Can I change the GDAL/OGR library that QGIS uses?


I have been adding a new format to OGR, all seems well and OGRInfo works. Now I would like to test my code out using QGIS. Is there an easy way to switch which GDAL lib QGIS uses on a windows box? I've read Tim's blog post but would rather not go down the recompiling from source route if possible.



Answer



This weekend I added a new OGR driver dll to the OSGeo4W build. You can drop a new gdal plugin - as long as it matches the same gdal version (in my case 1.8 - QGIS picked it up without trouble).
