[MS4W-Users] Σχετ: svg symbols

[jim lepipas]

Dear Jeff,
I have read the ticket. I see that there is a problem with svg symbols. But the problem I am facing is
that I do not know how to build these libraries (libsvg, libsvg-cairo) in ms4w. In the ticket I do not find any related instructions   "building libsvg and libsvg-cairo in the MS4W 3.1.0 build environment compiles MapServer successfully".
How may I build these libraries in ms4w in order to further test rendering and see if the mapserv.exe crashes?
My version is 3.1.2, my map file has this layer:
LAYER   CONNECTIONTYPE postgis   NAME "seamarks_points"   # Connect to a remote spatial database  CONNECTION "user=postgres dbname=openseamap host=localhost password=metricos1979 port=5432"  PROCESSING "CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER"  # Get the lines from the 'geom' column of the 'roads' table   DATA "way from planet_osm_point using srid=900913 using unique osm_id"   STATUS ON  TYPE POINT   TOLERANCE 6  TOLERANCEUNITS pixels  CLASS    Name 'seamarks_points'    #COLOR 0 130 250    #OUTLINECOLOR 0 130 250    SYMBOL 'light'     SIZE 50  END  # ClassEND
I have (in the .mpa file) this symbol definition 
SYMBOL NAME "light" TYPE svg IMAGE "P1.major.svg"END
and the P1.major.svg file is in the same folder with the .mpa file
I get the error:
Warning: classObj::createLegendIcon(): [MapServer Error]: preloadSymbol(): SVG symbol support is not enabled. in C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\sapi\gis\incphp\init\initmap.php on line 544

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'MapScriptException' in C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\sapi\gis\incphp\init\initmap.php:544 Stack trace: #0 C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\sapi\gis\incphp\init\initmap.php(544): classObj->createLegendIcon('18', '14') #1 C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\sapi\gis\incphp\init\initmap.php(403): Init_map->createLegendList() #2 C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\sapi\gis\incphp\init\initmap.php(69): Init_map->_initLegend() #3 C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\sapi\gis\incphp\init\init.php(34): Init_map->initAllParameters() #4 C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\sapi\gis\map_default.phtml(48): include_once('C:\\ms4w\\Apache\\...') #5 {main} thrown in C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\sapi\gis\incphp\init\initmap.php on line 544


That means that I have to enable SVG symbol support.
Please advice
best regards,Dimitris

 Hi Dimitrios,

First I am glad that your architecture is working great with MS4W 
(Windows, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, OSM, MapServer).  A lot of work goes into 
making that all happen.  Thanks for this positive feedback.

Regarding SVG symbols with MS4W, there is currently a build issue with 
that (see the ticket at http://ms4w.com/trac/ticket/3).  This will be a 
significant effort, to debug and build.  However if your organization 
can help fund these changes in MS4W for the entire community, that would 
be a big help, so please contact me directly if you can assist.

At the moment, this is planned for the MS4W 4.0 release, and you can 
follow along with that in the ticket and provide testing feedback there 
(you can also see release dates through that issue tracker as well). 
But to be honest, having funding to dive into this would help make this 
a priority sooner.

Thanks again for your positive feedback, I am glad that MS4W is working 
so well in your environment.

Talk soon,

-jeff
