Btw: Isn't it worth mentioning somewhere (or maybe IS it mentioned somewhere?) that mkgmap needs Java 1.6 and will therefore not compile on MacOS X 10.4 (Tiger)? I'm not sure but I think even 10.5 (Leopard) hasn't got a 1.6 JDK. You have to either find a working Developers Preview Version (I found none for 10.4) or get SoyLatte, which is a proof-of-concept kind of 1.6 port to Mac and needs some fiddeling around to install, integrate in eclipse and use in the terminal.
That's strange. I use mgkmap all the time on my Mac, and have never had a problem. Until recently, I used 10.4 (with soylatte for splitter.jar). 10.5 (after several service packages) does come with Java 1.6, but it is not the default. I often switch between Java 1.5 and 1.6 while compiling maps, and have not noted a difference. - Up to now, however, I have never tried the --list-styles mkgmap option. Could it be that there is something here requiring 1.6? Or something else? I will try this later on on my Mac. Cheers.
