QGIS package with new raster providers
I have created an OSGeo4W-compatible QGIS package from the raster-providers branch (r15015) and uploaded it to the forum. As the name suggests, developers in this branch are working on optimising raster providers; in particular, one of the results will be support for on-the-fly raster reprojection (already available for the GDAL provider).
QGIS has been built with GRASS and Python support and uses GDAL 1.7.3 (all dependencies are from OSGeo4W). To use it:
- install QGIS and all its dependencies using the OSGeo4W installer
- download the package from the forum thread
- extract the contents of the package to the OSGeo4W root directory (by default this is
C:\OSGeo4W) - open the OSGeo4W shell and run
qgis-raster.bat
