BuildingOnWindows
To build mapnik on Windows with Visual Studio you need experience with Visual Studio and C++ development experience in general. Mapnik has a relatively large list of dependencies. I've tried to automate a large part of the process with the batch file below. I've only tested with the versions of the libraries listed below. Boost is not included here, it needs to be build separately.
This build includes all libraries statically. That way you can make one self-contained binary.
To build under MSVC, you need to patch the code a bit (as of mapnik 0.7.1). Search the trac for patches by me (roel_v), there are 4 of them.
For the libraries where no build system is available out of the box, you can download the project files from the mapnik php extension at https://github.com/roel-v/php_mapnik .
This setup assumes a directory structure where all libraries are stored under a 'thirdparty' directory, where the .lib files will be copied to.
Working as of Januari 2011. Don't just blindly copy and paste, it's more a recipe for the steps to take than an actual working script. You still need to follow the instructions in the comments.
