Building MapGuide on Debian Sarge

Installing Mapguide Open Source on Debian Sarge

To date, THIS HAS NEVER BEEN WORKING. Please use another dist.

This work is based on the other compilation guides.

Basic Setup

Install a basic Debian Sarge (the rest of this guide assumes no GUI and that you are not running as the root user)

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to include sarge backports. (add this line :)

deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports non-free

then :

apt-get update (as root)

Install the following packages:

 apt-get install subversion gcc-3.4 g++-3.4 flex bison automake1.9 libjpeg62 libjpeg62-dev libtool zlib1g zlib1g-dev libxml2-dev make libcurl3 libcurl3-dev libxslt1.1 libxslt1-dev expat sun-java5-jdk libexpat1 libexpat1-dev doxygen

FDO

cd ~
wget http://svn.osgeo.org/fdocore/branches/3.2.x/checkoutsvn.sh

Edit checkoutsvn.sh with the following:

FDO_SVN_USERNAME=guest
FDO_SVN_PASSWORD=guest
FDO_SVN_SOURCEDIR=branches/3.2.x

Then,

mkdir fdosvn
cd fdosvn
bash ../checkoutsvn.sh 

Permanently accept the certificates and then cancel the script (ctrl+c for each checkout)

vim ../.subversion/config

Edit config file with the following (either by commenting out or adding):

in the [miscellany] section:

use-commit-times=yes
enable-auto-props=yes

in the [auto-props] section:

*.* = svn:eol-style=native
*.sh = svn:executable

Then, always in the fdosvn dir :

rm -rf * 
rm -rf .svn
bash ../checkoutsvn.sh

cd /usr/local
sudo mkdir fdo-3.2.0
sudo mkdir fdo-3.2.2
sudo chown (your user) fdo-3.2.*

Then,

cd ~/fdosvn
source ./setenvironment.sh
nohup ./build_thirdparty.sh >& buildthirdparty.log (if you want to log the build)
nohup ./build_linux.sh >& buildlinux.log

Apache/Php

cd
svn co http://svn.osgeo.org/mapguide/branches/1.2.x/MgDev
sudo mkdir /usr/local/mapguideopensource
sudo chown (your user) /usr/local/mapguideopensource

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.10/ (or similar)

cd ~/MgDev/Oem/LinuxApt

Extract all the tar.gz files:

find . -name "*.gz" -exec tar xvzf {} \;

Then,

./build_apt.sh >& ~/build_apt.log

Build_oem

./build_oem.sh

It should fail here at building fcgi-2.4.0, and the following method did not help really:

Then, as root, install using apt:

apt-get install automake1.7 (but don't change symlinks or anything)
update-alternatives --config automake (choose version 1.7)

Then,

cd ~/MgDev/Oem/fcgi/fcgi-2.4.0
rm -rf aclocal.m4
aclocal
make

Once this is done, restore automake 1.9

update-alternatives --config automake (choose version 1.9)

Then,

cd ~/MgDev/Oem
pushd ../BuildTools/WebTools/IMake
mkdir -p Linux/obj/debug
make

Build Mapguide

sudo chown (your user) /usr/lib/python2.3
aclocal
libtoolize --force
automake --add-missing --copy
autoconf
./configure --enable-optimized
make
make install

Problems?
