Hello,
To get mkgmap to build and run with pbf support, I did the following: 1. modified resources/MANIFEST.MF and changed osmprotobuf.jar to osmpbf.jar (I'm guessing it changed names at some point in the past) 2. modified external.properties to change the protobuf.jar and osmprotobuf.jar variables to point to where I had protobuf.jar and osmpbf.jar installed 3. after mkgmap was done building, I copied protobuf.jar and osmpbf.jar to the directory containing the built mkgmap.jar
I used the protobuf.jar and osmpbf.jar from the splitter svn repository.
I stumbled about this problem again and again. The build.xml for splitter creates the /dist/lib directory and copies required jar files to it. I thought this should be done in mkgmap as well, but since nobody else complained I thought I missed something. I am busy with the LocationHook, so maybe someone else has time to improve that? Ciao, Gerd
