Win32 Compilation

[Ted Quinby]

I’m trying to recompile my mapserver binaries to match the latest stable
release (4.6.2).  Last year, I successfully compiled Mapserver from source
(4.2.2) with all of the options I wanted in a Win32 environment.  So, I have
a basic understanding of what I’m doing – although I’m certainly not a pro
at compiling C code in windows.

I’ve followed the Win32 Compilation and Installation “How-To” document very
closely and am first trying to build a very basic version (only GD, Regex,
and PROJ included).

When I compile Mapserver, it seems to fail – although there is no message to
that effect.  The last message in the window (besides writing to
mapscriptvars) is the following:

“shptreevis.c
link shptreevis.obj mapserver_i.lib c:/projects/gd/gdwin32/bgd.lib
C:\projects\proj\proj-4.4.9/src/proj_i.lib”

The output of mapscriptvars is as follows:
C:\projects\mapserver\mapserver-4.6.2
-DHAVE_STRING_H -DREGEX_MALLOC -DNEED_STRCASECMP -DNEED_STRNCASECMP
-DNEED_STRLCAT -DWIN32 -D_WIN32 -DUSE_PROJ -DUSE_PROJ_API_H -DUSE_GD_PNG

c:\projects\proj\proj-4.4.9/src/proj_i.lib
mapserver.lib c:/projects/gd/gdwin32/bgd.lib
c:\projects\proj\proj-4.4.9/src/proj_i.lib
#define MS_VERSION "4.6.2"

I checked all of my directory paths and have verified that bgd.lib and
proj_i.lib exist where they should.

I get a Mapserver.exe that is only 36K.

When I execute Mapserver –v at the command prompt, I get the following error:

“The ordinal 134 could not be located in the dynamic link library bgd.dll”

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!
