Did read "Geoserver 2.1.1 with ECW support"
but when I look at the link – http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/data/raster/gdal.html, it refers MSVC installation and other vague Window binary installs. Wish there was some clear documentation around in GeoServer.
Can anyone assist on the exact steps, including binaries to bring ECW support for GeoServer 2.6 ?
