ERDASEcwJpeg2000 5.1.1 SDK on Mac

[Martin Mikita]

Actual configure file can't recognize static library of ECW SDK 5.1.1 on Mac.

SDK's lib folder tree: lib/

• libNCSEcw.a -> libc++/static/libNCSEcw.a
• libc++/
  • dynamic/
    • libNCSEcw.dylib
  • static/
    • libNCSEcw.a
• libstdc++ /
  • dynamic/
    • libNCSEcw.dylib
  • static/
    • libNCSEcw.a

Link for libNCSEcw.a in root can be changed to libstdc++ (which compiles correctly and is working)

I attach patch file for 1.11.2 release. You can use it, or modify to better recognize static linking of ECW 5.1.1 SDK

Did you try trunk ? There has been changes in ECW detection.

Replying to rouault:

Did you try trunk ? There has been changes in ECW detection.

Yes, trunk is working. Will it be joined? Or will be possible to change it in next stable release (1.11.3)?

jcztery, related to ECW, is it safe to backport trunk's configure.in into 1.11 branch ? I see 1.11 references libEcwJp2SDK.a and trunk no longer.

Hi,
libEcwJp2SDK was a name that was used only in prerelease of 5.1. Unfortunately it has been changed after the change that added 5.1 support to GDAL but before release. So released versions of ECW JP2 SDK uses libNCS.* name.

So libEcwJp2SDK is no longer in use.
Did this patch http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5390 not help for the original issue?

@jcztery: it helped. But was in trunk only up to now
