KMSTrans2 depends on GDAL/OGR
for transformation of data sources in the batch tab as well as for
displaying a coast line in the map window. Currently only the OGR
part of GDAL is used to transform vector data.
For all operating systems, except Windows, KMSTrans2 will use a
'system install' of GDAL, i.e. the GDAL libraries and dependencies
must be installed in locations pointed to by relevant environment
variables.
A prepackaged version of KMSTrans2 with prebuilt
binaries will come also with a (minimal) GDAL installation,
which the binaries are linked against (currently gdal110.dll).
The directory layout of the default GDAL installation is
(relative to the root directory of KMSTrans2):
gdal ->
bin
(subfolder containing gdal binaries, e.g. gdalxxx.dll and other
dependencies)
gdal-data (subfolder
containing gdal data files)
plugins (subfolder containing
optional gdal plugins)
There are several ways of customizing the used gdal installation:
The GDAL installation can also be customized from the 'GDAL settings' dialog, which is opened from the 'Settings' menu:
Or:
If you build the binaries yourself with the included build script
- build.py - it is up to you to
choose an appropriate GDAL installation/version to link against.
