Well, you can try, but that's what I'm doing and then getting the
problems. And, for OSX, ECW still needs a bit of patching - a fix
for Mac Intel and a reversion to an earlier source and a couple other
minor changes.

Just to add,
I found this:

I'll give it a try.

Normally you would use GDAL compiled with the ECW library support.
BUT, I can't get it to work on OSX. It always gives me invalid
image errors, and others have the same problem so it's not just
me. I've asked ERmapper (uh, Leica) about it, but they only
officially support 10.3.9 PPC, which is not usable on 10.4
because of C++ compiler version differences. I've asked in their
forums for any user/programmers that could help, but no response.
Strangely enough, GraphicConverter uses the ECW library and
works, I think it uses different library calls to read them. But
GC loses the geographic info, and it doesn't handle large files
very well. Because it works in GC, I also have a bug report for
GDAL, but also no action on it yet.

Hello,
I'm just wondering what the best way to import a 3.5GB .ecw file
into GRASS is?
