Thank you Marco for the instructions. This is great and should help me
with other similar questions as well.<br>
<br>
I am surprised by the amount of work it takes to add support for JP2 or
similar format....nothing seems too complex, just more steps than I
anticipated. It's understandable though. This is fine with me since I
was planning to start building several of these packages directly from
source anyway (I've been downloading Win binaries thus far.) <br>

no, there's not.<br>

yes, but not only...<br>

<br>
because FWTools are built with JP2 support<br>
<br>

<br>
no, they don't<br>
<br>
To enable JP2 support in Quantum GIS, you need to:<br>
<br>
1. build the whole MSYS/MinGW or VS environment (it depends on the
library) up to GDAL; that means that you need:<br>
<br>
1.01. flex<br>
1.02. bison<br>
1.02. zlib<br>
1.03. libjpeg<br>
1.04. libpng<br>
1.05. libtiff<br>
1.06. xdr<br>
1.07. freetype<br>
1.08. FFTW<br>
1.09. PDCurses<br>
1.10. PROJ.4<br>
1.11. GEOS<br>
1.12. GSL<br>
1.13. Expat<br>
1.14. PostgreSQL<br>
1.15. SQLite<br>
<br>
2. build GDAL with GEOS, Expat, PostgreSQL and SQLite support + JP2
support (preferably with VS)<br>
<br>
3. build GRASS (only with MSYS/MinGW)<br>
<br>
4. rebuild GDAL with GRASS support (+ the above mentioned supports)<br>
<br>
5. build SIP, PyQT and, finally, QGIS (with MSYS/MinGW or VS, as you
like)<br>
<br>
more information are available on my BuildFromSource Guide (to be
updated soon) here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
