Hello GDAL-dev,

It seems that the MrSID support built into GDAL was based on an older 
version of Lizardtech's MrSID SDK (Visual Studio 6.0 version).

Does anyone have an updated mrsiddataset.cpp that supports the latest MrSID 
SDK from Lizardtech (Visual Studio 7.0 version)?


GDAL MrSID support:

gdal-1.1.9\frmts\mrsid\mrsiddataset.cpp


I bought the $500 MrSID SDK from Lizardtech


I obtained 2 files from ftp.lizardtech.com


1.  Win6_DSDK.sda.exe

-  for Visual Studio 6.0
-  failure compiling examples; linker errors
-  GDAL appears to support these data structures

2.  Win7_DSK.sda.exe

-  for Visual Studio .NET (2002, 2003)
-  success compiling examples
-  GDAL doesn't support the new data structures


I am running Visual Studio .NET 2003 Pro on WinXP Pro (3 GHz CPU, 2 GB RAM)
