win32 MapServer builds

[Valik Solórzano Barboza]

Frank,

I would think that adding some flag when building which tells whether it's 
a release or debug version would be very handy. I made some changes to 
makefile.vc and nmake.opt see the below (changes made based on the head 
version from CVS).

makefile.vc

#MY CHANGES

!IFDEF BUILD_DEBUG
OPTFLAGS =      /nologo /Od /MTd /Zi /Fdmapserv.pdb $(WARNING_LEVEL) $(DEBUG)
BASE_CFLAGS =   $(OPTFLAGS) -DWIN32 -D_WIN32
LDFLAGS =       $(LDEBUG) /NODEFAULTLIB:libcmtd /pdb:"mapserv.pdb"
!ELSE
OPTFLAGS =      /nologo /MT $(WARNING_LEVEL) $(DEBUG)
BASE_CFLAGS =   $(OPTFLAGS) -DWIN32 -D_WIN32
LDFLAGS =       $(LDEBUG)
!ENDIF

$(MS_LIB):      $(MS_OBJS)
         if exist $(GDAL_DIR)\gdal.pdb copy $(GDAL_DIR)\gdal.pdb .
         lib /out:$(MS_LIB) $(MS_OBJS)
         link /dll $(LDEBUG) \
                 $(MS_OBJS) $(EXTERNAL_LIBS) /def:mapserver.def \
                  /out:$(MS_DLL) /implib:$(MS_LIB_DLL)

#ORIGINAL

OPTFLAGS =      /nologo /Zi $(WARNING_LEVEL) $(DEBUG)

LDFLAGS =       /NODEFAULTLIB:msvcrt /NODEFAULTLIB:libcd /DEBUG

                  /out:$(MS_DLL) /implib:$(MS_LIB_DLL)


and in

nmake.opt

But for the above changes to be usefull I had to change other makefiles and 
nmake.opt (if you are interested I can send you the files I had to change):

- freetype
- gd
- gdal
- jpeg
- libpng
- proj

I would actually advise to use /MT (static linkage of the runtime 
libraries). My experience with the runtime libraries (MSVCT**.DLL) are not 
very nice. And offcourse this also could be made configurable trough 
commandline flags for the NMAKE command.

Cheers,

Valik
