[FGS] Error when compiling Shapelib contrib folder

[Reyes, Jr., Buenaventura L.]

Norm,

It seems I am getting more problems besides my problem 'proj'. I am following instructions from http://maptools.org/fgs/index.phtml?page=fgs-sandbox.html to get the FGS-DEV modules.

After issuing the command: 
    $ cvs -d :pserver:cvsanon at cvs.maptools.org:/cvs/maptools/cvsroot login
    Logging in to :pser...
    CVS password: <Enter>
    Unknown host cvs.maptools.org   <- Error

I have executed:
    $ export CVSROOT=:pserver:cvsanon at cvs.maptools.org:/cvs/maptools/cvsroot

But I still get the error. Sorry if I'm having more problems but please help me. I will try what you said for 'proj' once I obtain download FGS-DEV. I obtained FGS-DEV before with no problems so now I want to have a fresh download.

Thanks,

Reyes,


Since you're in the fgs-dev environment, you have to build the 'proj' 
package with fgs-dev.  To accomplish this you have to follow these steps:

-add 'proj' in $FGS_DEV_HOME/build.list ($FGS_DEV_HOME stands for the 
fgs-dev root directory)
-set your fgsdev environment:  do '. setenv.sh' in $FGS_DEV_HOME/build.list
-execute:  fgs-dev build_pkg proj

Regards,

Norm
