[mapserver-users] RE: Mapserver 3.4 Ogr

[Doyon, Jean-Francois]

Juan,

OGR use will be officially available in the upcoming 3.5 version of
MapServer.

You can however obtain the development version of MapServer through CVS,
this is the absolute latest version of MapServer, and it works just fine,
it's just missing some features planned for 3.5 that haven't been added in
yet. OGR and GDAL integration is mostly finished I think.

Instructions on how to obtain the CVS version are available as a link from
the MapServer download page.  You can also try the nightly build version,
although I don't know if they are currently being maintained.

Also, there is no documentation for the 3.5/CVS series yet ... I'm working
on it :)

Here is an example on how to use OGR within the MapFile (This one uses a
shapefile):

    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION "/home/mapdata/nac/shapefiles/pol75_p.shp"

Hope this helps ...
J.F.
