Getting Started

This chapter provides some preliminary information to get you started using the MrSID SDK. At the least, we suggest you skim this User Manual and the accompanying Reference Manual, then build and execute the provided example application. The example sources should give you enough information to determine what level of SDK support your own application will require. At that point you can go back and reread the User and Reference manuals more closely, focusing on the areas appropriate to your situation.

NOTE:  The interfaces and libraries supplied with the MrSID SDK are not compatible or interoperable with the previous 7.x series of MrSID SDK releases, also called the GeoExpress SDK. Existing MrSID-enabled applications will require source code changes to make use of the SDK.
