Trying to compile Mapnik on OSX 10.8
So after I clone the Github repo, I go to run the configure command like so:
./configure and then get the error:
Checking for C++ library icuuc... no
Could not find required header or shared library for icuuc
and later:
Exiting... the following required dependencies were not found:
- icuuc (ICU C++ library | configure with ICU_LIBS & ICU_INCLUDES or use ICU_LIB_NAME to specify custom lib name | more info: http://site.icu-project.org/)
Looking at the Mapnik troubleshooting area for a solution: https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/wiki/InstallationTroubleshooting
Says: Solution: If g++ is available then ICU must be in a custom location so set the paths to the libs and includes - ie. ICU_LIBS=/usr/local/lib and ICU_INCLUDES=/usr/local/include.
By running g++ from command line I get: i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-g++-4.2: no input files
So this means that g++ is available, but I have no idea how to go about setting the paths so that configure can find them.
ICU Libraries were installed by default or with homebrew, not sure which.
terminal: brew install icu4c
Warning: icu4c-51.1 already installed
Finding the icu4c install directory:
terminal: mdfind icu4c
/usr/local/Cellar/icu4c
As per our discussion and my last comment something like the following might work.
export ICU_LIBS=/usr/local/Cellar/icu4c/lib
export ICU_INCLUDES=/usr/local/Cellar/icu4c/include
./configure
