[gdal-dev] Fw: Building GDAL with ECW support

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Kevin,

Some quick thoughts for your case:

- you can paste your large commands and code at https://pastebin.com/ 
and then share that link with this mailing list discussion in your 
message (for images, similar with https://pasteboard.co/ )

- the best source of build help is the GDAL "BuildHints" page 
(https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildHints) and specifically for ECW: 
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/ECW Although the hints can be old and 
for various versions, I find following those pages a "gold mine" of 
information.

-jeff
