[mkgmap-dev] error splitting binary files

Sat Nov 20 21:28:02 GMT 2010

Hi,

I have tried to use the splitter v161 on geofabriks europe.osm.pbf binary file with a custom areas.list file (link see below) but I get this error message (see attachment). Is it a bug? Only If I use it without a areas.list file it works ok.

areas list file:
http://mijndev.openstreetmap.nl/~ligfietser/openfietsmap/Scripts/areas_europe.list

Thanks,
Minko

PS I asked Steve, and he replied:
>From the screen shot it looks like it is attempting to parse the file as XML and not as pbf, so as long as you are using the version that deals with pbf then it looks like a bug.
