INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
First, here is a quick list of the software dependencies:
|
|
|
|
- Linux/UNIX with g++ compiler
|
|
|
|
- libboost 1.32.0 or greater with the following libraries included:
|
|
- thread
|
|
- wserialization
|
|
- filesystem
|
|
- regex
|
|
- (Optional) program_options
|
|
- (Optional) python
|
|
|
|
- libpng
|
|
- libjpeg
|
|
- libtiff
|
|
- libz
|
|
- libfreetype2
|
|
- (Optional) PostgreSQL libraries
|
|
|
|
- Python 1.5.2 or greater to build Mapnik
|
|
- (Optional) Python 2.2 or greater for the Python language bindings
|
|
|
|
All of these will normally come with any modern Linux distribution.
|
|
|
|
If your system does NOT have one of these installed, you will need to install the mandatory ones at the very least before proceeding further. Instructions on how to do this will come with each individual package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Once you've installed the required software packages, the simplest way to build mapnik is to run "scons" (The software builder) without any options:
|
|
|
|
$ cd /path/to/mapnik-sourcecode
|
|
$ /path/to/python scons/scons.py
|
|
|
|
This should compile and link the mapnik library, the input plugins and the python language binding (if possible). If any mandatory dependencies are not found the build will fail, and you will need to specify custom paths to your libraries and include files (see below).
|
|
|
|
Note that the python used to run "scons" does NOT have to be the same as the one used for the python bindings.
|
|
|
|
"scons" accepts a variety of options to customize your build. This allows you to specify which components are compiled, where to find dependencies, where to install mapnik, and so on.
|
|
|
|
To see the list of available options, from the root of the source distribution, run:
|
|
|
|
$ /path/to/python scons/scons.py -h
|
|
|
|
You will get:

This help should be self-explanatory!
|
|
|
|
For example, if you compiled your own set of Boost libraries, you might use:
|
|
|
|
$ /path/to/python scons/scons.py BOOST_INCLUDES=/usr/local/include/boost-1_33_1 BOOST_LIBS=/usr/local/lib
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Once the build has successfully completed, you can install the various files on your system by executing:
|
|
|
|
$ /path/to/python scons/scons.py install
|
|
|
|
By default, everything will be installed under the PREFIX '/usr/local' as such:
|
|
|
|
$PREFIX/lib: libmapnik.so
|
|
$PREFIX/lib/mapnik/input: input plug-ins
|
|
$PREFIX/include: mapnik include files
|
|
$PREFIX/bin: shapeindex utility
|
|
$PYTHON_PREFIX/lib/python$PYTHON_VERSION/site-packages/mapnik: Python bindings
|
|
|
|
If you're using the default PREFIX, you will most likely need to be root to perform the install.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Test
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
There currently are no easy way to test your setup, other than write some code to generate a map.
|
|
|
|
One simple thing you can do is try to load the Python module, and make sure it does so without errors:
|
|
|
|
$ /path/to/python
|
|
Python 2.4.2 (#1, Jan 11 2006, 10:59:28)
|
|
[GCC 3.4.4 20050721 (Red Hat 3.4.4-2)] on linux2
