building MS5+AGG

[Gregor Mosheh]

Hi, all.
I was disappointed in the lack of help with my compile issue, but 
considering what I pay you all, I can't reasonably complain. :) The 
excellent news is that we got MS5+AGG working, and boy are we impressed. 
Between "minfeaturesize auto" and the new line rendering, it's like a 
whole new app, smooth order from jagged chaos.

Anyway, I wanted to share how I built AGG so that it compiled smoothly 
into Mapserver, since the procedure described in ticket 2215 just wasn't 
producing anything that would like. This is for Slamd64 (64-bit 
SLackware), but aside from the prerequisite packages it should work for 
other Linux-based OSs as well if you're not fortunate enough to have AGG 
available as a package.


For 64-bit, these are a good general rule and don't hurt;
export CPPFLAGS="-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"
export CXXFLAGS="-fPIC -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"
export CFLAGS="-fPIC -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"


To get AGG running smoothly, one must have SDL installed. On Slack, this 
means having the X11 base installed as well.
    l/sdl-1.2.11-*.tgz
    x/x11-6.9.0-*.tgz
For 64-bit, also the X11 32-bit compat:
    c/32x11-6.9.0-x86_64-2.tgz


Apply this patch to the source (watch the linewrap!) using "patch -b -p1 
< this.patch"

Then a simple make and install:
sh ./autogen.sh --disable-gpc
make
make install



Hopefully, this will save other Slackers a few hours.
