gdal - How to get ECW support on QGIS 2.16

Wednesday 28 February 2018

after several attempts I am still not able to enable ECW support on QGIS on Ubuntu Xenial.

Before updating to latest version of Ubuntu, solution proposed here worked for me on the same machine, but now it fails to complete the

gdal-ecw-build

command.

I tried several version of ecw sdk, but it always ends with a series of errors, where the last one is:

make: *** [ecwdataset.o] Errore 1

I also tried to change the gdal-ecw-build script adding a flag as suggested here, but without any effects.

Some info about my setup:
