[gdal-dev] 64 bit linux format support

[Even Rouault]

David,

If you just need reading uncompressed or JPEG compressed NITF, you don't have 
to bother with MrSID or ECW. Those formats are totally unrelated. Except if 
you want to read JPEG2000 compressed NITF files, in which case you need to 
have a GDAL build with a JPEG2000 capable driver (Kakadu, MrSID or ECW).

See http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildHints that has some information 
specific to how building with those drivers.

Best reagards,

Even
