How can I connect QGIS with compiled GDAL on linux?

Sunday, 29 January 2017

I've compiled GDAL on Debian with FileGDB support. The output of

ogr2ogr --formats | grep GDB

OpenFileGDB -vector- (rov): ESRI FileGDB
FileGDB -vector- (rw+): ESRI FileGDB

and

gdalinfo --version

GDAL 2.0.2, released 2016/01/26

I then installed qgis using "sudo apt-get install qgis" and it's version 2.14

I expected it to link to GDAL and have FileGDB support. No such luck. In QGIS About it says it's using GDAL 1.10.1

How do I connect it to the binaries that are compiled and have FileGDB support?
