[Gdal-dev] ecw support under linux

[Jack Varga]

Martin, et al,

I just checked and its still not listed 
(http://www.ermapper.com/downloads/default.aspx#16).  I was told I would 
be notified when it was ready.  Their most recent press release on the 
subject says December 2004 but I know how that goes.  It's interesting 
you say they develop on linux and then port.  Same as PCRaster, and 
that's not available from a link on their site either (I had to ask for 
it).

They said their technology is built on Linux and then ported to Windows for release, but it's not supported on Linux...go figure that one.  Anyway, I never verified if this was true so you would have to download it and try it out.  If you get it done let me know.
