Hello everyone, I finally managed to get tilemill to work, thanks to Yohan's kind and patient help. It wasn't an easy one, I had to pull a bunch of git repos and compile lots of code, but I now get pdfs out. I wrote a short python script to produce tiled pdfs, I'll try to share it on github when I get some time to clean it up and make it reusable.
I just wanted to "close" this thread, and thank you all for your reactivity. I'll share some pics of the printed map as soon as it's ready. Also, I'll be sending a separate email shortly asking for some more HOT help. thanks again from Congo, Laurent 2013/9/18 Laurent Savaëte <laurent.sava...@gmail.com> > Hi Yohan, > > I'm sending you details in a private email.
