[mapserver-users] Help with Java MapScript Compile for Windows

[Sathiskumar Govindasamy]

Hi Steve,

I am not using the latest of everything, but I have compiled sometimes 
back and am still using it. Dan wanted help in Windows which I don't 
have access to. Under Linux, it compiles without any problem except on 
Stable mapserver 3.5 & SWIG 1.3.11, I changed the java files little bit. 
But, when I did it check the nightly build a while back it compiled 
clean and working wonderful. I am using Java mapscript on Linux for a 
while now and didn't have any problem. I can help anyone on this, if 
they are on Linux.

>Hi Greg, The Java version compiles clean and I know some folks are having a bit of luck with it. I myself am struggling with installation issues but should over come those soon. Most issues will be related to the "maturity" of SWIG java module. Version 1.3.11 produces seemingly working code although that remains to be seen since not many folks have used it. The other gotchas will revolve around threading issues. Many of these have already been addressed when enabling --with-threads (or whatever it's called) when building the source, however, I'm sure there are other hurdles to be overcome. I'd certainly appreciate the feedback and documentation but you need to be aware that this is really an alpha version.
