I think you made the right decision. Compiling gdal means recompiling most of the spatial applications on your computer. That's is a very deep rabbit hole that you want to avoid if possible.


Unfortunately, for reasons that were explained some years ago on the list, ecw support is built into the Windows binaries, but not for Linux. So for Linux users there are only 2 options: either get the data in an open format, or fire up a windows VM and install the OSGeo4W version of QGIS and gdal just for converting the ecw files to something else.

Thank you all

I am trying to obtain supported format (I have already installed gdal used by QGIS, and do not want to have problems later if we change the gdal's installation).

Regards

Rosa.

you need gdal built with ECW support

https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/ECW

never tried that. better try to get the rasters in a supported format or
use a Windows machine (I think with advanced install you can add ECW
support, but I have only Linux over here)


Cheers,

Bernd

Hello

I cannot open ECW files in QGIS 3.22. My operating system is Ubuntu
20. I have searched in the websites about it, but it seems
instructions are obsolate.

Please, could you help me with this problem give me some hints?

Thanks a lot

Rosa.
