I wrote this while waiting for the compiler throughout the course of one summer day, not aware that Craig had already written one.
To use it, first clone maki and this script in the same folder:
C:\whatevs\> git clone https://github.com/jasonbot/maki-to-style.git
C:\whatevs\> git clone https://github.com/mapbox/maki.git
Then you'll need to build the Python extension module included with the version of Python that ArcGIS comes with. You'll need Visual Studio 2008 installed for this part, or alternately maybe I'll include Windows installers when I tag a release. But do this until then:
C:\whatevs\> cd maki-to-style\marker-conversion-utils
C:\wha...ls> C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.1\python setup.py install
Then install ImageMagick and Inkscape for Windows from their respective sites.
Now run the script:
C:\whatevs\> cd maki-to-style
C:\whatevs\maki-to-style\> C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.1\python makiconvert.py
You'll have style files in maki-to-style\out_files\styles which you can copy into the maki repository in the ArcGIS\ subdirectory and check in.
I'll probably contribute to Craig's C# implementation instead of this in the future, but this was fun to do.
