<body class='hmmessage'><div style="text-align: left;">Hi:<br><br>After a few time trying different options to get libecwj library working<br>in mingw, I decided to start a port of the library. There are good news<br>about the port, actually the library compiles correctly using pthreads<br>and dev-cpp as ide for debugging. I have succesfully compiled in debug<br>mode and release mode I have also compiled gdal with the library and<br>used it in qgis to load ecw images.<br><br>The port is an early stage and still have some problems, the one more<br>visible is that it takes to qgis like 2 minutes to load an ecw image of about<br>100 mb but once it is loaded it works ok.<br><br>Please tell me if someone is interested in debuging the library to get it<br>working with qgis.<br><br>the source patched and the binaries could be downloaded from:<br><br>http://sprat.sytes.net/libecwandbinaries.zip<br><br>To use it uncompress the zip file.<br><br>If you want to check it with qgis copy the content of gdal,<br>dependencies and debug to qgis root directory.<br><br>If you want to build the library and debug it, download<br>dev-cpp from here http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html<br><br>uncompress libecw.zip into c:/msys/src/<br><br>there is a dev-cpp project in C:\msys\src\libecwj\Source\C\NCSEcw\NCSEcw<br>its name is ecewj2.dev just open it and build it.<br><br>Pthreads libraries and includes must be in /local/include and /local/lib of your msys.<br><br>There are to make files to be used with the project :<br><br>Makefilelibecwj2_mingw32win_debug<br>Makefilelibecwj2_mingw32win<br><br>To change them you have to go to project menu - project options - files<br>and choose the appropiate makefile in use custom makefile option.<br><br>Hope this can help, and also that we can have ecw support for windows<br>version of qgis shortly.<br><br>Regards<br><br>Godofredo Contreras<br></div><br /><hr />Stay up to date on your PC, the Web, and your mobile phone with Windows Live. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093185mrt/direct/01/' target='_new'>See Now</a></body>
