Helmut,
First, I don't recommend it to anybody to compile Geo::GDAL on Windows.
I used to do it regularly using the MinGW/MSYS environment and
self-compiled Perl (now I think I would use Strawberry Perl). Here are
some links to instructions I've written (at least some of them):
http://trac.osgeo.org/geoinformatica/wiki/BuildWithMingw
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/Perl
I tried to build some things in Windows lately (Windows 8 and maybe
64bit) but gave up after some time and frustration. I'm not sure what
the main frustration was (the Geoinformatica stack contains much more
than just Geo::GDAL).
I don't know of binary builds other than what I used to do. My own is
getting a bit old already

Best regards,
Ari

Hello everybody,
in my comming up perl-project I need to use the Geo::Gdal - module. As
I understand I need to compile gdal from sources first and then build
the perl bindings. So far so good, but as I'm not a C/C++ developer I
ran into a host of problems. The first thing I tried, was to install
MinGW and compile gdal with the "--with-perl" option, which ran for
about two hours but broke of with a message complaining that perl 5.8
was not found on my system (I have ActivePerl 5.16 installed) - as far
as I could decipher the message - I tried gdal 1.90 and gdal 1.92.
I then tried to compile it using VC 10 which seemed to work but I
didn't find a possibility where to put the "--with-perl" option -
anyway I tried to compile perl using perl Makefile.PL which imediately
complained about being not able to find gdal-conf (which I couldn't
find either). I guess there would be lots of complaints after that,
but I only got that far.
I'm sure my errors have something to do with setting up paths and
compilation options, but I dont't know which and where to set them.
So here's my question: has anybody a blow by blow account for C/C++
dummies how to set up Geo::Gdal? That would be great!
Another question is how to deploy the finished application to other
computers.
I hope you could understand all of my English and my questions are not
too stupid - but I spend two working days on it so far so I'm a little
desperate now.
Thanks and regards
