[mapserver-users] Build Perl-Mapscript om Windows

[Tamas Szekeres]

Hi,

Just gave it a try and I could successfully compile Perl this way:

1. Install ActivePerl-5.16.2.1602-MSWin32-x86-296513.msi<http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads/thank-you?dl=http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/releases/5.16.2.1602/ActivePerl-5.16.2.1602-MSWin32-x86-296513.msi>
into
a given folder (ie: C:\Perl)

2. Download the SDK package
http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/PackageList.aspx?file=release-1500-dev.zip
    Extract these files into a folder, let's say: E:\builds

3. Checkout mapserver sources into the SDK root, ie: E:\builds\mapserver

4. Open Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt

5. Change directory to E:\builds
           cd E:\builds

6. Compile mapserver:
           nmake ms MS_DIR=mapserver

7. Go to perl dir:
          cd mapserver\mapscript\perl

8. Copy the attached makefile.vc into this subdirectory

9. Compile the Perl bindings

         nmake -f
makefile.vcEXT_NMAKE_OPT=E:\builds\release-1500\mapserver.opt
PERL_DIR=C:\Perl


I suspect Perl may have a more sophisticated compilation approach, but my
knowledge of Pearl is near to nothing.


Best regards,

Tamas
