Does someone have compiled tilemaker under Windows ?

[stoffy28]

What is exactly the procedure to build tilemaker under Windows 10 or 11, either with msvc or gcc ?

For the moment, we have a lot of problems to compile because of Boost. We had to use an old version of Boost to compile with success.

I suspect that by far the easiest route on Windows will be to install WSL2 and build and install Tilemaker there.

Would that approach work for you?

[stoffy28]

Yes this approach works indeed.

But if you got to https://tilemaker.org/, in "Get started" section at the bottom of the page, it says :

It builds on Ubuntu, macOS and Windows.

@stoffy28 you mean this?
https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker/releases/tag/v3.0.0

There's precompiled windows binary there, zipped neatly.

We are under Windows 10 or Windows 11, same thing :
We tried this precompiled version, but it does not work. For example, with monaco.pbf, tilemaker returns after boundingbox, no mbtiles file generated, and the the output is :

C:\Users\myname\Documents\tilemaker_windows\build\RelWithDebInfo>tilemaker --input monaco.pbf --output monaco666.mbtiles --config config-debug.json --process process-debug.lua

That's the reason why we tried to compile it with MSVC or with GCC.
