Also, for Mac, I added Homebrew formulae for the OpenFYBA lib (fyba) [1] and a GDAL/OGR shared plugin (gdal-sosi) [2]. The SOSI support was recently added to the base GDAL formula (gdal) [3], so recompiling it after installation of fyba will also work, e.g.: $ brew tap osgeo/osgeo4mac $ brew update Then... $ brew upgrade gdal <-- this will install 1.11.0 'bottle,' if not already done $ brew install fyba $ brew install gdal-sosi <-- installs ogr_SOSI.dylib plugin in HOMEBREW_PREFIX/lib/gdalplugins/ Or... $ brew install fyba $ brew reinstall gdal --build-from-source --enable-unsupported QGIS built against GDAL/OGR 1.11 with the sample .sos file loaded [4]. Please submit any issues with fyba or gdal-sosi formulae to OSGeo4Mac tracker [5].
