More detailed information on specific packages is available on the OSGeo4W Packages wiki page.

Status

Plans

  • Hoping to have a reasonable stable "OSGeo4W 2008" ready for wide use by May 2008.
  • select a Project Steering Committee
  • longer term: enter incubation as an OSGeo project

Build Environment

Each package is built individually on the packager's machine, and then uploaded. There is no need for complete consistency in development environments. So packages might be built with MSVC 6, 7.1, 8, 9, MSYS/MingW and possibly even other compilers. Mixing compilers may be problematic for C++ interfaces, but is generally fine for C interfaces.

Packages used as libraries by other packages should have include files, and stub libraries in the package so the OSGeo4W tree can be used as a "buildkit" for additional packages.

Versions

  • must pick our supported version of Java, perl, PHP, Python, etc. to use throughout installer buildkit
