[mapserver-users] Mapserver 5.4.1 for MS4W??

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Problem resolved. This was a weird one in my book. I turns out that the 
mapfile got corrupted somehow. The mapfile was good on my linux system 
it was zipped up and sent to the windows system. We had to edit the 
SHAPEPATH, FONTSET and SYMBOLSET values in wordpad. Somewhere along the 
line 5 random characters in the mapfile got corrupted. Below is the good 
  mapfile from my linux system that worked. On the windows version the 
SIZE 12 got changed to SIZE ?2

Any after spending all day transferring my build stuff to the windows 
server and getting it to build there I finally got a working mapserv.exe 
based on 5.4.1 and it generated the same error below. Since I was logged 
into the Windows box, I was decided to edit the mapfile to work around 
the problem, and noticed the corrupted line. Fixed it and reran the test 
... four more times fixing additional corrupt lines and it finally 
worked, 5 minutes before the box had to be powered down and moved to the 
coloc center.

So I didn't get a change to retest with ms4w and mapserver-5.4.0-RC2 
with the repaired mapfile and won't have a chance before next week 
sometime if I can get access then.

So on a side note, I have some questions about building stuff on windows 
if anyone with knowledge would like to contact me off list, I would 
appreciate the chance for a few questions.

Thanks,
   -Steve
