E.5 SQLite3<br />

E.5. SQLite3<br />

SQLite3 is used to manage the projections database and store persistent data such as spatial<br />

bookmarks. Download the latest (3.x) version of SQLite from http://www.sqlite.org/ (9). Untar<br />

the distribution and:<br />

./configure<br />

make<br />

make install<br />

Note: SQLite 3.x is included on Mac OS X 10.4.<br />

E.6. GDAL/OGR<br />

The GDAL and OGR libraries provide support for raster and vector data formats. Q<strong>GIS</strong> makes use of<br />

both of these libraries (which come bundled in one distribution).<br />

Note: A GNU/Linux binary of GDAL is available athttp://www.gdal.org. If you choose to install the<br />

binary you will also need to download and unpack the source tree since Q<strong>GIS</strong> needs the header files<br />

in order to compile.<br />

To install GDAL/OGR from source:<br />

1. Download the GDAL distribution from http://www.gdal.org (3). You should use the latest<br />

version of GDAL if possible. The minimum recommended version for use with Q<strong>GIS</strong> 0.8 is<br />

1.3.1.<br />

2. Untar the distribution<br />

tar xfvz /path/to/gdal-x.x.x.tar.gz<br />

3. Change to the gdal-x.x.x subdirectory that was created by step 2<br />

cd gdal-x.x.x<br />

4. Configure GDAL<br />

./configure<br />

Since GDAL/OGR supports a lot of different formats you should check to website (see (3) for<br />

other dependencies required by GDAL/OGR. It may possible that you need more libraries and<br />

its header-files installed in order to get a specific format linked into GDAL/OGR.<br />
