[GIS] Building GDAL With Read/Write Support of FileGDB

file-geodatabasegdal

Has anyone been successful in building gdal with read/write support of file geodatabases? I am able to build successfully, just never see FileGDB as in the supported vector formats. Here is what I am doing:

Download latest gdal trunk (example: gdalsvn-trunk-20110822.zip)
Open the makegdal10.sln file in Visual Studio 2010
Edit the nmake.opt file, the ONLY thing I modify at this point is the GDAL_HOME variable, the FGDB section is still commented out. Everything else left as is.
Build Solution
——>SUCCESS
Uncomment the FGDB Section and set path to FGDB SDK
Open Visual Studio command line tools and cd to /ogr/ogrsf_frmts/filegdb
Execute nmake /f makefile.vc plugin
——>SUCCESS – I now have ogr_FileGDB.dll in that folder

Now, I copy the ogr_FileGDB.dll and the FileGDBAPI.dll to the bin folder containing ogr2ogr.exe. When I run ogr2ogr –formats, I never get FileGDB as a format.

Am I missing something here?

You need to define the GDAL_DRIVER_PATH environnement variable to point to the path where you put ogr_FileGDB.dll. Make sure also that the filegdb sdk DLLs are accessible in the PATH or put them next to ogr_FileGDB.dll. I've updated http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/FileGDB to be more explicit about that

[GIS] Building FGDB support for GDAL 1.10 on Ubuntu

This is my procedure to install gdal 1.10 (from source) with FileGDB_API support enabled on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS client.

--> Assuming that

don't use ubuntuGIS repository to install gdal/ogr (in this case);
"libFileGDBAPI library" is already installed ( I used "/usr/local/FileGDB_API" as default location);

cd /path/to/gdalSourceDirectory
./configure --with-fgdb=/usr/local/FileGDB_API
make
make install

[GIS] Building GDAL with libKML support

I clearly didn't use it at the moment but following the GDAL official Travis build configuration file should help you sort out the issue.

Just for info, this configuration file is for testing GDAL code on Ubuntu.

Trying on my computer only GDAL with kml integration, it works after below operations when testing with official example:

wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/etc-data.koordinates.com/gdal-travisci/install-libkml-r864-64bit.tar.gz
tar xzf install-libkml-r864-64bit.tar.gz
sudo cp -r install-libkml/include/* /usr/local/include
sudo cp -r install-libkml/lib/* /usr/local/lib
sudo ldconfig
wget http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/1.11.1/gdal-1.11.1.tar.gz
tar xvzf gdal-1.11.1.tar.gz
cd gdal-1.11.1
# Prefix is pointing to my empty directory to not mix with my other GDAL install
./configure --prefix=$HOME/gdal-compile --with-libkml
make
make install
ldconfig
export PATH=$HOME/gdal-compile/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/gdal-compile:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
