Matthias,
MrSID is supported through GDAL. This is a new devlopment. Here is what
Frank has posted on this list (2003/22/08):
"This is a new development. MrSID support was implemented by Andrey
Kiselev in the last 2 months under a contract from i-Cubed specifically
to allow use of MrSID in MapServer.
On Linux (and presumably other Unix platforms) you would configure with
the --with-mrsid=(dir) switch. The MrSID DSDK on Linux requires a very
specific version of gcc, so everything else (GDAL, and MapServer) will
need to be compiled with the same version.
On Windows set the MRSID_HOME variable in the GDAL nmake.opt file.
Some additional details are available in the GDAL "building from source"
page, and in MrSID format page itself. Followups on build problems
should go to the gdal-dev list.
I would add that due to the licensing of the MrSID libraries, I am
unable to redistribute binaries of GDAL utilities or MapServer with
MrSID support. You will need to license the DSDK from Lizardtech and
build GDAL yourself. "
best regards
Oliver
