You could try downloading the source package for gdal and modifying
the debian/rules file to add the necessary --with-FileGDB and
--with-MRSID=... lines. Installing the modified gdal with the package
manager should allow it to be used with the stable QGIS from the
ubuntuGIS repo and the development version from debian-nightly. I've
never actually done this with ubuntu/debian but I do the equivalent on
Arch Linux. For ubuntu you would do something like:

mkdir ~/build
cd ~/build
sudo apt-get build-dep gdal
apt-get source gdal
cd gdal-1.10.0 # or whatever directory it unpacks...
nano debian/rules
##edit file to include the necessary --with-FileGDB and --with-MrSID
lines and cd back to the main package directory and build the package:
cd ..
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -nc

install the packages with something along the lines of
sudo dpkg -i gdal*

Assuming that worked, you would then probably want to put a hold on
gdal so it doesn't get updated and lose your customizations.

disclaimer: I have never tried this with ubuntu, but that appears to
be the general flow from a little bit of googling.

Hi Eric,
thanx a ton for your input.
I'm still quite unfamiliar with building from source and how all these things play together.

What I still do not get is, why my requirements seem to be so "exotic", that there is no easier way for all this. But maybe I manage to solve all this and maybe post it somewhere.
Lots of googling ahead ... after already googling a lot.

I assume that too, but how would I do "put a hold on gdal"?


Cheers
Bernd

Thanx Remi for bringing this up ... I didn't dare to ...

The problem with compiling the dev version imho is, that you will have to
recompile it permanently if you are trying to be of any help with bug
tracking, am I right? (Haven't compiled anything yet, cause I don't get rid
of the knots in my brain)

On the other hand, to use QGIS "professionaly", I need GDAL with FGDB and
MrSID support, so I will have to compile GDAL myself beforehand.
But wanting to use it for work, I better not use the master version but the
stable.

So, as I see it, it would be much better to compile the stable version and
then get the master version for the candies and the testing from
debian-nightly.
But all guidelines propose it the other way round, which I do not really
understand ...

Said this, when I want to compile the stable version instead of the master,
but with a "handmade" GDAL, is there any way to take benefit from the
ubuntugis-unstable repository (things I can install beforehand and then
disabling the repository again)?

As I said, I have knots in my brain on this and never managed to have a nice and easy environment on Ubuntu as I have with Windows (which is saaaad....)
Can someone help me with the surgery?

Cheers
Bernd

The only non-compile way I can think of on an Ubuntu box would be to run
a virtual machine. Otherwise you have to compile to avoid package
manager conflicts.

So up to you which is more time/hassle to setup.

Enjoy,

AFAIK, you have to build your own version (preferrably master) with a
different install prefix (e.g. /home/softdev/), and when you want to use
that version you need to add relevant paths to PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

I have a shell function that sets this up on demand:

setup_softdev()
{
export SOFT_PREFIX=/home/softdev
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/softdev/lib"
export LIBRARY_PATH=/home/softdev/lib
export LD_RUN_PATH=/home/softdev/lib
export PATH=/home/softdev/bin:$PATH
export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/home/softdev/include
export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/home/softdev/include
export CPPFLAGS=-I/home/softdev/include
export PYTHONPATH=/home/softdev/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
export GDAL_DATA=/home/softdev/share/gdal

export -f setup_softdev

Hi list,

I'm wondering if there is there a simple way to run stable and master
versions of QGIS on Ubuntu? By simple, I mean - if possible - without
compile QGIS from source.

For now, as described in doc [1], I edit /etc/apt/sources.list to define
which repository to use : http://qgis.org/debian or
http://qgis.org/debian-nightly. But doing like this, I cannot run the two
versions at the same time.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Rémi
