How to access file geodatabase in Qgis?



How does one access data from an Esri file geodatabase in Quantum GIS?


I've seen snippets of conversation that indicate it's possible with qgis 1.7+ and gdal 1.9+ but no clear recipe.



I recognize that in a few months or a year this will likely be a non question ("just click [add data] button"), but today, I'm stumped. ;-)



Answer



Just use OSGeo4W and install the gdal-filegdb package. I compiled and uploaded the binaries to include them as part of the distribution.


File Geodatabase (*.gdb) support in QGIS? has a step by step recipe.
