Hi Art,
So I've got QGIS running on windows and linux. I haven't tried to
compile file geodatabase support into my linux install (that's on my
list to do). On my windows install I'm running OSGeo4Win - adding file
based geodatabase support was easy - I just added the "module" and had
support (I'm currently on my linux machine and not near my windows
machine - or I would tell you exactly what I added).
My windows machine is running Windows 7 64bit - my linux machine is
running xubuntu. I own a consulting business and have ArcGIS running on
my windows machine. There's not way I'm ever going to windows 8. So I'm
sticking with windows 7 for ESRI and migrating as much of my workflow
over to linux as I can...as I tell people - A clip is a clip and a
buffer is a buffer. So I'll do what I can on linux and when I have to go
with ESRI I'll jump over to windows.
Now that I read all of this - I should really try to compile file based
support on this laptop over the weekend.

I have two options right now. I am a Linux lover, and I am
investigating compiling the Esri File Geodatabase API on Linux.
However, the other option is to handle it all through Windows,
probably using OsGeo4Win. That means I would probably have to make a
switch to Windows. I do have a copy of ESRI's ArcGIS that will work
until August that was given to me for a GIS Course, so I will have
that option for some time but it will not be permanent. Does anyone
have a recommended course of action? I have attached the results from
my last compile attempt involving the File Geodatabase API. I have not
found a detailed set of compiling instructions to make and install it,
and am uncertain as to how I should proceed further.
