mapnik-config parameters don't work with 2.0

[pnorman]

d0dab6e (#83) introduced getting Mapnik's dependencies with $MAPNIK_CONFIG --dep-includes. The problem is, this doesn't seem to exist with Mapnik 2.0, where this output is generated in the Makefile

MAPNIK_CFLAGS = -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/gdal -I/usr/include/postgresql -DHAVE_JPEG -DBOOST_REGEX_HAS_ICU -ansi -Wall -pthread -ftemplate-depth-300 -DLINUX -DBOOST_SPIRIT_THREADSAFE -DMAPNIK_THREADSAFE -O3 -finline-functions -Wno-inline -DNDEBUG -DLIBTOOL_SUPPORTS_ADVISE -DHAVE_LIBXML2
MAPNIK_CONFIG = /usr/local/bin/mapnik-config
MAPNIK_INCLUDES =  Usage: mapnik-config [OPTION]

Known values for OPTION are:

  --prefix          display mapnik prefix [default /usr/local]
  --prefix=DIR      change mapnik prefix [default /usr/local]
  --libs            print library linking information
  --dep-libs        print library linking information for mapnik depedencies
  --ldflags         print library paths (-L) information
  --cflags          print pre-processor and compiler flags
  --fonts           print default fonts directory
  --input-plugins   print default input plugins directory
  --json            print all config options as json object
  --help            display this help and exit
  -v --version      output version information
  --git-revision    output git hash
MAPNIK_LDFLAGS = -L/usr/local/lib -lmapnik
MAPNIK_VERSION = 2.0.3-pre

Reported via IRC for someone following switch2osm with Ubuntu 12.04.

Still not fixed , I am stuck here : after ./configure
Make
Makefile:337: *** missing separator. Stop.

[pnorman]

Well, no, there's been no changes to fix it made yet.

@springmeyer, you've commented on other mapnik-config changes, any thoughts here?

[springmeyer]

Drop support for mapnik 2.0 by checking mapnik-config --version-number > 200000. 2.0.0 is > 3 years old at this point. Alternatively just call mapnik-config --cflags which has been around since the beginning and is a complete dump of required flags.

I'm really new to building the Tile server and just wanted to know if there is a workaround for this error.

[linux-devil]

Yes there is , use apt-get installation to follow mapnik and prior distributions if you are following distributions .

[choXberg]

same problem here:
(spaces instead of tabs in makefile?)

**Makefile:445: * missing separator. Stop.

line 445 is:
--prefix display mapnik prefix [default /usr/local]

more lines out of the generated makefile (option values all have leading spaces - trimmed off by markdown):

MAPNIK_INCLUDES = Usage: mapnik-config [OPTION]

Known values for OPTION are:

--prefix display mapnik prefix [default /usr/local]
--prefix=DIR change mapnik prefix [default /usr/local]
--libs print library linking information
--dep-libs print library linking information for mapnik depedencies
--ldflags print library paths (-L) information
--cflags print pre-processor and compiler flags
--fonts print default fonts directory
--input-plugins print default input plugins directory
--json print all config options as json object
--help display this help and exit
-v --version output version information
--git-revision output git hash
MAPNIK_LDFLAGS = -L/usr/local/lib64 -lmapnik

[builtofire]

manual workaround is to replace the lines with the result for includes from executing "mapnik-config --json"

you will have to make this twice

this issue is solved in https://github.com/springmeyer/mod_tile/compare/openstreetmap:master...master.

I was helped by the following decision:

MAPNIK_INCLUDES = Usage: mapnik-config [OPTION]

Known values for OPTION are:

--prefix display mapnik prefix [default /usr/local]

--prefix=DIR change mapnik prefix [default /usr/local]

--libs print library linking information

--dep-libs print library linking information for mapnik depedencies

--ldflags print library paths (-L) information

--cflags print pre-processor and compiler flags

--fonts print default fonts directory

--input-plugins print default input plugins directory

--json print all config options as json object

--help display this help and exit

-v --version output version information

--git-revision output git hash

It is finite not the decision, but how differently? I didn't find the any decision
PS This decision can it is required and for iniparser3.0b/Makefile too

[markmcdonald51]

So is this fixed in some other branch? I am trying to compile this in as well and of course having the same problem. eg:

mark@Ubuntu-1404-trusty-64-minimal:~/src/mod_tile$ make
Makefile:445: *** missing separator. Stop.

the output from the command mentioned above produces the lines below... but where do I put this? in the Makefile??.. Any help is totally appreciated. Thanks!

:~/src/mod_tile$ mapnik-config --json

Hallo, bumped into this issue right now. Dane had suggested that changes were in another branch. Seems like they haven't been merged?

[johnsonc]

Dane Springmeyer's changes work btw. Just tested.

[progserega]

I have this issue, and try fix it in patch:
#100

[pantierra]

Recent versions of mod_tile target mapnik 3.0 or later. Closing here.
