[Gdal-dev] Re: ECW JPEG 2000 Source SDK v3.3 (RC)

[William Kyngesburye]

Oh, yeah - after installing the ECW libraries, I deleted the  
libecwj2.a static library.  The way it's setup, GDAL's configure  
checks for the NCS dynamic libraries by looking for the .so files,  
and then libecwj2.a, so on Mac OS X even if you have the NCS dynamic  
libs installed it will fail to find them and use the static library.   
That's why I also fiddle with the GDAL configure so it looks for  
dylib's instead of so's, and finds the NCS dylib libraries.
