[OSGeo-Discuss] GDAL and Java on Windows (and FileGDB too)

[Andrea Aime]

Hi all,
I'm currently trying to setup some instructions to use GeoServer with the
GDAL/OGR store. Linux wise, I have had no particular problems,
but I'm falling a bit short on the Windows side.

I've looked around, tried many solutions and installers, but it seems the
only package providing prebuilt GDAL binaries with Java support
is
http://download.gisinternals.com/sdk/downloads/release-1900-x64-gdal-2-4-0-mapserver-7-2-1.zip
The GDAL core installer (MSI) does not seem to come with Java support
instead. Nor does OSGeo4w, as far I can tell.

So in the end I have a working solution, but not sure how much Windows
users will be amenable to use a random zip instead of
an installer, and I'm trying to get the installation steps for the OGR
store as smooth as possible.

Also, I was hoping to test out the FileGDB driver [1], which is pre-built
and included in the zip above, but with little success.
I have downloaded the ESRI binary SDK (the 1.3 one, pointed by the GDAL
format description page),
put the libs in the path, moved the FileDGB driver from plugins-external to
plugins,
but nope, trying to use it will just segfault any app instantly (even just
ogrinfo). Maybe I'm just missing some step here?

Cheers
Andrea

[1] the OpenFileGBD I'm already using and working fine for small files, but
very slow for large ones due to lack of on-disk
     spatial index support, that's why I also wanted to try out the FileGDB
one
