Hi,

I'm trying to rebuild gdal to get mrsid and filegdb support
in GRASS and QGIS on Kubuntu 12.04.2.
note you don't actually have to rebuild gdal for that, at
least mrsid can be installed as a plugin.
(same with many license-problematic format filters which can't
be built in by default)
perhaps you just need the libgdal1-dev package installed to
build plugins? (idealy)
I notice that libgdal-mrsid isn't prebuilt for Precise/12.04:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ppa/
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntugis-unstable
you can get the build rules and re-run "debuild" to make your
own package though. Once you get it set up and figured out it's
a very simple one liner to build your own packages.

I'm using the ubuntugis-unstable and ubuntugis-testing
repositories. I'd like to build the gdal packages the
same way as the build in the repositories was built but
with mrsid and filegdb support as well. How can I tell
what options were passed to configure to build the gdal
packages hosted there?
for rebuilding all of the gdal packages with some slight
modifications, what I'd do is get the DebianGIS packaging
rules and rebuild from there (perhaps with slight mod-
ifications as needed).
go to http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGis and scroll down to
the git repo.
you can use the instructions here, they'll work just as well
for GDAL as they do for rebuilding the GRASS packages:
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/debian/README.debian
just swap the names around.
there are many ways to do it... that's just one!
good luck,
Hamish
Thanks for the information. I'll read up on all of these options and
give them a try.
However, from what I can tell, no one has every been able to get mrsid
and filegdb to work with Ubuntu 12.04. I've tried every guideline I
could find online without success. Mostly, the information is outdated.
There seem to be a lot of people in my situation who have tried
everything without success and can't find out if anyone has ever been
able to make it work.
At this point I'm afraid GIS is going to be the end of my 13 years of
exclusive open source use on my desktop.

===========
So this method no longer works for Mrsid (I haven't tried since I
upgraded but it was working prior to 12.04)?
http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki/TutorialMrSid
If I recall correctly gdal-build-mrsid is actually just a helper
script. So even if there isn't a package for the new ubuntu versions
you can grab the files from an older one and poke at it.
I'll contact Ragi and Frank about the Filegdb driver since one of them
is likely to have gotten it working.
Thanks,
Alex
Nope, those directions no longer work. The package
libgdal-mrsid-src is not available for 12.04. Also, the available
lizardtech SDK is now MrSID_DSDK-8.5.0.3422-linux.x86-64.gcc44 which
seems to be a lot newer than the SDK referenced in that tutorial.
Jason
===========
Yes, I know the package isn't available, but what I'm saying is that
package is just a bash script, nothing else. If you look at the source
from a previous version you can do the same steps by hand.
Also here is Ragi's Fabric script for filegdb, no idea if it works on
12.04 (Ragi said it worked last year), but it can be deciphered into how
to do it by hand.
