I am integrating GDAL (open-source project, for geographic translations)library with my application in VS2010. The library source code has multiple folders. Each folder has its own makefile.vc file. I want to compile the library without certain features which are in turn dependent upon other libraries, not available with me. The nmake.opt file already has commented entries for external libraries but still these libraries are being considered by VS compiler and errors are reported. I changed makefile.vc in each of the folders. However, I still get the same error. Finally, I removed entries from vcxproj file to resolve the error. But I think this is not proper way to do so. Does any one know better way to achieve this? Visual Studio IDE does not seem to be providing facilities to detect this kind of issues and resolve them.

Hi Rajesh,
The simplest is certainly to use the VS2010 GDAL and MapServer SDK packages[^].
Otherwise the Visual Studio facility for this kind of issue is the powerful but poorly documented Property Manager[^].
cheers,
