<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Mapserver Users,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been using Mapserver 3.5 on (Solaris/Apache
web server). To introduce more flexibility at the front end I have been using
our own middleware and perl scripts to produce dynamic HTML - to provide
additional information on mouseover. BUT it's not enough.....
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>.... we want to be able to turn on/off layers,
mouse over to provide extra information and links to images or other pages, use
nice icons dynamically at the front end. Flash might be the way to go to
provide snazzy maps. I know nothing about it at the moment though.
I've downloaded Mapserver 3.6.1 and the ming library. When I try to
compile Mapserver with the --with-ming=yes/usr/src/ming-0.2a nothing seems to
happen..... i.e. the configure seems to ignore the fact that I've asked for
ming support. Do I need PHP to use ming?? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Could someone give a bit of direction here
? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>TIA.</DIV>
