@Martin - Be careful! Ubuntugis repository specified in your link is for a previous version of Ubuntu. Something may not work.– MickyInTheSkyCommented May 7, 2014 at 10:46

@MickyInTheSky - you are right, it does not work on Ubuntu 14.04. We have to wait until ubuntugis has a repository for trusty.– AndreJCommented May 8, 2014 at 16:06

You mush use this repository, Because libgdal-ecw-src nothing in trusty main, you can see on ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu/pool/main/…– Martin M. BaihaqiCommented Sep 30, 2014 at 16:54

If you don't mind installing gvSIG like I did on my Linux Mint, you will be able to read ECW files and then export them as TIFF. I had no problem reading these new TIFF's in QGIS.
By now, wating for ubuntuGIS repository updating for "trusty", I'd advise this procedure (python must be already installed):
- Download (after "sign up") the SDK 5.0 from here;
- Be careful to the licence;
- Install/compile the SDK in a directory (e.g./usr/local/ecwjp2_sdk);
- Download GDAL/OGR source from here;
Install/Compile GDAL with the following syntax:
.`/configure --with-python=yes --with-ecw=/usr/local/ecwjp2_sdk`Install Qgis from standalone version or from source;
That's all!!
