GDAL/OGR Binaries

The GDAL project does not produce regular downloadable binaries (executables) for each release. However, a variety of efforts do produce ready to use binaries.

FWTools

The FWTools binary releases for Linux and Windows systems include the full set of GDAL libraries, utilities, python support and documentation along with lots of other stuff (including the OpenEV viewer). More information is available at:

http://fwtools.maptools.org/

The FWTools binaries for Linux should work on pretty much any modern Intel Linux system.

Linux

GDAL RPMs for OpenSuSE together with many other Geo-Tools are provided at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Application:/Geo/

Slightly out of date RPMs for SUSE, Mandriva and Fedora Core 4 are maintained by GDF Hannover Germany.

GDAL 1.4.1, geos 2.2.3 and proj-4.5.0 are now parts of Fedora 7 (Core and Extra have been merged together). You can get the source RPMs or the i386 binaries. GDAL 1.4.2 is available as an update for Fedora 7: source RPMs and i386 binaries

Debian

The Debian GIS team maintains GDAL packages for Debian GNU/Linux.

Ubuntu

Ubuntu 7.04 (feisty) contains GDAL 1.3.1, geos 2.2.1 and proj-4.4.9 in the universe repository.

Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy) contains GDAL 1.4.1, geos 2.2.3 and proj-4.5.0 in the universe repository.

Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy) contains GDAL 1.4.4, geos 2.2.3 and proj-4.6.0 in the universe repository.

Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid) contains GDAL 1.5.2, geos 3.0.0 and proj-4.6.0 in the universe repository.

More recent versions are available in the unofficial Les-ejk UbuntuGIS multiverse repository. For more information, you can consult the UbuntuGIS page.

Unofficial packages of GDAL 1.6.0 for Ubuntu 8.04 i386 (hardy) can be found on Even Rouault home page. You will also find packages for the current development branches from GDAL SVN trunk.

MacOS X

William Kyngesburye maintains an extensive set of framework builds for GDAL and other GIS software at:

http://www.kyngchaos.com/software:frameworks

Windows

Minimalist windows executables are available at:

http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/win32/1.6/gdalwin32exe160.zip

Other plugins will be added in the same location (such as Oracle/OCI):

http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/win32/

A more featureful set of windows binaries, including python, proj and c# support is available as part of the FWTools package.

Windows binaries built in MinGW are available at:

http://map.hut.fi/files/Geoinformatica/win32/

The Geoinformatica-yy-mm-dd.zip contains GDAL (usually a development version), Perl-GDAL, Perl, and many other things.

Tamas Szekeres maintains a complete set of Win32 and Win64 binary packages (compiled with VC2003/VC2005/VC2008) available at the following location.

http://vbkto.dyndns.org:1280/sdk/

These packages are based on the current development and stable branches build from the GDAL SVN regularly.

OSGeo4W

OSGeo4W is a binary distribution of a broad set of open source geospatial software for Win32 environments (Windows XP, Vista, etc). OSGeo4W includes GDAL/OGR, GRASS, MapServer, OpenEV, uDig, as well as many other packages (about 70 as of summer 2008).
