[Gdal-dev] ECW with gdal_translate, temp files

[Armin Burger]

Hello,

I compiled GDAL (daily build 20050329) with ECW support (binaries from gdal.org) under Linux. When I use gdal_translate to create an ECW or JP2 image, the conversion/compression seems to create temporary files: a directory with the name of the image and the extension .tmp under the root (/) partition and some files in it. My problem is that the '/' partition is too small to take all the temporary files, and the conversion crashes.

Does anybody know if there's a possibility specifying another temp directory for these files, e.g. by setting an environment variable? Or if not, by specifying the temp directory during compilation?

Thanks for any help.

Best regards, Armin
