## Compiling
1. Modify [source:trunk/demo/viewer/viewer.pro viewer.pro] to match your system include and lib directories for boost, your mapnik build, unicode, and freetype.
1. Modify [viewer.pro](https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/blob/master/demo/viewer/viewer.pro) to match your system include and lib directories for boost, your mapnik build, unicode, and freetype.
* Most default installs put the mapnik libs and includes in `usr/local`, thus requiring an include like:
#!sh
```sh
INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/include/mapnik
```
* And a lib like:
#!sh
```sh
unix:LIBS += -L/usr/local/lib -lmapnik
```
* And to link boost, freetype, and unicode from macports on Mac 10.5, for example, would require:
#!sh
```sh
INCLUDEPATH += /opt/local/include/boost-1_35
INCLUDEPATH += /opt/local/include/unicode
INCLUDEPATH += /opt/local/include/freetype2
INCLUDEPATH += /opt/local/include
unix:LIBS += -L/opt/local/lib -lfreetype
```
* Since Ubuntu 10.04 those settings are enough:
```sh
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS +=' -ansi'
INCLUDEPATH += /usr/include/freetype2
LIBS += -lmapnik
```
* A patch for Mac OS 10.5 is [attachment:wiki:MapnikViewer:viewer.patch viewable here], and [downloadable here](http://trac.mapnik.org/raw-attachment/wiki/MapnikViewer/viewer.patch)
2. Modify main.cpp by setting the correct paths to Mapnik's plug-ins and fonts directories
* [source:trunk/demo/viewer/main.cpp?order=date&desc=1#L33 Lines 33 - 37]
* https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/blob/master/demo/viewer/main.cpp#L46
* On most systems these lines should point to`/usr/local/lib/mapnik/`
#!sh
```sh
datasource_cache::instance()->register_datasources("/usr/local/lib/mapnik/input");
freetype_engine::register_font("/usr/local/lib/mapnik/fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf");
freetype_engine::register_font("/usr/local/lib/mapnik/fonts/DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf");
freetype_engine::register_font("/usr/local/lib/mapnik/fonts/DejaVuSansMono.ttf");
```
3. Then run Qmake to generate a makefile
#!sh
```sh
cd mapnik-svn-tree/demo/viewer
qmake -makefile
```
On Mac OSX the above will generate an Xcodeproject. To generate a normal Makefile do:
#!sh
```sh
qmake -spec macx-g++
```
4. Finally, run Make to build the *viewer.app* or *viewer.exe*
#!sh
```sh
make
```
(On OS X, you may need to instead run "open viewer.xcodeproj" to open the project in Apple's XCode environment.)
* Your make output should be something like:
#!sh
```sh
$ make
make -f Makefile.Release
/opt/local/bin/uic forms/about.ui -o ui_about.h

```
* If it fails you need to go back to the viewer.pro and set more lib and include paths
* A successful build will output the ready to run graphical program in that directory.
## Usage
Double click on the resulting application (viewer.app on Mac OS)
* You can then load map files from the file menu (make sure you have absolute paths set to datasources).
* Hit the *Home* button to zoom to the data extent.
* The rest should be obvious.
You can also load your XML files when launching the viewer from a terminal:
#!sh
```sh
# On linux this would look like:
# ./viewer /path/to/your.xml
# On mac this would look like:
$ ./viewer.app/Contents/MacOS/viewer /path/to/your.xml
# or
$ open -a viewer
```
or
#!sh
```sh
# ./viewer your.xml -1,50,1,52
```
or
#!sh
```sh
# ./viewer # (open your.xml from file menu)
```
