[Mapserver-users] Building MapServer for Max OS X (10.3)

[William K]

Bill,

Woohoo!  I was a bit under the weather today, enough to stay home, not 
enough that I couldn't add a MapServer build page to my site.  Also 
reorganized the general info a bit.

About PostGreSQL + PostGIS - yeah, there were some issues back then, 
but even as far back as 7.3.3 I got it working with a simple configure, 
make, install.  The key was to NOT use a -O3 optimizing CFLAG (that was 
an old habit of mine).  You shouldn't have to use Fink.  I haven't 
tried PostGre recently (7.4.x + 0.8.x), but it should be easy, no-fuss. 
  (PostGIS is not a big priority for me, but I could check it out if you 
have problems.)


Take a look, let me know if you have any questions, enjoy.

All generalizations are dangerous, even this one.
