[mkgmap-dev] problems with gmapi-builder

Thu Jun 2 17:04:13 BST 2011

Hi maning,

I'm pretty sure that there is an error in your command line. I was able to compile the map properly with the following:

python gmapi-builder.py -v -t for_mapsource/40000001.tdb -b for_mapsource/40000001.img -s for_mapsource/MINIMAL.TYP -i for_mapsource/40000001.mdx -m for_mapsource/40000001_mdr.img for_mapsource/*.img

-> Note that I changed the last line of your command from "for_mapsource/40000001.img for_mapsource/*.img" to just "for_mapsource/*.img".

The extra "for_mapsource/40000001.img" was causing the program to attempt to add that file twice, which caused the failure.

Cheers.

P.S.: Your map looks really nice, by the way. :-)
