Compile

Windows (Visual Studio 2008)

You will have to compile filegdb as a plugin for GDAL:

1. Compile GDAL with the FGDB section commented

2. Now edit your nmake.opt so it contains something like the following (pay attention to the FGDB_SDK path):

  FGDB_ENABLED = YES
  FGDB_PLUGIN = YES
  FGDB_SDK = $(GDAL_HOME)\..\FileGDB_API_VS2008_1_0Final
  FGDB_INC = $(FGDB_SDK)\include
  FGDB_LIB = $(FGDB_SDK)\lib\FileGDBAPI.lib

3. Next, cd to the /ogr/ogrsf_frmts/filegdb directory

4. Execute the following:

  nmake /f makefile.vc plugin

A file named ogr_FileGDB.dll should be generated.

5. You will also need the file FileGDB_API_VS2008_1_0Final/bin/FileGDBAPI.dll
