GFOSS.it Live DVD Install

Steps for configuring and installing. Based on SIDUX Linux platform. (this note works on Debian too, and everytime you do an upgrade see what you are updating ... because it can break the source installation ;-) )

Update Distribution

If this is a new SIDUX install, you likely need to upgrade a bunch of stuff.

• exit desktop GUI, shutdown gdm using command:
  • init 3
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
• restart desktop whenever you want:
  • init 5 && exit

The ffmpeg install include files in a non standard place so a symbolic link for each include file is needed :

mkdir /usr/include/ffmpeg
ln -s /usr/include/libavcodec/avcodec.h /usr/include/libavcodec/opt.h /usr/include/libavcodec/vdpau.h /usr/include/libavcodec/xvmc.h /usr/include/libavdevice/avdevice.h /usr/include/libavfilter/avfilter.h /usr/include/libavformat/avformat.h /usr/include/libavformat/avio.h /usr/include/libavutil/adler32.h /usr/include/libavutil/avstring.h /usr/include/libavutil/avutil.h /usr/include/libavutil/base64.h /usr/include/libavutil/common.h /usr/include/libavutil/crc.h /usr/include/libavutil/fifo.h /usr/include/libavutil/intfloat_readwrite.h /usr/include/libavutil/log.h /usr/include/libavutil/lzo.h /usr/include/libavutil/mathematics.h /usr/include/libavutil/md5.h /usr/include/libavutil/mem.h /usr/include/libavutil/pixfmt.h /usr/include/libavutil/random.h /usr/include/libavutil/rational.h /usr/include/libavutil/sha1.h /usr/include/libswscale/swscale.h /usr/include/ffmpeg/

to have linked the libraries in /usr/local/lib and the files we'll install from source, we need to add configuration files in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ , so in a terminal :

su
touch /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf
echo "/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf
echo "/usr/local/lib64" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf
touch /etc/ld.so.conf.d/grass.conf
echo "/usr/local/grass-7.0.svn/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/grass.conf
ldconfig
exit

Checkout GFOSS Apps

Downloading the code from SVN repositories for GRASS, GDAL/OGR, QGIS, OpenSceneGraph (to support OssimPlanet), OSSIM

GDAL/OGR

cd /usr/local/src
svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/trunk/gdal gdal 
cd gdal

GRASS GIS

You can chose to build *one of* the 6.5-devel versions or the latest dev-release 7.0. (adapt the file: "etc/ld.so.conf.d/grass.conf" to match your grass version - [7.0] : /usr/local/grass-7.0.svn/lib - [6.5]: /usr/local/grass-6.5.svn/lib )

- version : 6.5

GDAL-GRASS Plug-In

cd /usr/local/src/gdal/frmts/grass
make dist
# this will generate a tar.gz file contains the gdal-grass plug-in, untar it somewhere
# cd in and configure it using :
./configure --with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config --with-grass=/usr/local/grass-7.0.svn/ # (check the version match)
make
su

QGIS

cd /usr/local/src
svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/qgis/trunk/qgis qgis
cd qgis
mkdir build
cd build
ccmake ..
# this command will open a text gui
# its usage is simple : 
# - up/down arrow key to navigate the configurable options
# - enter key  to modify an option
# - c key to configure
# - g key to generate makefile
#
# changes the following var : 
# 
###
#
# BINDINGS_GLOBAL_INSTALL          ON
#
# CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE                 Debug
#
# GRASS_PREFIX                     /usr/local/grass-7.0.svn

make install
exit

1. note : recently qgis has changed build system for grass-plug-in
2. it search the Q-Grass modules in a directory named :
3. mudules-6.4 / -6.3 , just copy : /usr/local/src/qgis/src/plugins/grass/modules-6.4 to
4. /usr/local/src/qgis/src/plugins/grass/modules-6.5
5. or modules-7.0 (based on the installed grass-version)
6. ... and test it, feedback to the qgis/grass lists is welcome

OpenSceneGraph

cd /usr/local/src
svn co http://www.openscenegraph.org/svn/osg/OpenSceneGraph/tags/OpenSceneGraph-2.8.2 OpenSceneGraph
cd OpenSceneGraph
mkdir build
cd build
ccmake ..
# press "c"

GPS Toolkit "GPSTK"

cd /usr/local/src
svn checkout https://gpstk.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gpstk 
cd gpstk/dev/
jam
doxygen
su
jam install
exit

OSSIM

First set some environmental variables needed for the build :

cd
echo "export OSSIM_DEV_HOME=/usr/local/src/ossim" >> .bashrc
echo "export OSSIM_HOME=/usr/local/src/ossim/ossim" >> .bashrc
echo "export OSSIM_QT_HOME=/usr/local/src/ossim/ossim_qt" >> .bashrc
echo "export OSSIM_LIB_DIR=/usr/local/src/ossim/ossim/lib/ossim" >> .bashrc
echo "export OSSIM_INC_DIR=/usr/local/src/ossim/ossim/include" >> .bashrc

Download the source code :

cd /usr/local/src/
mkdir ossim
cd ossim
svn co http://svn.osgeo.org/ossim/trunk .

Install Ossim Core libraries :

cd ossim
./configure
make
su
make install
exit

Install libwms :

cd ../libwms
make
su
make install
exit

Install OssimPredator :

cd ../ossimPredator
mkdir lib
cd src
# add :  OSSIM_HOME=/usr/local/src/ossim/ossim  in the GNUmakefile then :
OSSIM_HOME=/usr/local/src/ossim/ossim/
export OSSIM_HOME
OSSIM_DEV_HOME=/usr/local/src/ossim/
export OSSIM_DEV_HOME
make
su
make install
exit

Install Ossim_Qt4 :

cd /usr/local/src/ossim/ossim_qt4
qmake ossim_qt4.pro
make
su
make install
exit

Install OssimPlanet :

cd /usr/local/src/ossim/ossimPlanet
make
su
make install
exit

Install OssimPlanetQt :

cd ../ossimPlanetQt
qmake ossimPlanetQt.pro
make
su
make install
exit

Install ossim_plugins :

cd /usr/local/src/ossim_plugins
nano make_opt.in

# uncommend the GDAL_HOME varible to : 
#
GDAL_HOME=/usr/local
#
# ctr+x to save and exit from nano editor
make make_options
make
cd ossim
make
cd ../png
make
cd ../contrib
make
cd ../registration
make
cd ../ossim
make

Now ready to setup an ossim preference directory where we can store some local data :

cd
mkdir .ossim
cp -r $OSSIM_DEV_HOME/ossim_package_support/fonts .ossim/fonts
cp -r $OSSIM_DEV_HOME/ossim_package_support/geoids .ossim/geoids
cp -r $OSSIM_DEV_HOME/ossim_package_support/images .ossim/images
cp -r $OSSIM_DEV_HOME/ossim_plugins/lib .ossim/plugins

Create a file called "ossim_preference" : Ossim_Preference is a file like :

plugin.file1: /usr/local/src/ossim/ossim_plugins/lib/libossimreg_plugin.so 
plugin.file2: /usr/local/src/ossim/ossim_plugins/lib/libossimgdal_plugin.so
plugin.file3: /usr/local/src/ossim/ossim_plugins/lib/libossimcontrib_plugin.so
plugin.file4: /usr/local/src/ossim/ossim_plugins/lib/libossim_plugin.so
plugin.file5: /usr/local/src/ossim/ossim_plugins/lib/libossimpng_plugin.so

export it :

OSSIM_PREFS_FILE=/path/to/ossim_preference
export OSSIM_PREFS_FILE
