[Mapserver-users] Compiling PHP_MapScript.dll

[Mike Leahy]

Rebecca,

Thanks for the help, although I've actually already got those binaries.  They 
work fine for me with the exception of the PostGIS driver which returns errors 
when querying PostGIS layers.  Someone has posted a copy of the mappostgis.c 
with a fix in it on the PostGIS users list, so in order use it I had to either 
wait for new binaries to be compiled with this fixed driver, or get mapserver 
to compile myself.  

Although I got the exe's to compile, I'm still missing the MapScript DLL, plus 
I'm also missing some of the other DLLs that usually included with the usual 
binary distribution.  I can still use the old DLLs I guess, but I doubt I 
won't run into problems later on if they're not the right versions...

Mike
