[gdal-dev] Windows builds and wildcard usage for gdaltindex & gdalbuildvrt

[Armin Burger]

Hi all

I wanted to use a more recent Windows build than the latest FW Tools 
which are a bit old now. I used the binaries from


http://vbkto.dyndns.org/sdk/PackageList.aspx?file=release-1310-gdal-1-8-0-mapserver-5-6-6.zip

All works fine, just the usage of wildcards in tools like gdaltindex or 
gdalbuildvrt does not work any more. If I run eg


gdaltindex tileindex.shp *.tif

I just get the error that the file "*.tif" could not be found. Same 
happens for gdalbuildvrt.exe.  So the wildcard resolution seems not to 
work any more (it still did work in the last FWTools 2.4.7). For 
gdaltindex I can use a "for" loop command because it adds every tif to 
the same shape, but I don't think this workaround works for the 
gdalbuildvrt.


On Linux builds the wildcards usage still works fine with GDAL 1.8. Any 
ideas if this will be fixed for Windows?

Armin / Tamas,

For this the SETARGV macro in nmake.opt needs to reference an appropriate
setargv.obj object file from the visual studio tree.  The default is
commented out:

#SETARGV =  $(VCDIR)\lib\setargv.obj

On Unix and unix like shells such as cygwin on windows the shell performs
expansion of wildcards in filenames.  On the Windows CMD.EXE command processor
this is not the case, and the setargv.obj provides a default implementation
of wildcard expansion.

Perhaps Tamas could enable this for his builds.

Best regards,

Hi Armin,

I've just added wildcard support to the builds at
http://vbkto.dyndns.org/sdk/ according to Frank's suggestion. The
corresponding binaries should be available with the next daily builds.

Best regards,

Tamas

Tamas, Frank

thanks a lot for the quick response to this issue (I just noticed 
today...). I will download the new Windows binaries.
