[Mapserver-users] Building MapServer for Max OS X (10.3)

[Ken-ichi Ueda]

I got MS up and running on my PowerBook a month or two ago, mostly 
using the directions you've found (which are great).  My only qualm is 
that I highly advise avoiding Fink altogether.  I'm a relative *nix 
newbie, so I tried to use Fink as much as possible, but Fink often 
didn't have versions of the dependancies that worked with MS, and even 
when the right versions were available, they often didn't work, even 
when referred to explicitly when calling the ./configure script.  
Compiling and installing everything by hand seemed like the most 
reliable way of getting everything to work.  Also, if you're going to 
use PHP MapScript, make sure you compile PHP against the same libraries 
you used for MapServer, or things could get ugly.
