<div>Hi Art, <br>
<br>
So I've got QGIS running on windows and linux. I haven't tried to
compile file geodatabase support into my linux install (that's on
my list to do). On my windows install I'm running OSGeo4Win -
adding file based geodatabase support was easy - I just added the
"module" and had support (I'm currently on my linux machine and
not near my windows machine - or I would tell you exactly what I
added). <br>
<br>
My windows machine is running Windows 7 64bit - my linux machine
is running xubuntu. I own a consulting business and have ArcGIS
running on my windows machine. There's not way I'm ever going to
windows 8. So I'm sticking with windows 7 for ESRI and migrating
as much of my workflow over to linux as I can...as I tell people -
A clip is a clip and a buffer is a buffer. So I'll do what I can
on linux and when I have to go with ESRI I'll jump over to
windows. <br>
<br>
Now that I read all of this - I should really try to compile file
based support on this laptop over the weekend. <br>

two options right now. I am a Linux lover, and I am investigating
compiling the Esri File Geodatabase API on Linux. However, the
other option is to handle it all through Windows, probably using
OsGeo4Win. That means I would probably have to make a switch to
Windows. I do have a copy of ESRI's ArcGIS that will work until
August that was given to me for a GIS Course, so I will have that
option for some time but it will not be permanent. Does anyone
have a recommended course of action? I have attached the results
from my last compile attempt involving the File Geodatabase API. I
have not found a detailed set of compiling instructions to make
and install it, and am uncertain as to how I should proceed
further.
