[osgeo4w-dev] proj refactoring, gdal17-ecw

[Matt Wilkie]

Many thanks for this work Frank!

 > http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/wiki/pkg-gdal17-ecw

After following these instructions gdalinfo works, in that it reports 
info I expect, but throws up a crash dialog (attached). I'm using 64bit 
Win7 and put the ecw dll's in %osgeo4w_root%\bin.

{{{
16/09/2010  04:07 AM            54,784 NCScnet4.dll
16/09/2010  04:28 AM         2,247,168 NCSEcw4_RO.dll
16/09/2010  04:07 AM           385,024 NCSUtil4.dll
16/09/2010  01:17 AM           220,336 tbb.dll
}}}

It is quite possible that I have another ECW dll somewhere in PATH. If 
so I've not found it yet though. Is it possible to use dllupdate to 
locate dupes? I tried a few things with it but it came up empty.

{{{
C:\>path=%path%;c:\OSGeo4W\bin

C:\>dllupdate "c:\Program Files (x86)\ERDAS\ERDAS ECW JPEG2000 Read 
SDK\redistributable\vc90\win32\NCScnet4.dll"
