<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The [http://www.maptools.org/fgs/index.phtml?page=home.html MapTools FGS Pages] contain a variety of information for FGS users, and those wanting to develop packages for it. This page is mostly suplementary information as I learn my way around developing for FGS. <br />

<br />
Q: Some of the source distributions are no longer available at their original urls so my builds fail. <br />
<br />
A: Download packages from http://dl.maptools.org/dl/fgs/fgs-dev/fgs-cache/ to your fgs-dev/cache directory. In some cases, downloads will *appear* to succeed, like libpng, but in fact all you get is an html file indicating the path is wrong. Caveat emptor. <br />
<br />
Q: When I use "fgsdev custom_build_list create _module_name_1_ _module_name_2_" what do I use for module names? <br />
<br />
A: Look in fgs-dev/pkg_def/build.list, and use names from that file, with "-base" appended. So the file has "tiff:3.7.2" but you would use "tiff-base" as the package name. I'm not sure why the -base.</div>Warmerdam
