You will find various resources at http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildHints

Most interesting links for your use case :
* http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadSource
* http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildingOnUnix
* http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/ECW : if you want to compile against ECW SDK
* http://gdal.org/frmt_jp2openjpeg.html : if you want to compile against 
OpenJPEG v2
