[Cartoweb-users] GDAL_DATA environment variable

[Simone Frigerio]

Hi!
I need to define an index file with gdalindex for a lot of raster. I found the executable binary to download, but i have some doubts on the installation; 
Bin directory is put on my path (DATA for example). Then I have to define the GDAL_DATA environment variable to point to gdalwin32-1.6\data
directory. What does it mean exactly. In DATA folder I have my raster, but how I can configure GDAL for those files?
Sorry It's the first time I use GDALindex...
Thanks
Friz
