Hi Peter, I think you'll have to tell us how you tried to build GDAL in order to get more help. There is a lot of variability, but here's how I recently built both of the versions you mention:
First, I create a file I called "win64.opt" that looks like this: -----8<-------------------------------------------- WIN64=YES GDAL_HOME = d:\gdal-3.4.0 BINDIR = $(GDAL_HOME)\bin64 PLUGINDIR = $(BINDIR)\gdalplugins64 LIBDIR = $(GDAL_HOME)\lib64 OPENSSL_PATH=D:\openssl-1.1.1e SSLLIBS = $(OPENSSL_PATH)/lib/libcrypto.lib $(OPENSSL_PATH)/lib/libssl.lib CURL_DIR = d:\curl-7.69.1 CURL_INC = -I$(CURL_DIR)\include CURL_LIB = $(CURL_DIR)\lib\libcurl_imp.lib $(SSLLIBS) wsock32.lib wldap32.lib winmm.lib PROJ_INCLUDE = -Id:\proj-8.1.1\include PROJ_LIBRARY = d:\proj-8.1.1\lib\proj.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib SQLITE_INC = -Id:\sqlite-3.28.0 SQLITE_LIB = d:\sqlite-3.28.0\sqlite3.lib -----8<-------------------------------------------- Note that you'll have to build PROJ ahead of time first and adjust the above depending on where you install it. Then I build from the VS2019 command prompt with a command line like this nmake -f makefile.vc EXT_NMAKE_OPT=win64.opt devinstall If you just want the binaries and don't plan to build against GDAL, you can use plain "install" instead. (Note that the PROJ and GDAL worlds are moving to Cmake but the above has worked for me for many years.) Hope that helps, carl On Thu, Nov 11, 2021 at 2:39 PM peter vG via gdal-dev < gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org> wrote: > I've been trying to build the binaries for Gdal 3.3.3 (and 3.4.0) using > Visual C++ (via Visual Studio 2019), but I am getting a linking error that > has me scratching my head: LINK : "fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file > 'C:\gdal-3.4.0\lib.obj'".
