[Qgis-user] Compiling QGIS with FWTools version of gdal with ecw and sid support

[Agustin Lobo]

I have the FWTools version of gdal with ecw and sid support
on my ubuntu 8.04 machine:

/usr/local/FWTools-2.0.6/bin_safe/gdalinfo
alobo at alobo-laptop:~$ /usr/local/FWTools-2.0.6/bin_safe/gdalinfo 
--formats | grep -i ECW
   ECW (rw): ERMapper Compressed Wavelets
   JP2ECW (rw+): ERMapper JPEG2000
alobo at alobo-laptop:~$ /usr/local/FWTools-2.0.6/bin_safe/gdalinfo 
--formats | grep -i sid
   MrSID (ro): Multi-resolution Seamless Image Database (MrSID)

someone could modify directions in
http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/BuildingFromSource#head-8e1e1ff25b5e9f587393e0592c0ff34891ec07cc

so that we know how to compile the stable version of QGIS but with the 
FWTools version of gdal (to have sid and ecw support in QGIS)?

I guess this implies modifying the GDAL* entries in ccmake, which by 
default are:
  GDAL_CONFIG                     */usr/bin/gdal-config 

  GDAL_CONFIG_PREFER_FWTOOLS_PAT  */bin_safe 

  GDAL_CONFIG_PREFER_PATH         */bin 

  GDAL_INCLUDE_DIR                */usr/include/gdal 

  GDAL_LIBRARY                    */usr/lib/libgdal1.5.0.so

but dont know what to put for:
  GDAL_CONFIG_PREFER_FWTOOLS_PAT 

  GDAL_CONFIG_PREFER_PATH 



Thanks
