[Qgis-developer] ECW!!!

[Ecofuego]

It is very simple for Windows.  This is based on Giovanni Manghi's web page
http://www.faunalia.pt/node/438

However, instructions for copying the dlls into their respective directories
are not clear.  

On Windows:

(1) install Quantum GIS with the osgeo4w installer
(2) install this package
"http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/Download.aspx?file=release-1600-gdal-1-9...\gdal-19-1600-ecw.msi"
(obviously without the inverted commas)
(3) using windows explorer go inside c:\program files\gdal and find the two
.dlls, libecwj2.dll and gdal_ECW_JP2ECW.dll
(4) copy libecwj2.dll into the c:\OSGeo4W\bin folder
(5) gdal_ECW_JP2ECW.dll into the c:\OSGeo4W\bin\gdalplugins\1.9
(6) start up QGIS into the osgeo4w folder
(7) add raster layer using add raster layer command
(8) select the image file ending in ecw

There you have it.  It should work.  I successfully loaded ecw files this
morning.

Thanks Giovanni
