Could not open style file

I used mkgmap on a Windows machine to create Garmin maps from OSM data. In the future I want to run it on Ubuntu Linux. Unfortunately there is a problem including style files. I'm using mkgmap r2349. On Windows the parameters "--style-file=C:\Landkarten\mkgmap\ --style=thomas-style" worked well. On Linux the parameters look like "--style-file=/mkgmap/ --style-file=thomas-style" and it doesn't work. Error messages as "could not open style file thomas-style" and the following messages appear. at uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.osmstyle.StyleImpl.<init>(StyleImpl.java:140) at uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.osmstyle.StyleImpl.readBaseStyle(StyleImpl.java:518) I also tried to put the style files (lines, points ...) in a zip-file but that doesn't solve the problem. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Hi Thomas, please check: with --style-file=/mkgmap/ you specify a directory that is directly in the root. Maybe it should be /home/.../mkgmap or ./mkgmap ? Gerd

Hi Gerd, I also tried this, but the problem remains the same. ("could not open style file"). Thomas Am 30.10.2012 17:01, schrieb Gerd Petermann:

Hi Thomas, I did not suggest to try these parms. I meant that you may not have the style in directory /mkgmap Gerd -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Could-not-open-style-file-tp5733436p5733457.h... Sent from the Mkgmap Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi, your style file is: thomas-style use the complete path to the file like: --style-file=/home/.../thomas-style Regards Am 30.10.2012 17:26, schrieb Thomas Kaschel:

Thank you for your suggestions. It doesn't work when the --style-file parameter is given in the command line in any way. A few minutes ago I read on a website that all the parameters could also be put in a kind of configuration file which then could be given to mkgmap by the "-c" parameter. Surprise - this works! Don't ask me why, I happy with that. Thank you again for all your help. Thomas Am 30.10.2012 18:52, schrieb Josef Latt:
