For ECW support download SDK from  ER Mapper site

Compilation

Unpack the files

  tar zxf *.tar.gz
  tar jxf *.tar.bz2
  unzip *.zip

then cd to directory and run

for GD, PROJ4, GEOS, ECW SDK

   ./configure
   make
   make install

PostgreSQL

   LDFLAGS=-lstdc++  ./configure   --with-openssl  --with-krb5
   make
   make install

PostGIS

   ./configure  --with-pgconfig=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config
   make
   make install

PHP as Apache2 module

Add a line in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf (commented out!)

    #LoadModule dummy_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_dummy.so

    ./configure  --with-gd=/usr/local --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib   \
    --with-png-dir=/usr/lib   --with-tiff-dir=/usr/lib --with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib  \
    --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/freetype2  --with-mysql --with-regex=php  \
    --enable-dbase --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config  --with-db4  \
    --enable-soap --with-openssl  --with-curl --with-xmlrpc  --with-xsl   \
    --with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs2 --enable-zip  

   make
   make install 

GDAL with ecw 3.3

    ./configure --with-pg=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config   --with-geos=yes   --with-xerces   \
    --with-xerces-lib="-L/usr/lib -lxerces-c -lpthread"  --with-xerces-inc=/usr/include/xercesc  \
    --with-mysql=no --with-ecw=/usr/local  --with-python   --with-spatialite=/usr/local
    
    make
    make install

If you do not need ECW support drop the --with-ecw=/usr/local

AGG

   if you get errors for MS compilation: in 'Makefile.in.Linux' add '-fPIC' to 'AGGCXXFLAGS = ...', like
   AGGCXXFLAGS = -fPIC -O3 -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib 

   make
