Hi, I am trying to switch over to mkgmap r2008 with splitter r179. If I use the jars from the download page it all works fine. But if I recompile mkgmap.jar (using Idea 10.5.1) from the r2008 sources I just get a bunch of errors in mkgmap.log, one for each input file: Error at line 1, col 1 Bad file format: 63240001.osm.pbf Error parsing file I notice my jar file is much smaller than the precompiled one (1173kb instead of 1684kb). My (experimental) changes are trivial by the way; the patch is listed below. I don't see how this change can cause this error. I know this problem has been reported before, and I have made sure I am using the right jar files by simply replacing mkgmap.jar with my version. Does anybody have any idea what might be going wrong?
