GDAL-1.7.1 : vcvarsall.bat missing

[kBob]

I am attempting to install the GDAL bindings (GDAL-1.7.1) on a
Windows XP Desktop with Python 2.6 and GDAL. During install, the
script finishes with "error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat".

What dependencies am I missing?

Thanks for the tips, gentlemen.

I'll try my luck with Cygwin's ggc before I look into another C/C++
compiler.

If it suits your needs, you can wire the OSGEO installation of GDAL
to a python.org python installation (rather than a bundled OSGEO
python interpreter, which is another option):

http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/

Setting the correct paths was enough to get the basic things I used
to work (but I haven't used it extensively).

Giovanni Bajo packages a version of MinGW GCC for use with Python:

http://www.develer.com/oss/GccWinBinaries

He does note on the page that the MinGW project isn't quite so sure
that GCC 4.x is ready for release.

Thanks again for the tips. Your suggestions are very helpful.

I was able to get the FWTools installed on the Windows Desktop. It
worked out very well. No issues with the GDAL included in this set of
binaries.

However, I am intrigued with the OSGeo Project, especially with the Qt
binaries included. After understanding GDAL, I'll have to build some
GUI applications to display the GeoTIFF, MrSID, and JPG2000. I was
planning to use Tkinter, but with Qt available from OSgeo4W, it will
give me an opportunity to explorer the GUI development offer by this
package.
