[gdal-dev] Build OGR with ESRI SDE

[Mullins, Steven]

I am interested in using OGR to read data from an ArcSDE (9.2-9.3) database.  The manual page at http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_sde.html indicates that GDAL must be compiled "with the ESRI provided ArcSDE client libraries".  

Before I sink a lot a time into this, can anyone share their experience compiling OGR with ESRI libraries for SDE?  What specific steps need to be taken to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Steve
