[Mapserver-users] Mapserver 4 Makefile for VC + compile probl ems

Thu Oct 9 11:43:09 PDT 2003

Hello:

You will certainly need to compile the required libraries before you proceed
compiling mapserver.

Please find in the attachment my gd makefile, that should work for command
line compilation of GD. You will need to download the version 2+ from,
http://www.boutell.com/gd

Now here is a simple solution to compiling mapserver 4,

1) Download required libraries that is (Please find links for all these at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc40/win32_compile-howto.html),
   a)GD Library 
   b)PNG library
   c)Zlib
   d)Regex

GD in turn needs,
   a) Zlib and,
   b) Freetype
(You should be able to comment out JPEG stuff in the included makefile for
GD and compile the same).

Alternatively you can compile GD easily using the MSVC++ workspace too...

As mentioned in the
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc40/win32_compile-howto.html the following
are optional,

1) Proj.4- easy compile-clean makefile
2) GDAL - easy compile-clean makefile
3) LIBTIFF-  easy compile-clean makefile
4) LIBJPEG- kind of messy
5) ArcSDE - I have not tried this option
6) EPPL7 - included with mapserver src., you will have turn on a switch for
this to get included.

Follow the instructions in mapserver docs, for compile for
commenting/uncomenting (including, excluding) options.....

Compile these libraries in your project directory first...

Download mapserver source., from here,
http://cvs.gis.umn.edu/dist/mapserver-4.0.tar.gz ( this one should not cause
any troubles..)

You probably do not want the CVS one which is a developer version., certain
things may be unstable there)... 

Mapserver make is a breeze too. Just turn on  the required libraries in the
nmake.opt and follow instructions in makefile.vc.

It should all work right...

Bon Appetite!
Gayathri

PS: Please do let me know if you would like for me to help in this process.,
that is FTP to a site you would mention, my compiled libraries, makefiles
etc...If yes,let me know of the FTP location, username, passwd...

problems

Hi

Item #1:
Does anyone have a makefile.vc for the GD-2.x version that will compile with
Visual C 6? So far I have got to the point where the mapserver compile stops
at this library.

Item #2:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?MapServerCompilation
and http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?MicrosoftWindows

on the wiki site does not really explain compiling very well for mapserver
using Visual C++ Ver 6.

(Specifically the use of the nmake site)

I was wondering if someone could post their instructions.

I believe that I may be trying to compile mapserver before the other
supportin libraries are compiled. If it is correct to assume that the
supportuing libraries are to be compiled before mapserver, would someone
shed some light on their "best" solution?

thanks,
Stephen
