Mapnik build success....?

[JamesRamm]

I managed to get mapnik to build, but I'm unsure of where the final build is and whether everything I need is there?! Specifically I'm looking for the python bindings and what I now need to put on my PYTHONPATH?

I ran with the defaults (simply following the build_xxx.bat scripts given in https://github.com/BergWerkGIS/mapnik-dependencies)

I end up with a couple of likley folders: mapnik-sdk and build, none of which match the structure im used to from downloading the mapnik...
mapnik-sdk is missing the python folder - is this not build by default? I have python installed and have boost-python.

In build I have a Release folder. There is a bindings/python folder full of object files. There is a lib/python2.7/mapnik folder, but this only has __init__ and printing.py

Am I missing something?

If I am to rebuild, do I need to delete all and start over?

After reviewing all the .bat files, it looks like I have built successfully and python is working - within the environment setup by the .bat file.

package.bat does not seem to do anything more than zip up the mapnik-sdk folder, whereas the python bindings are elsewhere.

What steps do I need to take to package up the python bindings for general use?
