Somewhere else on this forum ("How to access file geodatabase in Qgis?") someone asked how to access data from an Esri file geodatabase in Quantum GIS?

One of the answers pointed to http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/PackageList.aspx?file=release-1600-dev.zip

I downloaded that file and followed the instructions to build qdal 1.9 and mapserver. (nmake ...) on windows xp.

I suppose all output of the build is stored in the folder release-1600. Is this correct?

Do I have to copy all the contents of release-1600 to my installation of qgis (1.7.4) or just certain parts or files of it? And where in the qgis installation do I copy all this?

In the post I referred to before FileGDBAPI.dll and ogr_FileGDB.dll were mentioned. But I can only find the latter under the release-1600 folder.

In the release-1600 folder I also see a bat file SDKShell.bat. What can I use this file for?

I should be wary about copying GDAL 1.9 files to QGIS. I think QGIS has to be compiled with GDAL 1.9 support to work. See: osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/… – nhopton Apr 4 '12 at 15:53
