[MS4W-Users] FileGDB tip for MS4W 4.0 users

[Jeff McKenna]

Hello everyone,

Those already using the MS4W 4.0 alpha releases will notice that FileGDB 
support is handled through the OpenFileGDB driver (as opposed to past 
releases that used the Esri SDK).  Read more about the OpenFileGDB 
driver at: http://www.gdal.org/drv_openfilegdb.html

Note that this format is ready-only, through GDAL.

     OpenFileGDB - vector- (rov): ESRI FileGDB


Someday when Esri releases its SDK for the most recent Visual Studio 
compiler, we will go back to using its SDK.  You can follow along and 
provide feedback (or let me know when that SDK is released) directly in 
the associated MS4W ticket: http://ms4w.com/trac/ticket/2

You can always find more information on these SDK's in the GDAL 
"BuildHints" wiki, which I have helped maintain over the years.  If you 
yourself have tips then please add them directly in the wiki for 
everyone.  https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/FileGDB

Thanks,

-jeff
