Installing Mapserver on MacOSX (by source)

Just noticed that William of kyngchaos has updated the mapserver binary for MacOSX.

But right now, I need to tile these images bought from GeoEye, so I need TIFF support. Below is a summary of getting Mapserver installed by source. Note that I have the necessary GEOS, GDAL from kyngchaos as well from this ealier post.

1. Download the ff files:
   -rw-r--r--@ 1 rupert  admin   564313 Jul 26 10:32 agg-2.5.tar.gz<br /> -rw-r--r--@ 1 rupert  admin  1345700 Jul 26 10:22 gd-2.0.35.tar.gz<br /> -rw-r--r--@ 1 rupert  admin   613261 Jul 26 10:22 jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz<br /> -rw-r--r--@ 1 rupert  admin   796551 Jul 26 10:22 libpng-1.2.29.tar.gz<br /> -rw-r--r--@ 1 rupert  admin  1948751 Jul 26 09:55 mapserver-5.2.0.tar.gz<br /> -rw-r--r--@ 1 rupert  admin  1336295 Jul 26 11:11 tiff-3.8.2.tar.gz

2. Install in the ff order:

– jpegsrc
– libpng
– gd (if you have trouble installing gd, then follow this pdf:installing_gd2_on_os_x_server)
– agg (make only)
– tiff
– mapserver

1. For mapserver, please install using the ff configure switches:

./configure \
--with-agg=/myhome/rupert/mapserver/agg-2.5 \
--with-jpeg \
--with-gd \
--with-freetype \
--with-png \
--with-ogr \
--with-proj \
--with-gd \
--with-httpd=/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd \
--with-tiff \
--with-wfs \
--with-wcs \
--with-sos \
--with-wmsclient \
--with-wfsclient \
--with-tiff \
--with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal/gdal-config \
--with-geos=/usr/local/bin/geos-config \
--with-postgis=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config
