[mapserver-users] Building Mapserver with Mapscript and AGG

[Nikolai Nikolov]

Hi Jason,

 

Mapserver 5.2.0 and later versions build successfully with AGG 2.5 !!!  So I
would suggest, as the best option for you, to get AGG 2.5 and then build AGG
and Mapserver.

 

Best regards,

Nick

Hi all,

I'm trying to build Mapserver 5.4.1 against AGG 2.4 with Python Mapscript on
Centos 5 and I'm having some trouble.

I followed the instructions on http://mapserver.org/installation/unix.html
and modified the Makefile.in.Linux of AGG to include the -fPIC option to
support mapscript.  AGG seems to build libagg.a just fine in the src
directory.

When I build mapserver against that version of AGG, it compiles fine and so
do the python bindings.  However, when I install and try to use mapscript in
python, I get an error when I try to import the mapscript module:
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_mapscript.so: undefined
symbol: _ZN3agg12g_sqrt_tableE

This appears to be an error due to the -fPIC option not being specified in
the AGG build, which I've done.

Are there any other steps that must be done to successfully compile
Mapserver against AGG to get the python bindings to work?

Thanks,

Jason
