So I just had some fun trying to get this to work - I thought I would
share...and I have no clue if this should go to the GDAL list or
what....but...
Warning - I stink at scripting complicated things. I do enjoy stupid vi
tricks.
1. Installed libgdal_mrsid_src-1.9.0-2_oneiric on trusty.
2. I had a copy of the MrSid 8.5 DSDK - so I ran with that.
3. Tried - sudo gdal-build-mrsid
$HOME/MrSID_DSDK-8.5.0.3422-linux.x86-64.gcc44 - didn't work. I think
because I ultimately installed the wrong deb. BUT - I'm not enjoying
launchpad like I should.
4. Downloaded the libgdal-mrsid_1.9.0-2~oneiric1.tar.gz file and decided
to start working with that....
5. Uncompressed that file and edited the gdal-mrsid-build.ln file
* it wants to create a directory /usr/lib/gdalplugins/1.9 . Changed
that to /usr/lib/gdalplugins/1.11
* Changed all references to lt_base.h to include the path Raster_DSDK
- Example:
/if [ ! -f "$GEOEXPRESSSDK/Raster_DSDK/include/lt_base.h" -o `grep
'LT_BASE_H' "$GEOEXPRESSSDK/Raster_DSDK/include/lt_base.h" |wc -l` -eq 0
]; then/
* Changed all references in the files contained in
libgdal-mrsid-1.9.0.tar.gz (since that gets copied to /usr/src
* Scripts look for jpeg2000 support in the Lizardtech downloads -
removed all references to libltikdu.a because it doesn't seem to be
in the SDK.
* errored out looking for: libgeotiff is required to build GDAL MrSID
driver
I haven't given up yet - but decided to take a break and keep making
notes. There is a brand new Sid SDK out - version 9 but I didn't want to
try that one..... yet.

I don't do linux, but I'm sure it's possible - the MrSID SDK exists for
linux. I use a simple custom makefile to make it as a GDAL plugin, using
an installed GDAL. Ask on the GDAL mailing list, someone may have already
done it.

Is there a way to port this to Linux as we are now the odd man
out......and Sid files drive me an extra 6 minutes and about 6.5 GB of
difficulty every time I run into one.

Check my site. The GDAL framework that you should have installed also
has a separately downloadable plugin for the MrSID format.

I need to be able to display MrSID files made available by the state
GIS department. I had them running on QGIS 1.8, OSX 10.6.8, but I’m
not sure what I did back then. Have searched the Web as best I can
and haven’t found any instructions for current QGIS with a current OS.
Can anyone help?
Seems to me at one point I saw some directions for getting 1.4 to read
MrSID, but I can’t find them. I’m doing GIS volunteer work for Mass
Audubon Society, and a lot of their raster stuff is MrSID. (They use
ArcGIS; I can’t afford it.) --
