[Mapserver-users] Mapserver 4 Makefile for VC + compile problems

Fri Oct 10 10:52:07 PDT 2003

Brent and others,

Thanks for the effort with my compilation problems.
We should post an update to the WIKI and the DOCS for MS 4.0 and the
supporting libraries that have changes since:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc40/win32_compile-howto.html

was originally written.

thanks,
Stephen
