Greetings, I need some mapping software to plan hiking trips with DRG topo maps, aerial photography, DEMs, and so forth. I've been using OziExplorer under Wine but it has its quirks. I thought I would check out a real GIS solution, and QGIS looks interesting. Before I try it out, though, I need to know if my MrSid data will be usable. (To keep this discussion focused, converting all of my map data to TIFF is "off the table" for now.)
I don't mind building QGIS and its dependencies myself, but I would really like to know beforehand if MrSid support (using the DSDK from LizardTech) is working on Linux. Google turns up some half-answers along the lines of "you should be able to..." and "theoretically all you need to do is...", but I have yet to find a concrete "Yes, I tried it, it works, and here's how." As an added wrinkle, I'm running amd64 Debian, but I do see a claim of 64-bit support in the latest DSDK on the LizardTech web site. So... any success reports, on either x86 or x86-64?
