windows-builds

Things are moving fast and sometimes break. If something doesn't work for you, please open an issue.

Windows build scripts mainly targeting:

mapnik and its dependencies
C++11 build of node
node-mapnik

Other supported software:

node-gdal
osmium: libosmium, node-osmium, osmium-tool
osrm

Requirements

64bit operating system (W7, 8, 8.1, Server 2012)
Visual Studio 2015, No earlier versions suppported, C++11 support needed!
Python 2.7 32 bit installed into C:\Python27
git installed into C:\Program Files (x86)\Git

Recommendations:

If you are using AWS, then this ami-6f2cf804 in us-east-1 is a good starting point
Then install Visual Studio Express 2015 for Windows Desktop from https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs.aspx (direct download)

System Setup

Install:

Python 2.7 32 bit
Git
Visual Studio VS2015

When using your builds on machines that don't have Visual Studio installed you have to install the C++ runtime corresponding to the VS version that was used for building:

VS2015 runtime:
- x64
- x86

Build Setup

There is no need to manually download any dependencies, they all get downloaded automatically when needed.

git clone https://github.com/mapbox/windows-builds.git
cd windows-builds
settings.bat

This defines default options to get a quick 64bit build of mapnik: e.g dependencies are not compiled, but already compiled binary dependencies get downloaded.

Options for settings.bat (see source for overridable parameters):

settings.bat ["OVERRIDABLE-PARAM=VALUE"] ["OVERRIDABLE-PARAM-TWO=VALUE"]

You can combine as many overridable parameters as you like, but each one has to be quoted with double quotes!

Examples:

Turning on compilation of dependencies: settings "FASTBUILD=0"
Building 32bit and using mapnik branch win-perf: settings "TARGET_ARCH=32" "MAPNIKBRANCH=win-perf"

Building mapnik and node-mapnik

scripts\build.bat

With "FASTBUILD=1" (the default):

downloads pre-compiled dependencies
pulls latest mapnik (honoring MAPNIKBRANCH)
builds mapnik only
to also build node-mapnik, issue scripts\build_node_mapnik.bat afterwards

With "FASTBUILD=0":

downloads/pulls source and builds each dependencies
pulls latest mapnik (honoring MAPNIKBRANCH)
builds mapnik
pulls and builds nodejs
pulls latest node-mapnik (honoring NODEMAPNIKBRANCH)
builds node-mapnik

With "PACKAGEMAPNIK=1" (the default) a mapnik SDK package is created, including all necessary header files, libs and DLLs.

The package will be created in the directory packages\mapnik-<MAPNIKBRANCH>\mapnik-gyp with this name:

mapnik-win-sdk-<MSBUILD VERSION>-<ARCHITECTURE>-<MAPNIK GIT TAG>.7z

e.g.

mapnik-win-sdk-14.0-x64-v3.0.0-rc1-242-g2a33ead.7z

Building osmium

scripts\build_libosmium_deps
scripts\package_libosmium_deps
scripts\build_libosmium vs
scripts\build_osmium-tool

Building node-gdal

scripts\build_node_gdal.bat

Building nodejs

scripts\build_node

Building osrm - WORK IN PROGRESS

scripts\build_osrm builddeps

Will create:

bin\osrm-deps-win-x64-14.0.7z
bin\osrm-release-<GIT-TAG>-x64-win-14.0.7z
