carto project.mml > osm.xml fails

[boris....@gmail.com]

Hello,

I've installed carto, mapnik-utils, python-mapnik2, libmapnik2, gdl-bin from package on Ubuntu 13.04. The libmapnik2 version is 2.0.0+ds1-3ubuntu1. Then, I've cloned

git://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto.git and executed get-shapefiles.sh. However, carto project.mml > osm.xml fails with

The "sys" module is now called "util". It should have a similar interface.
Error: roads.mss:121:4 Unrecognized rule: marker-ignore-placement

The requirements for openstreetmap-carto includes mapnik >= 2.1.0 -
your mapnik version is too old.

I removed mapnik and set up mapnik from PPA as explained in https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/wiki/UbuntuInstallation. However, this PPA doesn't countain carto. Which packages do I need for carto and where can I get these?

The carto from git doesn't compile:

$ make
./node_modules/.bin/jshint lib/carto/*.js lib/carto/tree/*.js
/bin/sh: 1: ./node_modules/.bin/jshint: not found
make: *** [lint] Error 127

If I have to compile all dependencies from source, then mapnik is not for me.

This should do it:

apt-get install nodejs npm
npm install --global carto millstone

It doesn't work:

This installed stuff in /usr/local. Can npm clean this up by itself?

I much prefer to use the packages made for Ubuntu 13.04. Everything else usually doesn't work on Linux. That means I need the stylefiles for mapnik 2.0.0. Where can I get these?

I think that last time I used carto I had these sort of troubles and I cheated and installed tilemill (http://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/) which came with all the dependencies, and I used carto from that.

But that was a couple of years ago, so I would have expected it to be easier now!

I'll give TileMill a try, it can generate MBTiles.

TileMill doesn't work either. I did everything as explained in the guide but all I see is a blank map. Also, it didn't install carto. I'd better go back to MOBAC.

First time loading it can take 5-10 minutes to pull down sample data.

It did. It installed in /usr/share/tilemill/node_modules/carto/bin/carto

I'd better go back to MOBAC.

The below error indicates your node.js version is too old. I agree with you that in general official debian hosted apt packages for things is better than self installing. But the opposite is true for node.js and related tools currently because the 'official' Debian hosted packages cannot keep up or are simply unmaintained. 

So I strongly recommend you do not try to use official debian hosted packages for anything related to node.js software for now on Debian systems. This situation may change soon as node stabilizes but at this point the project is still too fast moving. 

So I recommend using the TileMill package from the development seed PPA like you have done. I maintain this, update it fairly frequently and can help troubleshoot when it breaks (due to older packages being installed that conflict).

Personally I don't ever use the --global flag when installing node modules and instead let them be placed locally in my working directory.

You should run 'npm install' not make in this case since 'make' here is a shortcut for developer use only.

Thanks for this hint. Indeed, after a while the map appeared. As Tilemill doesn't indicate any activity during downloading, I assumed it didn't work. So far, I'm quite impressed by Tilemill and I prefer it to Mapnik.

However, using user postgres as explained on http://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/osm-bright-ubuntu-quickstart/ didn't work, so I've created a dedicated database user on Ubuntu 13.04.

I always think of TileMill as being a front end for mapnik rather than something different.
