Building Mapguide on Ubuntu 7.04 Server

Below are instructions that will aid a user with installing Mapguide Open Source v1.2 on Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) Server. The assistance of Jo Cook was greatly appreciated. I tried installing it on the desktop version of Ubuntu however I was unsuccessful.

Note : this guide is also relevant for an installation on Debian Etch.

BASIC SETUP

Install a basic Ubuntu Server 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) (the rest of this guide assumes that you are not running as the root user)

The default directory will be /home/administrator. If this is not the case, change your path to /home/administrator

Install the following in Terminal:

sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential gcc g++ bison flex automake1.9 libjpeg62-dev libtool zlib1g zlib1g-dev libxml2-dev make libxalan110 libxalan110-dev

FDO INSTALL

In terminal type the following:

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

Using 'nano', edit checkoutsvn.sh with the following:

nano checkoutsvn.sh

FDO_SVN_USERNAME=guest

FDO_SVN_PASSWORD=guest

FDO_SVN_SOURCEDIR=branches/3.2.x

Save your edits and exit checkoutsvn.sh

In terminal type the following:

mkdir fdosvn

cd fdosvn

bash /home/administrator/checkoutsvn.sh

Permanently accept the certificate and cancel checkouts with ctrl c

In terminal type the following:

cd /home/administrator/.subversion

nano config

Edit config with the following:

(in the Miscellany section)

Use-commit-times=yes

Enable-auto-props=yes

(in the Auto-Props section)

*.*=svn:eol-style=native

*.sh=svn:executable

Save and close the config file.

In Terminal (from /home/administrator):

Rm -rf fdosvn/*

rm –rf fdosvn/.svn

cd /home/administrator/fdosvn

bash /home/administrator/checkoutsvn.sh

cd /usr/local

sudo mkdir fdo-3.2.0

sudo mkdir fdo-3.2.2

sudo chown administrator fdo-3.2.0

sudo chown administrator fdo-3.2.2

cd /home/administrator/fdosvn

source ./setenvironment.sh

To avoid the bad fd number errors completely, type the following in the terminal:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash

and choose No at the prompt

In terminal, type the following:

nohup ./build_thirdparty.sh

nohup ./build_linux.sh

APACHE / PHP INSTALL

In Terminal type the following:

cd .. (you should now be in /home/administrator)

mkdir mgdev

cd mgdev

svn co http://svn.osgeo.org/mapguide/branches/1.2.x

In Terminal, install the following:

sudo apt-get install libcurl3 libcurl3-dev libxslt1.1 libxslt1-dev expat

In Terminal:

mkdir /usr/local/mapguideopensource

sudo chown administrator /usr/local/mapguideopensource (replace administrator with your user if necessary)

Edit the following file /etc/apt/sources.list to include the multiverse

nano sources.list

In Terminal, install the following:

sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk (accept the license)

In Terminal type the following:

(be sure to change the version of java to the one you download (i.e., 1.5.0.11, 1.5.0.12, etc.))

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.11

cd /home/administrator/MgDev/1.2.x/MgDev/Oem/LinuxApt

find . –name “*.gz” –exec tar zxf {} “;”

./build_apt.sh

BUILD OEM

In Terminal, install the following:

sudo apt-get install automake1.7 libasound2-Dev

In Terminal:

cd /home/administrator/MgDev/1.2.x/MgDev

pushd Oem/CppUnit-1.9.14

rm aclocal.m4

popd

./build_oem.sh

If build_oem.sh fails at the DWF toolkit component and complains about AM_PROG_LIBTOOL not found, install libtool:

sudo apt-get install libtool

and re-run build_oem.sh reference

BUILD MAPGUIDE

In Terminal, install the following:

sudo apt-get install libexpat1 libexpat1-dev doxygen

In Terminal:

sudo chown administrator /usr/lib/python2.4

sudo chown administrator /usr/lib/python2.5

aclocal

libtoolize --force

automake --add-missing --copy

autoconf

./configure --enable-optimized --without-python

make

make install

To activate webstudio, you have to copy the files to the webserverextension folder as follows:

cp -R /home/administrator/mgdev/1.2.x/MgDev/Web/src/webstudio “SPACE” /usr/local/mapguideopensource/webserverextensions/www/webstudio

The above command should be all one line, with a 'space' between webstudio and /usr

Reboot the server

To start Mapguide on the server:

cd /usr/local/mapguideopensource/webserverextensions/apache2/bin/

./httpd

cd /usr/local/mapguideopensource/server/bin

./mgserver.sh > /dev/null 2>&1

Enjoy!
