Update the Mapserver installation documentation to reflect the move to cmake

Open havatv opened this issue 11 years ago • 4 comments

Mapserver has migrated from autotools to cmake ( mapserver/mapserver#4617 ). This change only seems to be reflected in the installation documentation as a warning in unix.txt that the documentation is not up to date. At least unix.txt needs to be updated. Please add other files that need to be updated.

@tbonfort, could you check if the update to unix.txt is OK? Are there other files that need an update?

@tbonfort, I am eager to close this issue, so I will repeat my question from 2014: Could you check that the update to unix.txt is OK? Are there other files that need an update?

I just had a quick look, thank you for your additions. Here's a few things that would need updating:

  • GD support has been removed
  • SDE support has been removed
  • RSVG can be used as an alternative to CAIROSVG
  • HARFBUZZ support should be added (requires FRIBIDI and vice-versa)
  • Libtiff/libgeotiff has been removed

RSVG was already mentioned. In the latest commit I have tried to address the other issues. Please have a look, @tbonfort. In the INSTALL.CMAKE file, SDE support is still described. Is that a mistake?
