Hi All! I have been using this Windows build system for a while: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mapniknet/
I could build Mapnik very easily with it. Its about some patching and build binaries from a one and only Visual Studio solution, and it also contains all of external dependencies (that one of the hardest part of building Mapnik) Note, it takes more than one hour to build, so don't worry if you see it is 'slow'. It builds against the Mapnik trunk. It works great, I have rendered thousands of map tiles with it so far without any problem using its .Net wrapper. It contains shape file, SQLite and PostGIS plugin, I tested the first two, they work. I don't know about SQL Server plugin, I hope it can be solved. Also there is a discussion about this topic at Stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5465655/using-mapnik-in-net-environment/6750088#6750088 As I know, Roel's GSOC Windows build project is cancelled because of some private things, but as He wrote me he would get back at Mapnik as soon as He can, but he don't know its exact date... Hope it helps, BR: Tamas On Oct 8, 2011, at 12:00 PM, [email protected] wrote: > Send Mapnik-users mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [email protected] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Mapnik-users digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
