See http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildHints, section 'External Library 
Issues'.
You could also fetch precompiled binaries with ECW support. See 
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadingGdalBinaries (not all of them have 
ECW support, but some yes)
And note that the latest stable version is GDAL 1.6.1.
