Does anyone know or have instructions on how to build GDAL 1.8 (http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadSource) from source on Windows XP? I can't find any Windows executable for this version (still only available for 1.6.3). Note that I am NOT looking for a bloated version accompanied by other software.
EDIT: I tried the outdated instructions given in some of the links below, and they are not at all useful. Can someone who has had success with this give clear steps (version 1.8 is now available, so steps on building that version would be even better)?
