Even,

 

I didn’t save the exact message but it was fairly non descriptive.  It was 
something like BUILD_FAILED.  Sorry, my bad for not saving the exact message.  
It sounds like it may have just been my environment and if it’s not critical 
then I can live without it.  If no one else is complaining then I wouldn’t 
waste time looking into it.  If I have time later I will try to rebuild and 
reproduce the error, it just takes an hour to build so can’t do it right now.  
Thanks for your help though!

  

Best regards,

Martin Chapman

Martin,

what error messages did you get when trying with FreeXL ?

Removing the FreeXL dependency removes support for the old prior-to-Excel-2007 
binary XLS format. So usually not a big deal

All,

 

I tried to build GDAL 3.11.0 from https://vcpkg.io/en/package/gdal and FreeXL 
kept failing on my Windows 11 box using Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 
2022 (64-bit) – Current Version 17.14.7.  To resolve the issue I built a 
custom-overlay port and removed FreeXL from the build and then everything built 
great.  I tried to just build FreeXL using VCPKG and that failed so I was 
wondering if it’s just my machine that is messed up or are others having issues 
as well?  By removing FreeXL will I be crippling any other drivers that may 
depend on it?  I looked at the docs and it didn’t seem that important?  Also, 
is there a way to specify what drivers not to build without doing a 
custom-overlay port?

 

Best regards,

Martin Chapman
