Cloning v3.0.18 #104

Closed dashwonders closed 6 years ago

dashwonders commented 6 years ago

Good afternoon mapnik-support,

This is neither a bug or issue. I am new to using git and mapnik, and I have an elementary question: How do I clone mapnik 3.0.18 instead of the master branch? The instructions I am following are:

git clone https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik.git --depth 10 cd mapnik git submodule update --init git submodule update --init deps/mapbox/variant bash source bootstrap.sh ./configure && make make test sudo make install

I realized, however, this is compiling mapnik 3.1.0 causing errors owing to dependencies. Following recommendation in issue #100 by @springmeyer, I would like to get either v3.0.17 or preferably v3.0.18 instead of the master branch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I think that the processes is basically right. If you don't want to develop Mapnik, don't use the bootstrap thing. Its only purpose is to make environment under which all visual tests are passing.

This should work well:

git clone
git submodule update --init
./configure && make

If you want to use some release version like v3.0.18, just checkout the corresponding git tag. If you want the latest Mapnik from 3.0.x series, there is a branch v3.0.x.

@dashwonders you will need to check out the right branch

git checkout v3.0.x

This is the current development branch of the v3.0.x series.

You can also check out a specific tag this same way. A tag is how we mark released versions.

git checkout v3.0.18
