[Gdal-dev] ECW JPEG 2000 SDK v3.3: final source distribution released

[William Kyngesburye]

I was all excited about this.  But...

Are you sure the threading is improved, for Mac OS X at least?  I  
still get a trap error in compression.  And I can't get a working  
decompression either - all I get is invalid or corrupt file errors.   
I've tried this on PPC, OS 10.4.7, GCC 4.0.1 (tried the beta on  
Intel, but my MacBook is in the shop right now so I can't try the  
final 3.3 release on Intel Mac OS X).

I'm starting to wonder if there is something wrong with how I build  
it.  I don't think I'm doing anything wrong, but I've heard that at  
least a working reader is possible.

Any ideas?  Maybe time to sign up on the forum and ask around...

[Marvin]  You think you have problems?  What are you supposed to do  
if you ARE a maniacally depressed robot?  No, don't try and answer,  
I'm 50,000 times more intelligent than you and even I don't know the  
answer...
