[Qgis-user] ERMapper files

[Pierre Chevalier Géologue]

What about opening .ecw files on qgis on a Linux platform? Some time
ago, I managed to do it, after compiling quite a few things, gdal with
some options, all this due to licences issues, if I remember well.

Apparently, .ecw files can still not be opened by my qgis (r12681): does
anyone know if there are any plans to try to overcome these issues, in
the future?

A+
Pierre

PS: sorry, I didn't pay attention, and I replied out of the list to Micha.
