Hello everyone,
Today I am also testing the FileGDB support, and I was surprised to find
that a wiki page in GDAL's 'buildhints' section had not been created, to
record all of this great testing and discussion....so others don't need
to search the mailing list. I have begun the document here, with my
Windows notes: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/FileGDB
Please anyone that has went through testing already please update that
page with your own notes.
(I'd like to see this creating-a-buildhints-page as mandatory for any
new format)
Thanks!

Hello list,
I am trying to test a new version of the FileGDB driver for OGR, but I
lack enough FileGDBs to test :)
If you have an *ArcGIS 10* FileGDB and would like to test the FileGDB
driver (and report back), feel free to grab a gdal-trunk binary I made
for Windows.
All I want to know is if it works with polygons and lines, so feel free
to test it with those types.
Known issues with build / FileGDB driver
- (driver issue) blobs and date fields are not handled at all
- (driver issue) read-only (for now)
- (build issue) I didn't include geos (means spatial operations will be
bounding-box based)
- (build issue) I didn't include the proj libraries (means a change of
coordinate system will not work)
you can use it like this:
//create kml from FileGDB class
ogr2ogr -f "KML" out2.kml
C:\Users\rburhum\Desktop\FileGDB_API_VS2008_1_0beta3\samples\data\ExecuteSQL.gdb
"Cities"
//create shapefile
ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" myshape.shp
C:\Users\rburhum\Desktop\FileGDB_API_VS2008_1_0beta3\samples\data\ExecuteSQL.gdb
"Cities"
You can find the test binaries at
