Description Homme Zwaagstra 2006-02-08 15:52:23 UTC

It would be nice if GDAL could be built with the ECW JPEG 2000 SDK. There is a bug for including this SDK in portage (#122186). As such a new USE flag (ecw?) would be needed. Attached is a patch for the gdal-1.3.1.ebuild that should kick things off; it works in conjunction with the ebuild submitted in bug #122186.

I think that ECW should be enabled in gdal 1.3.2..

gdal-1.3.2 ebuild with ecw support

Other files can be found in /usr/portage/sci-libs/gdal/files. Please use libecwj2 ebuild found at bug #122186 and do feedback.

Comment 4 Luca 2006-07-18 10:37:23 UTC

All is working fine...
Due the new license on ECW, there are any opportunity to see ECW flag in GDAL 1.3.2?

Comment 5 Emiliano Vavassori 2006-12-19 08:20:51 UTC

Since libecwj2 will hit Portage soon, GDAL needs an 'ecw' useflag. I know this bug report isn't for requesting version bumps, but I'll attach here a patch to bump GDAL from Portage 1.3.2 to 1.4.0beta1. It fixes some issues with ebuild syntax and functionality.

Patch for gdal-1.3.2 (portage) -> gdal-1.4.0_beta1

Here's the announced patch. Please, copy gdal-1.3.2.ebuild from portage in the directory that stores the patch, then launch
$ patch -p5 < gdal_132-to-140b1.patch && mv gdal-1.{3.2,4.0_beta1}.ebuild

HTH, please feedback.

Comment 7 Paul Austin 2007-08-17 16:56:18 UTC

Any idea when the ebuilds will be updated?

Comment 8 Emiliano Vavassori 2007-08-17 23:06:47 UTC

As always, please see http://gentoo-gis.sf.net/

Cheers.

gdal-1.6.1 has ecwj2k use flag. I think this bug is resolved
