have been using visual studio 2013 but, I don't see the makefileproj_vs12 solution file after I followed the steps.

Please help me to build GDAL in visual studio.

Thanks, Teva

Steps for generating Visual Studio GDAL =======================================

1. Get the GDAL source. The download instructions are on the GDAL site.
2. Unzip it to create your GDAL folder, e.g. "gdal-2.0.0"
3. Open a command prompt, go to that folder.

nmake -f makefile.vc nmake -f makefile.vc devinstall

4. Use makegdal_gen.bat script available in GDAL source code tree:

Parameters:

1 : Visual C++ version is not the same as Visual Studio version ( => 10.0 ) 2 : Windows platform 32 for Win32 and 64 for Win64 3 : Base file name, with no path and no extension (*)

Examples:

makegdal_gen.bat 10.1 32 makefileproj_vs10 makegdal_gen.bat 11.0 32 makefileproj_vs11 makegdal_gen.bat 12.0 32 makefileproj_vs12 makegdal_gen.bat 14.0 32 makefileproj_vs14

5. configure nmake.opt (or nmake.local) as usual
6. execute: makegdal_gen.bat 14.0 32 makefileproj_vs14
7. Launch VS2015 IDE File > Open > Project/Solution...
8. Select makefileproj_vs14.vcxproj
9. You may also have to add in Windows SDK library paths in the project's "VC++ Directories" configuration properties

There has been very recent work in GDAL trunk regarding makegdal_gen.bat renamed as generate_vcxproj.bat : ​https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/GeneratingVisualStudioProject
