Talk:Tirex/Building and Installing

Additional Steps needed to Build ?

Is the manual supposed to be complete? (On Ubuntu 12.04, using the ppa:mapnik/v2.1.0 PPA)

I needed the following steps in addition to build debian packages:

aptitude install build-essential devscripts debhelper libboost-program-options-dev libipc-sharelite-perl libjson-perl libgd-gd2-perl libwww-perl  libmapnik-dev
aptitude build-dep libmapnik 
cd /usr/local/src
apt-get source libmapnik
cd /usr/local/include
ln -s /usr/local/src/mapnik-2.1.0/include/mapnik/
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libmapnik.so.2.1 libmapnik.so
ldconf

and then "make deb" in the tirex folder

Just to make sure I am not doing it completely wrong - if I am right I would be happy to include it into the article.

Ubuntu 14.04 Update

This was on a machine setup via Switch2OSM - Build from packages (i.e. with ppa:kakrueger/openstreetmap )

I believe all I needed beyond listed prerequisites is:

   apt-get install g++ mapnik-dev

Then

   svn co http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/tirex
   cd tirex
   make deb
   sudo dpkg --install ../tirex-core <tabcomplete>
   sudo dpkg --install ../tirex-backend-mapnik <tabcomplete>
   sudo dpkg --install ../tirex-example-map <tabcomplete>
