[Qgis-user] use ESRI file geodatabase format in QGIS + gdal 1.9

[karsten]

Thanks Even for your input. Thanks to Tamas' I now have a working gdal/ogr
built ( I mean one that supports FGDB ). I copied the files to 
\Quantum GIS Wroclaw\bin\FileGDBAPI.dll and 
\Quantum GIS Wroclaw \bin\gdalplugins\ogr_FileGDB.dll

Anyway I could not find where in the QGIS UI is an option to add a FGDB
layer (I tried “add vector layer” but FGDB was not listed there yet). 
But maybe that's not the correct location ? Any hints what I need to do ?

No change required in QGIS. It's abstracted by OGR API. It works already 
provided that you build GDAL against the FileGDB SDK and link QGIS against 
this GDAL build.
