FreeBSDInstallation

Installing on FreeBSD

In most cases the FreeBSD port of Mapnik (located in /usr/ports/graphics/mapnik) will work. However, if the port is broken, or you'd like to install another version the following instructions will help.

You will need to install the following ports/packages to ensure that mapnik will compile for you:

graphics/png
graphics/tiff
graphics/jpeg
graphics/proj
devel/icu
print/freetype2
graphics/cairo
graphics/cairomm
devel/pkg-config
graphics/py-cairo
devel/boost-python-libs
devel/libtool22
devel/libltdl22

If you want postgres support, ensure that the postgres libs are installed:

database/postgresqlXX-client (where XX is the version of Postgres libs you'd like to install)

Once these libs are installed, you should be able to compile/install source by doing:

python scons/scons.py configure
python scons/scons.py install
