Hello community


I have experience installing and using MapServer on Windows and Linux
plataform. But now I'm interested in contributing as a developer MapServer.
I am interested to know: if you have technical manual (development manual,
tutorial or whatever)   or   how do you develop?. I read the info in the
website mapserver.org (development section), but it is insufficient =(
Until now, I know that I need GDB + frontend (ex. Emacs,KDbg,DDD,Nemiver)
for debugging mapserv executable on Linux.. I tried to debug it,but  I
couldn't ( note: I have installed all the required libraries )..

Always GDB detects " parsing errors in my mapfile".. But I think it is
impossible because my mapfiles are fine.. My web applications work with the
mapfiles. The same situation occurs with test files :
/mapserver-5.4.1/tests/test.map ...

Really is very frustrating. please...somebody can tell me some steps to
develop on mapserver.... because I haven't found clear info


Thanks a lot


Gustav Allen
