Today I uploaded a preview source code copy of Viking which contains the ability to generate maps using the Mapnik C++ library [1]
https://github.com/rnorris/viking/compare/MapnikRenderingLayer I have successfully created maps using the current OSM Carto[2] and OSM Bright[3] stylesheets. I invite any feedback/queries about this change which will then be included into the git head in anticipation of a formal 1.6 release in due course (perhaps beginning of March). Note that this means building Viking now uses a C++ compiler and Mapnik dependencies by default (although it's usage can disabled via configure parameters) So far I have only tested this under Debian Sid - hopefully it should work with other distributions. ATM Building dependencies for Windows is too complicated so this functionality will not included for the time being.
