I tried to compile a map source (.mms) from windows Command prompt using mcompile utility. The -P Platform option does not work for this command. It only produces .mmc which is for default WINDOWS platform.
From inside the Map Designer tool if I "Build for Specific Platform" and select "Linux", it correctly makes ".lnx" executable file.
Is this a bug with TX 8.0?

Have you checked to see if the file is actually Windows format? The extension is inconsequential. I used *.mmc extension for UNIX all the time. Map Designer just happens to name them with those extensions so the maps are distinguishable from each other.

The documentation says this for the -O option:

"The default naming convention for the compiled map file is executable_map_name.mmc. If a wildcard is specified in the full path as mcompile mymaps.mms MyExecMap -O C:\MyDev\Compiledmaps\*.win, the compiled maps will be produced in the C:\MyDev\Compiledmaps directory with the <executable_map_name>.win naming convention."

From that I suspect that the extension is not important. The default will just be *.mmc.

I haven't tested it but you can quickly try to run the *.mmc created on Windows. If the Command Server cannot open it, FTP the compiled map over to Linux and try to run it there.

Yes, using -P option, I compiled the maps for Solaris, used .mmc as extension. The command server on windows could not open the map.( which i guess was correct object for solaris).
But when I compiled the maps for Linux and Windows, both times the command server could open the maps and even 'run successfully'.
Iam clueless now.

At this point I would suggest contacting support. Send them the map you compiled for Windows and the one for Linux. Also send the command line you used for each. They may be able to tell you what is wrong.
