Works with GDAL 3.10.2

[aklofas]

(Not an issue)

I'm happy to report that file-geodatabase-api works with GDAL 3.10.2, aka "Gulf of Mexico" release (lol).

I'm compiling GDAL + file-geodatabase-api + python bindings + java bindings in linux. That way I can write/modify gdb's in python/java using esri's gdal driver (the default GDAL driver provides read-only access only).

Example python code:

from osgeo import ogr, osr, gdal

driver = ogr.GetDriverByName("FileGDB")
if driver is None: raise Exception("Could not load FileGDB driver")

gdb = driver.CreateDataSource(...)

srs = osr.SpatialReference()
srs.ImportFromEPSG(4326)
layer = gdb.CreateLayer("featureclass_name", srs, ogr.wkbMultiPolygon)

layer.CreateFields(...)

feature = ogr.Feature(layer.GetLayerDefn())
for field in fields:
    feature.SetField(...)
feature.SetGeometry(ogr.CreateGeometryFromWkb(...))
layer.CreateFeature(feature)

I've tested it working with the python+java bindings using the following build Docker image:

FROM ubuntu:latest

ARG ROOT_DIRECTORY="/app"
ARG GDAL_SOURCE="gdal-3.10.2.tar.gz"
ARG FILEGDB_SOURCE="FileGDB_API-RHEL8-64gcc83.tar.gz"

### Update system
RUN apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y

### Install build tools
RUN DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y \
    software-properties-common build-essential cmake curl ninja-build \

### Install Java libraries
# Note: jdk-headless fails with swig
RUN DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install openjdk-17-jdk ant swig

### Build and install gdal with esri filegdb
# Extract source code
WORKDIR /root

    ..
RUN ninja && ninja install && ldconfig
# Cleanup
WORKDIR /root
RUN rm -r $GDAL_SOURCE $FILEGDB_SOURCE gdal_build filegdb_build

### Clean up apt cache
RUN apt-get clean && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

WORKDIR $ROOT_DIRECTORY
COPY ...
EXPOSE ...
CMD ...

Notes: This uses python 3.11 and also includes arcgis python library

It's great to see all the hard work the ESRI teams have put in to make this all work well. Thanks again!
