Re: [mapserver-users] Build Perl-Mapscript om Windows
Helmut, I would start by downloading a Windows build SDK (scroll midpage, until you find the header: *GDAL and MapServer build SDK packages (provides to compile MapServer and GDAL by yourself)*) from: http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/ and then extend the build to include Perl mapscript. It might not be easy but it's probably your best shot. You could also check if MS4W includes Perl mapscript. hth, Umberto On Mon, Feb 18, 2013 at 4:46 PM, Helmut Seidel M.A. i...@knowhow-la.dewrote: Hello everybody, my employer wants me to start a mapserver project with perl MapScript in a Windows environment, as we do most of our programming in Perl.

Re: [mapserver-users] Build Perl-Mapscript om Windows
Hello, MS4W does not include Perl mapscript (it does include PHP, CSharp, Python, and Java mapscript). http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml If you wish to fund the development time to add/test Perl mapscript into MS4W you can contact me directly. We did make some attempts years back, but it would be great to dedicate some time on this to make it happen. In general you'll find that PHP mapscript is the most widely used and supported.

Re: [mapserver-users] Build Perl-Mapscript om Windows
Hi, Just gave it a try and I could successfully compile Perl this way: 1. Install ActivePerl-5.16.2.1602-MSWin32-x86-296513.msihttp://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads/thank-you?dl=http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/releases/5.16.2.1602/ActivePerl-5.16.2.1602-MSWin32-x86-296513.msi into a given folder (ie: C:\Perl) 2. Download the SDK package http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/PackageList.aspx?file=release-1500-dev.zip Extract these files into a folder, let's say: E:\builds 3. Checkout mapserver sources into the SDK root, ie: E:\builds\mapserver 4. Open Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt 5. Change directory to E:\builds cd E:\builds 6. Compile mapserver: nmake ms MS_DIR=mapserver 7. Go to perl dir: cd mapserver\mapscript\perl 8. Copy the attached makefile.vc into this subdirectory 9. Compile the Perl bindings nmake -f makefile.vcEXT_NMAKE_OPT=E:\builds\release-1500\mapserver.opt PERL_DIR=C:\Perl I suspect Perl may have a more sophisticated compilation approach, but my knowledge of Pearl is near to nothing.
