[Gdal-dev] MrSID and GDAL

[Chapman, Martin]

Yar,

You need to download the DSDK as Kirk mentioned.  Then go to the gdal
directory and uncomment the config options in the nmake.opt file that
pertain to MRSID driver. Then rebuild gdal using the instructions on the
gdal homepage http://www.gdal.org. I actually updated my mrsid driver
yesterday and it worked fine.  The only note is that the current mrsid
driver implementation in gdal is very slow for known reasons.  Andrey
knows about this issue and is planning to address it this weekend.
However, you should still be able to read mrsid.

If you need more help I am glad to help you out.

Martin

Hi, Please Help!!!

I need help with displaying MrSID images on mapserver. I don't need to
convert MrSID into a different format but display MrSID's on my
mapserver. Would anyone have a compiled Win32 binary with GDAL and DSDK?
I tried downloading fwtools, but there is no LizardTech DSDK in there. I
realize that DSDK is proprietary and comes solely from LizardTech, but
would anyone be willing to share his/her binaries? I also went here:
http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/, but there are no clear
instructions as to how to make it work.

Also, I'm trying to convert .shp files into .dbf (my .shp is huge, I
would like to load data from MySQL database) I got instructions from
here: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?MySQL
But again, there are no clear instructions for Windows. I'm having
problems with the last step, that is installing Shapelib. I do nmake on
my Windows XP machine, but then I get all sorts of errors in makefile.pl

Again, does anyone, by any chance, have clear step-by-step instructions
or binaries for running shp2mysql.pl on windows?

I would really appreciate your help! Please feel free to contact me at
numerous at gmail.com

Yar
