<body><div>Hi Josef,</div><div><br></div><div>yes, I do want to have "stable" qgis with fdgb (+mrsid) support AND master for testing/new features, and yes, I already found your blog and also managed to build gdal on a virtual machine. But as with all those blogs, there is the "glue" missing.</div><div>For example I never found a text describing building gdal AND using the rest from the repositories. Normally, they only cover building everything and only latest versions and master and other cutting edge stuff, but simple how-tos how to set-up an easy to maintain system comparable what you get on windows out of the box with osgeo4w seem not to exist. </div><div>Fortunately, Alex and Eric already gave some very important hints.</div><div> <br>>> Assuming that worked, you would then probably want to put a hold on<br>>> gdal so it doesn't get updated and lose your customizations.<br>> I assume that too, but how would I do "put a hold on gdal"?<br><br>>It's called Pinning in the debian world. In synaptic you highlight the<br>>package in the list, then to Package -> Lock Version<br> ><br>>The command line fu way is to edit an apt file like this example (just<br>>change the package names)<br>>http://askubuntu.com/questions/23578/how-do-i-pin-a-particular-mysql-version-to-avoid-unnecessary-upgrades</div><div><br></div><div>This was completely new for me and I would never ever have managed to find out on myself just through googling cause for that you need to know the terms to search for.</div><div><br></div><div>Ok, at the moment I have no time for the experimenting, but at least I know how to "pin" this thread in my mail-client for later use ;)</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div>Bernd</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Am 12.03.2014, 20:44 Uhr, schrieb josef k <groundwatergis@gmail.com>:<br></div><br><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0.80ex; border-left: #0000FF 2px solid; padding-left: 1ex"><div dir="ltr">Bernd,<div><div><br></div><div>I recently installed gdal with filegdb on ubuntu 13.10.

</div><div>Then I installed qgis 2.2 from ubuntugis-unstable. And now I do have qgis with filegdb-support.<br></div><div>Is this what you were trying to achieve? ( I have to admit I did not read the full thread.)<br></div>

What I still do not get is, why my requirements seem to be so "exotic", that there is no easier way for all this. But maybe I manage to solve all this and maybe post it somewhere.<br>
Lots of googling ahead ... after already googling a lot.</blockquote></div></div></div></div></div>
