[mapserver-users] Python Mapscript MS 3.6.1

[Michael Schulz]

Dear List,

i am also stuck in compiling python mapscript. I use swig 1.1 and mapserver 3.6.0
(problem?)

I changed the mapscript.i file according to the mail from Sean, but to no avail. When
compiling I still get following errors:

...
mapscript_wrap.c: In function `_wrap_imageObj_free':
mapscript_wrap.c:4926: parse error before `*'
mapscript_wrap.c:4927: `ms_error' undeclared (first use in this function)
...

Hmm, Vinko, could you send your mapscript.i file? Or anybody got a clue why it isn't
working?

Cheers, Michael
