[Mapserver-dev] Compile Mapserver 4.2.1 on window2000 ? (GD's question)

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi There,

 I also tried to use the binaries from boutell to build with mapserver.
Athough the build works ok, I get a crash when saving a gd image into a
file (gdImagePng(img, stream)). I really don't know why and there is no
way to debug this.  Too bad because It would have been really nice to
not have to build gd on windows.

 I guess you should try to build gd using the source code (which is what
I think every one is doing). You can contact me off the list if you need
a msvc makefile.

Later,
