[mapserver-users] PythonMapscript Installation under Windows

[Schuster]

Hi everybody,


I tried to compile pythonMapscript (MS 3.6.2) under Windows 2000 with Python 

2.1.3, SWIG 1.3.15 and MSVC7 compiler, using Norman Vine's setup.py script.
I tried to modified it to reflect windows requirements concerning directories
and 

libraries. 
When I run the setup, there is a problem when building the MapScriptc
extension.
I get the following error (translated from german):

mapscript_wrap.obj: error LNK2001: unresolved external Symbol initMapscriptc
build\temp.win32-2.1\Release\MapScriptc.lib: fatal error LNK 1120: 1 unresolved


external references
LINK : fatal error LNK1141: build export file error
error: command 'link.exe failed with exit status 1141

Has anybody had simliar problems or gathered experience building the mapscript 

extension for python under windows? I attach below the modified setup script in


case someone wants to take a look at it.

TIA, Grit


------------------------
setup.py:

#! /usr/bin/env python
# Distutils setup for UMN Mapserver mapscript v.3.5
# Norman Vine 11/10/2001

# On cygwin this will require my Distutils mods available @
# http://www.vso.cape.com/~nhv/files/python/mydistutils.txt
# Should work as is on 'Unix' like systems
# needs testing on Windows compilers other then Cygwin

# To Install
# build mapserver
# Copy this file to $MAPSERVER_SRC / mapscript / python
# invoke as ./setup.py install

# should work on any python version with Distutils
