When building from source on Windows, it is important to know that setup.py cannot rely on gdal-config, which is only present on UNIX systems. On Windows, these paths need to be provided by the user. You will need to find the include files and the library files for gdal and use setup.py
The GDAL DLL files and gdal-data directory need to be in your Windows PATH otherwise building Fiona will fail to work.
