[Mapserver-users] Ermapper ECW files on Linux ?

[Antti.Roppola at brs.gov.au]

AFAIK, the .ecw libraries are only available as a binary only
distributions from ERMapper. Compression seems to only be available
for Windows and MacOS, but decompression is available for Solaris
and Java.

I have been thinking about the possibility of how you'd go about
making one of these binaries visible to Linux, say using a service
in WINE or Java. Since they do a bunch of other Unices, my guess is
that the absense of .ecw libs for Linux must be for non-technical
reasons, though I can't see why they couldn't do something similar
to what PDFLib does.

Is it possible for a _linux_ based Mapserver to read and show .ecw raster
files ??
