Need help to compile mapserver-4.2.2 under windows

[Brent Fraser]

Some notes on compiling Mapserver 4.2.2 on Windows:

Regex:
=====
    Around line 419 of Mapserver 4.2.2 nmake .opt file, change:
REGEX_OBJ=$(REGEX_DIR)\regex.obj
    to
REGEX_OBJ=$(REGEX_DIR)\regex.obj $(REGEX_DIR)\test\printchar.obj


GD v2.0.28
=========
   I haven't figured out how to compile this version of GD yet.  They've
changed their method of function decoration and  VC++ 6 refuses to compile
it (which is strange since their changes seem to be specifically for
Windows;  I'm sure I just need to set some compiler option).  For now I use
your method of downloading the binary package.

SQL Errors
========
Your "SQL" errors may be due to different settings in GDAL's nmake.opt and
Mapserver's nmake.opt.  Check to make sure both have the same value for
ODBC_SUPPORTED.


When your compile is successful, mapserv.exe will be created (and other
exes), and libmap.dll

The Mapserver compile How-to explains about some of the executables and
dlls.
