Mapnik is an open source toolkit for developing mapping applications. At the core is a C++ shared library providing algorithms and patterns for spatial data access and visualization.

Mapnik is basically a collection of geographic objects like maps, layers, datasources, features, and geometries. The library doesn't rely on any OS specific "windowing systems" and it can be deployed to any server environment. It is intended to play fair in a multi-threaded environment and is aimed primarily, but not exclusively, at web-based development.

For further information see http://mapnik.org and also our wiki documentation.

We use vcpkg to install demendenices. some dependencies must be built using icu as follows:

vcpkg install boost-locale[icu] boost-regex[icu] boost --triplet x64-windows --recurse

Currently there is a bug in boost:Spirit for boost version 1.71 which is fixed in version 1.72 and when it is updated to in vcpkge it works fine with this fork. I'll try to keep this fork uptodate.
