[Mapserver-users] GDAL, TIFF, JPEG Question

[Eduardo Patto Kanegae]

Hi perry,

this a very good comment....

I've just compiled one that gets:

MapServer version 4.0.1 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
OUTPUT=PDF SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE
SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT
SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT INPUT=TIFF
INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

and had never stop to think about that TIFF and JPEG support can be replaced by GDAL....

you mean that MapServer can be a bigger or more "fat" binany if I use GDAL with TIFF and JPEG?

thanks.
