This document provides guidance on deploying applications that use the WorldWind GDAL libraries.

Version

WorldWind uses GDAL version 1.7.2, and LizardTech’s Decode SDK version 7.0.0.2167.

Supported Platforms

WorldWind supports Windows 32/64-bit, Linux 32/64-bit, and Mac OSX. The WorldWind SDK therefore contains
GDAL, PROJ4, and MRSiD binaries for the following platforms:

• MacOSX universal
• Windows 32-bit and Windows 64-bit
• Linux 32-bit and Linux 64-bit

WorldWind GDAL Libraries

To simplify deployment, our GDAL+PRO4+MRSID bundles are compiled as a single dynamic library which has all dependent
libraries statically compiled. As a result we have one dynamic library “gdalall” per OS / per platform. Each platfor
library is located under the “lib-external/gdal/” folder.

GDAL and PROJ4 libraries require data tables located in the lib-external/gdal/data folder. We recommend placing these
tables in the “data” sub-folder.

WWJ attempts to locate GDAL bundles during the startup. By default WWJ will first look for GDAL native binaries in the
current path, then in to the lib-external/gdal/ folder. If no GDAL bundle was found WorldWind attempts to locate the
GDAL bundle in the sub-folders. Therefore we recommend one of two options:

1. Place the GDAL libraries in the folder “lib-external/gdal”.
2. Place the GDAL libraries in the application’s root folder.
