How to compile MapServer (with ArcSDE)?

[Bart van den Eijnden]

See:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc46/win32_compile-howto.html

The MS4W binaries don't have ArcSDE support.

The Hobu kitchen sink binaries should have them:

Hi list,
 
I have MapServer running and until now I only used shapefiles as input. Now I want to make a connection with ArcSDE. The MapServerWiki: MapServerSDE (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?MapServerSDE) tells me:

How to make a connection to SDE:


1.	Install the SDE C API client libraries for your platform (preferably matched to the server version you are using, ie 8.2 client -> 8.2 server, 8.3 client -> 8.3 server) 
2.	Compile MapServer with SDE support (see http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc40/unix-install-howto.html for specific details) 
3.	Define a LAYER block in a MapFile that uses SDE as the CONNECTIONTYPE 

I don't know how to perform step 2. I have MapServer running by simply using the MS4W installer but don't know how to compile. Can someone offer me somehelp? Is it possible to enable SDE support with this MS4W-install of MapServer?

Kind regards,
