[gdal-dev] GDAL 2.1.3 with ECW support compile fails

[Candy, Liam]

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm trying to build the GDAL 2.1.3 with ECW support (using the Hexagon ERDAS ECW read only SDK v5.3.0).

I'm building on Windows with Visual Studio 2015 v14.0.

I'm getting the following type conversion errors that are breaking the build:

...\gdal-2.1.3\frmts\ecw\ecwdataset.cpp(68): error C2440: 'initializing': cannot convert from 'NCS::CString' to 'char *'
...\gdal-2.1.3\frmts\ecw\ecwdataset.cpp(68): note: No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called
...\gdal-2.1.3\frmts\ecw\ecwdataset.cpp(1425): error C2664: 'NCSError NCSReadEditInfo(const wchar_t *,NCSEditInfo **)': cannot convert argument 1 from 'char *' to 'const wchar_t *'
...\gdal-2.1.3\frmts\ecw\ecwdataset.cpp(1425): note: Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast
...\gdal-2.1.3\frmts\ecw\ecwdataset.cpp(1485): error C2664: 'NCSError NCSWriteEditInfo(const wchar_t *,NCSEditInfo *,void (__cdecl *)(UINT64,UINT64,void *),BOOLEAN (__cdecl *)(void *),void *)': cannot convert argument 1 from 'char *' to 'const wchar_t *'
...\gdal-2.1.3\frmts\ecw\ecwdataset.cpp(1485): note: Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Liam.
