[mapserver-users] About "complete" Makefile.vc for MapServer 3.6.1 (and about ECW)

[Richard Greenwood]

You are correct that ecw images do not require world files. Is your ecw 
image within your extent, and is it in the same coordinate system 
(lat/lon)? I use gdaltindex with my ecw images to create a tile index. A 
tile index is simply a shape file of rectangles representing the extents of 
each image, but it is a good way to check you extents.
