Notes:
= Windows version (alpha) =
The components in install-starspan-win32-1.2.03.jar are:
StarSpan 1.2.03 alpha
GDAL 1.5.2 with default supported formats (*)
GEOS 2.2.3
(*) If NetCDF support is desired, please see below.
== Installing ==
The installer is a Java program, so it requires your system
to have a Java Runtime Environment:
http://java.com
Once this is available it should be enough just to
double-click on the installer file. If this doesn't do
anything or incorrectly "opens" the file as a ZIP, then it
needs to be manually launched from the command line:
* open a command window
* go to the directory containing the installer
* Run the command:
java -jar <THE-JAR-FILE>
then, follow the instructions (select a destination
directory to install the program).
The executable programs can be run from the command line as well.
== NetCDF support ==
windows-gdal-1.5.2-netcdf-3.6.2.zip contains the required
binaries that provide NetCDF support in GDAL and thus in
StarSpan. To install the NetCDF support you just need to
unzip the archive into the bin/ directory where you
installed StarSpan.
**NOTE**: The compiled NetCDF library for Windows was
obtained directly from http://www.miscdebris.net/blog/2008/05/02/mingw-binaries-of-netcdf-362/.
Besides a successful rebuild of GDAL using these binaries,
we just did a very minimal testing. If you run into any
problems, re-install StarSpan to undo the NetCDF changes.
Changes:
New --validate_inputs flag.
