I am compiling a tileserver stack from scratch (on Slackware 14.2, with only python3 installed), testing new versions before updating an old (mostly) working install.

Everything has gone well so far, but I get c++ compile errors when building mapnik-python current against more recent mapnik versions.

These seem to be due to API changes (header files moved and renamed, classes shifted about within the files, etc.

I managed to fix the first few errors by editing various #include lines to point to the right place, but now have run into actual compile-time interface issues (calling functions that don't exist etc).

Here are the first few errors, the fixing of which triggered the next in knock-on fashion;

src/mapnik_datasource.cpp:37:37: fatal error: mapnik/geometry/box2d.hpp: No such file or directory

src/mapnik_datasource_cache.cpp:31:34: fatal error: mapnik/value/types.hpp: No such file or directory

src/mapnik_envelope.cpp:33:37: fatal error: mapnik/geometry/box2d.hpp: No such file or directory

src/mapnik_envelope.cpp:34:34: fatal error: mapnik/value/error.hpp: No such file or directory

src/mapnik_envelope.cpp:34:29: fatal error: mapnik/values.hpp: No such file or directory

src/mapnik_envelope.cpp: In function 'mapnik::box2d from_string(const string&)': src/mapnik_envelope.cpp:61:15: error: 'value_error' is not a member of 'mapnik' throw mapnik::value_error(ss.str());

src/mapnik_feature.cpp:37:34: fatal error: mapnik/value/types.hpp: No such file or directory

src/mapnik_geometry.cpp:38:45: fatal error: mapnik/geometry/geometry_type.hpp: No such file or directory

Then I get these, which I do not think can be fixed with simple filename hacks:

src/mapnik_geometry.cpp: In function 'void polygon_add_ring_impl(mapnik::geometry::polygon&, const mapnik::geometry::linear_ring&)': src/mapnik_geometry.cpp:193:10: error: 'struct mapnik::geometry::polygon' has no member named 'push_back' poly.push_back(ring); // copy ^ src/mapnik_geometry.cpp: In function 'void export_geometry()': src/mapnik_geometry.cpp:268:28: error: 'size' is not a member of 'mapnik::geometry::polygon' .def("num_rings", &polygon::size, "Number of rings")

While I appreciate that these are complicated software packages doing very tricky things, and I am glad folks are working to make it possible in the open source realm, I must say, I've been trying to get a cleanly installed tile-server (via repeatable process) running via apache for 2 or 3 years now and never quite managed. There is always some version incompatibility or compilation fudging needing to be done, or some niggly error message filling up the error logs (presuming I can get some combination of versions working together). Python versioning and install/configure systems providing most of the headache - everyone is using a different packaging system...

I have tried to attach my full install process as a text file, but github says 'error', so here it is inline (there earlier parts up until the current errors)

As root, create the folders:

/usr/local/tileserver/ /usr/local/tileserver/bin

Perform the following for root user and normal user:

nano ~/.bashrc

add to the file:

. /etc/profile

Then, as root, modify /etc/profile to add to PATH:

/usr/local/tileserver/bin

As root, modify /etc/ld.so.conf - add the following lines:

/usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib64 /usr/local/tileserver/lib /usr/local/tileserver/lib64

As 'data-wranger' [non-root] user:
