Building MapGuide on Fedora Core 4

These instructions are for building and installing the latest MapGuide Open Source on Fedora Core 4. All of the following are done with root privileges.

=Prerequisite software= Install the Java Development Kit: The JDK is available from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp (the plain package is fine, no need for NetBeans or Java EE).

Install GCC 4.0.2 available from http://gcc.gnu.org/. The version is important here as later versions do not work.

Install subversion available from http://subversion.tigris.org/. For this, make sure to run "./configure --with-ssl" because the osgeo subversion vaults use https. (I use version 1.3.2 because I don't need to install the Apache Runtime in order to get things to compile.)

=Install MapGuide Linux, Apache, Tomcat package= Download mapguideaptinstaller-1.0.2.tar.gz from https://mapguide.osgeo.org/downloads.html.

In a shell window execute the following commands in the directory where you downloaded the apt installer file:

tar zxf mapguideaptinstaller-1.0.2.tar.gz

cd LinuxApt

tar zxf apache-tomcat-5.5.12.tar.gz

tar zxf httpd-2.0.55.tar.gz

tar zxf jakarta-tomcat-connectors-1.2.15-src.tar.gz

tar zxf mod_fastcgi.tar.gz

tar zxf php-5.0.5.tar.gz

./build_apt.sh

=Install FDO 3.2= Details about the following can be found in the subversion links on the http://fdocore.osgeo.org, http://fdosdf.osgeo.org and http://fdoshp.osgeo.org web pages. And in the OpenSourceBuild__README.txt file that is checked out when subversion is used to get the fdocore trunk.

In a shell window execute the following commands:

svn checkout https://fdocore.osgeo.org/svn/fdocore/trunk fdocore --username guest

(Press Enter without password when asked for password)

cd fdocore

mkdir Providers

cd Providers

svn checkout https://fdosdf.osgeo.org/svn/fdosdf/trunk/Providers/SDF SDF --username guest

svn checkout https://fdoshp.osgeo.org/svn/fdoshp/trunk/Providers/SHP SHP --username guest

''Similarly for any other providers that you are interested in. Make sure to read the relevant section in teh OpenSourceBuild__README.txt file for other providers.''

''--Amorsell 05:38, 10 November 2006 (CET) if you check out one provider, SVN thinks the Providers directory is already owned. I ended up manually moving the directory under Providers to /Fdo/Providers, then deleting the SVN Providers directory, then checking out the next provider through SVN, and so on.''

''--Tomfukushima 05:44, 10 November 2006 (CET) Thanks Andy. I've updated the above steps so that the checkouts should work as is now''

cd ..

export FDO= /Fdo

export FDOUTILITIES= /Utilities

export FDOTHIRDPARTY= /Thirdparty

./build_thirdparty.sh

./build_linux.sh

=Install MapGuide= Details about the following can be found in https://mapguide.osgeo.org/docs/BuildConfigureMgOpenSourceOnLinux.pdf (the version numbers are wrong, but the process is still the same).

In a shell window execute the following commands:

svn checkout https://mapguide.osgeo.org/svn/mapguide/trunk/MgDev mapguide --username guest

(Press Enter without password when asked for password)

cd mapguide

./build_oem.sh

''There is a error that will occur the first time this is run. You will need to fix the Svc_Conf_l.cpp file using the following commands:''

pushd Oem/ACE/ACE_wrappers/ace

rm Svc_Conf_l.cpp

svn update

popd

./build_oem.sh

''Also if you get an error building CppUnit. Try the following:''

pushd Oem/CppUnit-1.9.14

rm aclocal.m4

popd

./build_oem.sh

aclocal

libtoolize --force

automake --add-missing --copy

autoconf

./configure --enable-optimized

make

make install

=Run the MapGuide web tier and server=

Execute the following commands in a shell window:

cd /usr/local/mapguideopensource/webtierextensions/apache2/bin

./httpd

cd /usr/local/mapguideopensource/server/bin

./mgserver.sh

If you open up a browser, you should be able to open http://localhost:8008/mapguide/mapagent/index.html and see the server test web pages.
