Running QGIS on Ubuntu 11.04 and QGIS for Android on Galaxy Tab 10.1 (which is an awesome project by the way)

NEED to figure out a way to get SID and/or ECW files loaded.

Saw some posts about compiling GDAL manually but haven't had any luck.

Has anyone successfully accomplished this?

Thanks in advance!!!!!

How far have you gotten attempting to compile GDAL? – BuckFilledPlatypus Jul 25 '12 at 18:21
Despite the assurances above, I've yet to see any explanation on how to add SID files into QGIS 8.0 on Ubuntu 12.04. If anyone has more precise information I'd also be interested to know. I've also posed a similar question in Ubuntu Forums at ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1997284 2 months, and as yet not a single response... – user9327 Aug 4 '12 at 17:08
Those explanations do explain how to get ECW support but now how to get SID support. I've also tried manually building gdal with mrsid without any luck and have yet to find any post anywhere where anyone has done so. – joines Apr 16 at 23:24
Hello, welcome to gis.stackexchange. Please, attempt this is not an answer to the question. A suggestion would be to add this message as a commentary. – Andre Silva Apr 16 at 23:57
