build GDAL from source with MrSID support
Raw
gdal_src_mrsid.md

get source code http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadSource let's use GDAL 1.10.1 for this example.

here's the page on BuildingOnUnix http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildingOnUnix

here's the page for MrSID / GDAL http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/MrSID

get the DSDK from LizardTech https://www.lizardtech.com/developer/ - version I used was MrSID_DSDK-8.5.0.3422-linux.x86-64.gcc44 I made a folder /home/oeon/local/src and put it there. I also extracted my GDAL src code there.

i made a folder /home/oeon/local/gdal1101

configure GDAL ./configure --prefix=/home/oeon/local/gdal1101 --with-mrsid=/home/oeon/local/src/MrSID_DSDK-8.5.0.3422-linux.x86-64.gcc44/Raster_DSDK make sure you see MrSID support: yes in the config list.

make -j8

make install

sudo ldconfig

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/oeon/local/src/MrSID_DSDK-8.5.0.3422-linux.x86-64.gcc44/Raster_DSDK/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

cd into /home/oeon/local/gdal1101/bin test with ./gdalinfo --formats | grep MrSID
