Hi again Finally I managed to compile ecw dll as part of gdal. This means I do not need to declare a system variable to tell where ecw gdal plugin is located. I ran gdalinfo - format: Bingo found *Supported Formats: ECW (ro): ERMapper Compressed Wavelet JP2ECW (ro): ERMapper JPEG2000* But when I try to run gdal17.dll with MapServer, I get this error message: *load output format (): General error message. OUTPUT FORMAT clause references driver GDAL / ECW, men this driver isn't Configured.; msInitGDALOutputFormat (): General error message. GDAL `ECW` driver ikke support output.* I get this error message only when I include. Ecw file in mapFile. This means that solution with the new gdal thrived without ecw. So question is am I missing some configurations for MapServer or what?
Hi, I gather you are using the new ECW DSDK, right? It only supports reading, not writing. Based on the use of an OUTPUTFORMAT declaration in mapserver, I'm guessing you are trying to return ECW results from MapServer. To do that you need to make some sort of purchase of an encoder SDK from Erdas. Encoding - even small results - is apparently no longer free. Don't blame me - those who hold the strings of copyright make the rules! Ah, doesn't it make the taste of open source even sweeter when you occationally bite into the sour taste of proprietary?
