  • Requires gdal16
  • Maintainer is FrankWarmerdam.

Installing ECW SDK

The GDAL ECW Plugin requires the ECW 3.3 Runtime libraries, which were distributed by ERDAS, but are no longer available for download (see pkg-gdal17-ecw for newer version that is available for download). In order to use the runtime libraries, the end user is required to install the DLLs into a system directory. For 32-bit versions of Windows, this is C:\Windows\system32, and for 64-bit versions this directory is C:\Windows\SysWOW64.

See the pkg-gdal-ecw for details on how to manually install the ECW SDK. The underlying SDK only needs to be installed once for both the gdal-ecw and gda16-ecw plugins.
