Hi, Depending on what you need, I've found using VCPKG (https://vcpkg.io/en/) can make it straightforward to address the dependencies *of* GDAL, and it's all driven by CMake underneath, like GDAL's builds. Importantly, it is well tested and supported on Windows. That means you end up spending your time on GDAL/PROJ rather than why libpng or another sub-dependency isn't building properly.
And if you don't need to track GDAL/PROJ super-closely, VCPKG itself mostly tracks recent releases (eg: right now GDAL 3.10 and PROJ 9.5.1). It does have a bit of a learning curve though; and things like python bindings add extra complexity. HTH, Rob :)
