Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Compilation issues with gd.h on Linux 64bit

[Xin]

Here are the changes that were made to get mapserver compiling on my 64 bit box.  Hopefully this will help someone.

Here are the changes that needs to be made:

1. Change configure.in so that configuration file can find libgd in /usr/lib/64
2. Set library folder to /usr/X11R6/lib64 so that libXpm.so and libXext.so can be found
3. Prompt it to load libXext

 

1.1          Configuration Changes

1. Open up configure.in for editing
2. Edit file so that $GD_INCLUDE=/usr/include and $GD_LIBDIR=/usr/lib64

4. On line 501, just before an if statement, add these lines:

                                                               i.       GD_INCLUDE=/usr/include

                                                             ii.      GD_LIBDIR=/usr/lib64

3. Parse configure.in to make configuration script.
1. %> autoconf –o configure2 configu re.in

5. Run configure2 with normal options and --with-xpm=/usr/X11R6/lib64.  This will produce  'Makefile' file
1. %> ./ configure2 --with-gd=/usr/local \

--with-ogr=/home/isharema/usr/bin/gdal-config \

  --with-gdal=/home/isharema/usr/bin/gdal-config \

  --with-proj=$HOME/usr \

  --with-freetype \

--with-jpeg \

--with-xpm=/usr/X11R6/ lib64

6. Open Mapfile for editing
1. Go to line 211 and 212
2. Include –lXext to load Xext library.  This will make both CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS equal to

                                                               i.        -O2 -fPIC -Wall -lXext  $(FLAGS)

7. type make
1.  %> make

 

That's it!
