[mapserver-users] PythonMapscript Installation under Windows

[Michael Schulz]

Hi Norman, Dear List,

thanks to your hints, it seems we finally succeeded in buidling python
mapscript on w2000 with python 2.1.3, swig 1.3.15, msvc7. We had to make
one more change to the setup.py (changing the name of the module from
"MapScript" to "mapscript").
Then another error came up: the function "snprintf" (in mapscript.i) is
obviously not existing for msvc, we used "vsnprintf" instead.
Now the linker kept complaining about multiple defined symbols, using
/NODEFAULTLIB to no avail. So we added /FORCE and it worked - well, not
nice, but who cares?

We haven't done any testing. But import mapscript and mapscript.MS_VERSION
work - we'll dig deeper next week. Thanks for your help. I have attached
the last setup.py that worked for us under windows 2000.

Cheers, Michael

# 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
