compiling MapServer in Win XP

[Francesco Sozzi]

Hi Giuseppe,

Time ago I had the same need and, yes, I had to modify map.h and compile 
myself.
But I've never experimented your problem. I've just looked for iconv.h in my 
files and I did not find.
Here you are my mapserver options (these does not require iconv.h):

MapServer version 4.8.1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP 
OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER 
SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT 
SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER INPUT=ORACLESPATIAL INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE 
DEBUG=MSDEBUG

I've also seen you're using VC6. I had many troubles with this compiler in 
Windows environment (I also use Win XP).
I work better with VC7.

Regards

Francesco

PS: do you really need so many layers?... For instance in my case I had a 
customer that wanted to separately load 600 rasters. Now he loads all 
rasters in only one layer with tile index tecnique.
