Howto use gdal/ogr to access a FileGDB and convert it to shapefile

	get the FileGDB API http://www.esri.com/apps/products/download/
	extract it somewhere on your system and remember the path :)

	mkdir build #directory where we are playing around
	cd build
	git clone https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal.git
	cd gdal
	./configure --with-fgdb=/path/to/your/FileGDB_API
	make
	(make install) optional, I'm just using it locally
