A few days ago, I published my second HOWTO dedicated to Quantum GIS developers using Visual C++ under Windows. The whole series is devoted to using Visual C++ 2005 compiler to build QT library and to start QGIS development on Widows.
Similarly to the first one, the second tutorial has been also published on the QGIS Wiki, titled as Building Quantum GIS with Visual C++ 2005.
Today, Sunburned Surveyor announced on the freegis-list@intevation.de about new geospatial discussion group launched on Google Groups. The group has been called GeospatialGeometry. It’s available on Google Groups under following location:
http://groups.google.com/group/GeospatialGeometry/
What is GeospatialGeometry group for?
This group provides a place to describe geometries used in geospatial applications. This includes geometry types, and operations and algorithms on geometries. It is geared towards geospatial application developers, with an emphasis on open source software.
Yesterday, I started small series of articles dedicated for Quantum GIS developers which want to work on Windows and use Visual C++ 2005 IDE to develop QGIS. The first article is devoted to QT compilation. Next, I’ll try to explain process of building Quantum GIS using VC++ 2005.
I’ve just uploaded sample project files for VC++ 8.0 for Windows CE platform on GDAL/OGR CVS repository. So, now it’s possible to build OGR port for Windows CE using VC++ 8.0 – latest C++ compiler from Microsoft. For more details I suggest to take read README file located in wince directory on CVS. I also invite you to read announcement about Windows CE port of OGR I posted about two weeks ago.
Remember, you need VC++ installed from Visual Studio Standard Edition or Visual Studio Professional Edition. Unfortunately, free Express Edition won’t work. Here is detailed comparison of Visual Studio editions
