Error "The C++ Standard doesn't provide a hash for this type." when building NETMapnik with Visual Studio 2015

[petrpokorny]

Hi, I am trying to build this project on Windows (64bit). I did download and setup all dependencies. However I am getting the following error: "The C++ Standard doesn't provide a hash for this type." It looks like it is caused by external code in vector_tile_backend_pbf.hpp in mapnik-vector-tile project. Is this a known issue and is there solution for it? Or Visual Studio 2015 is not supported yet? (I noticed Visual Studio 2015 RC in requirements)

Thank you!

Or Visual Studio 2015 is not supported yet? (I noticed Visual Studio 2015 RC in requirements)

It is not supported yet. :cry:

I have not had time build this project against VS2015 RTM yet. There is a vs2015-rtm branch and i greatly welcome pull requests if you end up making any progress in this area.

@petrpokorny FYI I branched off @jbrwn 's vs2015-rtm branch to get latest mapnik working.

https://github.com/jbrwn/NET-Mapnik/compare/vs2015-rtm...BergWerkGIS:vs2015-rtm

Also not working yet as I'm tight on resources and mapnik is moving very fast at the moment. e.g. I think the clipper version needed for mapnik-vector-tile has already changed again since I last worked on it.

Nevertheless you might want to take a look at my branch, to get an idea what is currently needed.

Thanks for hints! I am not c++ developer so it is challenge for me :-) I pulled out the branch and was able to solve some minor problems, mostly in mapnik-vector-tile project and these are pretty nasty hacks.

However now i have a problem with mapnik_map.hpp Map::Render method where the overloaded apply_visitor is not correctly resolved from parameters.

            image_ptr i = image->NativeObject();
            mapnik::request m_req((*_map)->width(), (*_map)->height(), (*_map)->get_current_extent());
            m_req.set_buffer_size(buffer_size);

            agg_renderer_visitor visit(
                *(*_map),
                m_req,
                variables,
                scale_factor,
                offset_x,
                offset_y,
                scale_denominator
            );
                        // THE COMPILER COMPLAINS HERE:
            mapnik::util::apply_visitor(visit, *i);

I think it should resolve to:

template <typename V, typename F>
auto VARIANT_INLINE static apply_visitor(F f, V & v) -> decltype(V::visit(v, f))
{
    return V::visit(v, f);
}
