[mapserver-users] ECW image support

[Richard Greenwood]

Hi Perry, Frank, and Mapserver Listers,

I downloaded ms35gif_gdal.zip and added a simple ECW layer to my map file:

LAYER
         NAME "test"
         Status default
         TYPE raster
         DATA "\Tc\OrthoPhotos\1999\s_063.ecw"
END

But I get the following error message:

"msDrawRaster(): Image handling error. Unrecognized or unsupported image 
format"

So I tried compiling it myself without any luck. I got GDAL 1.1.5 and 
un-commented the ECW lines in the nmake.opt file. I un-commented the 
GDAL_DIR and OGR lines in the mapserver makfile.vc. Everything compiled 
without errors, but I still get the same "unsupported image format" error 
message.

Am I doing something wrong in my layer definition in my map file? Or does 
anyone have any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong in my makefiles?

Thanks, and happy new year,
Rich
