[Mapserver-users] Error when compiling mapserver in win32.

[Ed McNierney]

Gayathri -

REGEX under Windows provides by far the highest pain/code ratio of any module in the system!

The problem mainly stems from a very bad Windows makefile for regex-0.12.  Here's what I do to fix it.

1. Go to the regex-0.12 directory and do "nmake /f makefile.vc regex.obj".  Be sure to explicitly state the regex.obj target - otherwise the makefile will attempt to build a bunch of stuff that won't build.

2. Edit your MapServer makefile so the "clean" target (at the end) does NOT delete regex.obj.

All you need out of this library is the regex.obj file.

Hi:

I do have the regex from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/regex/regex-0.12.tar.gz
and my Makefile.vc looks like this,

#REGEX_OBJ=.\regex-0.12\regex.obj
REGEX_INC=-I../regex-0.12

and PHP REGEX looks as follows:

#
# IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT REGEX FOR PHP_MAPSCRIPT USERS:
#
# If you want to compile the PHP_MAPSCRIPT module, then you have to make
# MapServer uses the same version of the REGEX library that PHP was 
# compiled with:
#
#PHP_REGEX=..\php-3.0.14\regex
#PHP_REGEX=..\php-4.0.6\regex
#PHP_REGEX=..\php-4.1.2\regex
#PHP_REGEX=..\php-4.2.1\regex
#PHP_REGEX=..\php-4.2.2\regex
#REGEX_OBJ=$(PHP_REGEX)\regcomp.obj $(PHP_REGEX)\regerror.obj \
#          $(PHP_REGEX)\regexec.obj $(PHP_REGEX)\regfree.obj
#REGEX_INC=-I$(PHP_REGEX) -DPHP_NO_ALIASES

#
# REGEX needs some special flags... here they are for VC++ 6.0
#
REGEX_OPT=-DHAVE_STRING_H -DREGEX_MALLOC

Am still getting errors though, any lead?
Thanks,
Gayathri
