Hi Folks, I'm trying to add ECW read support to gdal in Ubuntu 10.4 (Lucid) amd64 and not having much luck. The end goal is simply to be able to view ecw images in QGIS.
What I've tried to date follows. Edited for space, things were not actually installed all at the same time or in the order as written; many false starts in the middle. I keep getting an error from `gdal-ecw-build`: "checking for libNCSEcw.so or libecwj2... configure: error: not found". The only reference I could find to this error was on Mac OS-X from 3 years, with a note that a fix was committed to source (http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2032). What am I doing wrong/missing? thanks. {{{ uname -a #Linux ubuntu-desktop 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:09:38 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install qgis gdal-bin libgdal-ecw-src # download libecwj2-3.3 and unpack to ~/src cd ~/src wget http://gentoo.cs.utah.edu/distfiles/libecwj2-3.3-2006-09-06.zip unzip libecwj2-3.3-2006-09-06.zip # build the SDK cd libecwj2-3.3/Source ./configure make sudo make install # build gdal with ecw plugin sudo gdal-ecw-build ~/src/libecwj2-3.3/Source/ Extracting GDAL/ECW tarball Building GDAL/ECW plugin checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed checking for g++... g++ checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes checking whether g++ accepts -g... yes checking for ranlib... ranlib checking for g++ -shared ... yes checking for gdal-config... /usr/local/bin/gdal-config using /usr/lib/gdal17plugins as GDAL shared library autoload directory checking for libNCSEcw.so or libecwj2... configure: error: not found in /home/matt/src/libecwj2-3.3/Source//lib or /home/matt/src/libecwj2-3.3/Source//bin. }}} -- -matt _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
