[Qgis-developer] GDAL 1.11 new formats

Fri May 23 01:43:52 PDT 2014

Hi Stefan,

Are you able to open SOSI files in QGIS? In 64 bit QGIS master (as you mentioned I don’t get the option for SOSI files in 32 bit), I get a dialog asking me if I want to load the points, lines or polygons from the SOSI file, but then I just get an error message telling me that it is not a valid data source.

Hi Larry,

I tried now with QGIS 2.3 nightly build (2.3.0-81) in OSGeo4W.
When I try to open a SOSI file in QGIS I still get the “Invalid Source” error message.
The gdal-sosi-plugin package in OSGeo4W is built against GDAL 1.10. Can that be a problem? Will I have to rebuild the plugin against GDAL 1.11 in order to make it accessible for QGIS (ogrinfo --format lists SOSI).
Or is the solution to install OSGeo4W from scratch?

Any other ideas?

Cheers
Stefan

I second Stefan's comments. Having direct SOSI support will really strengthen the position of QGIS here in Norway.

We do a lot of work with SOSI, and it would be great to open (and eventually edit) SOSI files directly rather than having to convert them first.

I added an extension filter for SOSI to QGIS master [0].

Also, for Mac, I added Homebrew formulae for the OpenFYBA lib (fyba) [1] and a GDAL/OGR shared plugin (gdal-sosi) [2]. The SOSI support was recently added to the base GDAL formula (gdal) [3], so recompiling it after installation of fyba will also work, e.g.:
$ brew tap osgeo/osgeo4mac
$ brew update
Then...

$ brew upgrade gdal   <-- this will install 1.11.0 'bottle,' if not already done
$ brew install fyba
$ brew install gdal-sosi  <-- installs ogr_SOSI.dylib plugin in HOMEBREW_PREFIX/lib/gdalplugins/

Or...
$ brew install fyba
$ brew reinstall gdal --build-from-source --enable-unsupported
QGIS built against GDAL/OGR 1.11 with the sample .sos file loaded [4].
Please submit any issues with fyba or gdal-sosi formulae to OSGeo4Mac tracker [5].

Yes, though I have to admit that I have no experience with building GDAL with SOSI support on Mac, but I know that the underling OpenFYBA lib has been successfully build on Mac, so I assume the Unix build hints should apply for Mac also  for GDAL/OGR.

Probably I should note, that the free map data of the Norwegian Mapping Authority (http://data.kartverket.no/download/) also come in SOSI format (vector)...

Cheers
Stefan

Hello Stefan,

That is very interesting.  Are all of your notes included on the GDAL Buildhints page, for Windows and Linux/Mac?
