= 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 [wiki: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 (note their production is currently discontinued).

== Linux == 

Slightly out of date RPMs for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUSE_Linux SUSE], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandriva_Linux Mandriva] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_%28Linux_distribution%29 Fedora Core 4] are maintained by GDF Hannover Germany.

== 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 [http://fwtools.maptools.org/ 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/sdk/

These packages are based on the current development and stable branches built from the GDAL SVN daily. The corresponding SDK packages are also available to download from this location.
