I have also been looking at Jürgen's answer, and if I understand I should
remove the remaining GDAL bits from the 1.6 install and bring in GDAL from
source (which should be what the nightly build is expecting), and hook ecw up
to that. Then it should work. I'm probably misunderstanding - is that right?
Not from source. The nightly builds use the GDAL version from the "original"
distribution.
My main point of the nighly builds is to test if trunk is building against the
various library versions - having usable trunk builds is just a side effect ;)
So if you need ECW support, you need to add it to that version. The version
from ubuntugis is probably a different one and therefore not used by nightly
build. And in turn having ECW support for that one, doesn't help.
You need to build the GDAL ECW plugin for the "original" GDAL version. The
tuturial can help with that. And once you added it, QGIS (including coming
nighly builds) will be able to use ECW.
I think I understand. I've had a go trying to turn understanding into
practicality today, but for the moment, I'm plain out of time.
Jürgen, for a side-effect, this is the most pleasant one I've met for quite
some time.
So the current situation for "regular" GIS users who need support for
ecw is:
On windows -
You have a chance to get ecw support if you were lucky enough to
download the previous ERDAS SDK 4.0 (which is no longer available). The
latest one, 4.1 causes gdal to crash.
On Linux -
You're probably out of luck for now.
