[Qgis-user] raster support of JP2

[John Callahan]

I been using QGIS 0.10 on Windows for a month or so now.  I downloaded 
the Win32 binaries from http://download.qgis.org/downloads.rhtml

I just noticed that it does not support JPEG2000 (JP2) raster format.  
What is the best way to add that support?  Is there a configuration step 
I missed or do I need to download QGIS source code and build it myself 
with JP2 support somehow?

FYI, I'm also using FWTools 2.1.0, which uses GDAL 1.6.0dev, and I can 
work with JP2 (Kakadu) files fine.  Would simply copying the GDAL 
exe/dll files from FWTools into QGIS install directory work?  Thanks.
