Re: [Swig-devel] Delphi Module

[Lucena, I. <iva...@pm...>]

Hi Stefano,

Are you using the Delphi module developed by Semyon? I guess not.

But if i understand you correctly the one you have is good enough to 
wrap around the C API of GDAL and OGR. Isn't that right?

Are you going to make that public on the GDAL SVN trunk?

One general question:

Do we have anybody developing a official "Delphi" module to SWIG?

By the way, It looks like CodeGear is now calling it "Pascal" again.

Best regards,

Ivan
