That won't change. From source nothing changes. It's just that you need to build the gdal ecw plugin to get ECW support and you need the SDK for that - and that's the same as on Windows and Linux. For debian for instance there's also no ecw binary - the available package that has a script that builds the plugin for you, if you tell where you SDK is. > c) Does anyone have an set of 3.3 dlls lying around somewhere? Those won't help as they are probably not build with VC10 and are therefore incompatible with the GDAL build (interface ECW<=>GDAL is C++; so unlike C the ABI is an issue). > d) If ECW support is disappearing from the osgeo4w packages (and so also the > 2.0 standalone when that happens) can it be made abundantly clear (in a > visible to average user sort of way)? In OSGeo4W the ecw package was already tagged obsolete. For the standalone we could add a big fat notice... Jürgen -- Jürgen E. Fischer norBIT GmbH Tel. +49-4931-918175-31 Dipl.-Inf.
