I found those now, but the current tutorial is not easily applicable.

I got it working now, on 12.04 and 14.04 from ubuntugis.

The last step in the tutorial has to be:

sudo gdal-ecw-build 
/usr/local/ERDAS-ECW_JPEG_2000_SDK-5.1.1/Desktop_Read-Only

This works easily on 12.04 with GDAL 1.10 and libgdal-ecw-src from 
ubuntugis unstable.

For 14.04,  I installed libgdal-dev from ubuntugis:

sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev
sudo gdal-ecw-build 
/usr/local/ERDAS-ECW_JPEG_2000_SDK-5.1.1/Desktop_Read-Only

GDAL from ubuntugis is 1.11, but the script stores the plugin into 
/usr/lib/gdalplugins/1.10, hence it is not found by gdalinfo.

So I created a subfolder 1.11 and copied the .so file into it:

sudo mkdir /usr/lib/gdalplugins/1.11
cd /usr/lib/gdalplugins/1.10
cp gdal_ECW_JP2ECW.so /usr/lib/gdalplugins/1.11

Now gdalinfo finds the plugin, and QGIS as well.

HTH,
