Hi, I have a working Mapnik installation somewhere at home on my Vista laptop. It was rather painful to get working but I managed in it with some help from Mapnik mailing list and off-list. I try to see from old mails if I can find some help for you. My Mapnik has been idle for some time now and I have not bothered to think about it lately.
When it comes to the sea, coastline dataset is land polygons. The sea is all blue on the bottom, over that comes these land polygons and next all the other data. Thus you are now rendering only an empty canvas. -Jukka Rahkonen- > -----Alkuperäinen viesti----- > Lähettäjä: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] Puolesta Tom Brennan > Lähetetty: 1. joulukuuta 2009 15:01 > Vastaanottaja: [email protected] > Aihe: [Mapnik-users] Running Mapnik on Postgres under Windows > > Hi > > Over the past couple of weeks I've been trying to get Mapnik > up and running on Windows, initially Vista, now Windows 7. > After much trial and error I've got OSM data into the database > - install Postgres (8.3)/PostGIS (1.4.0) > - install Python (2.5) & Perl > - install osm2pgsql & Mapnik (0.6.1) > - load OSM data to database gis (user brennant, no password) > using osm2pgsql > - download and extract world boundaries, shoreline etc shapefiles > - create/run set-mapnik-env.bat, run customize-mapnik-map to > make osm.xml, and edit to fix up Windows related issues > > For the past several days I have been trying to run > generate_image.py.
