Building Mapguide on Ubuntu 7.10 Server

WORK IN PROGRESS

Below are instructions that will aid a user with installing FDO 3.3 and MapGuide Open Source 2.0 from SVN trunk on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) Server. It is based on previous instructions, credit to their authors!

BASIC SETUP

Install a basic Ubuntu Server 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon)

The default directory used in these instructions is called /home/administrator. This assumes that you created your primary user account with the name "administrator". If you did not, mentally adjust where necessary.

By the time you read this, FDO 3.3 and MapGuide 2.0 may have their own branches in SVN. If so, just swap out references to /trunk/ with the appropriate /branch/* where necessary.

You may want to consider using a client like PuTTY to access your server's terminal via openssh-server. This really helps with copying and pasting. If so, either ensure that you install this service during your basic install, or add "openssh-server" to the list of packages below.

Type the following in Terminal to install the prerequisite build tools:

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

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

sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash

and choose No at the prompt. Be aware that this changes your default /bin/sh from dash back to bash.

Prepare your SVN profile to use the appropriate options for FDO and MapGuide. Type the following at the Terminal.

svn info http://svn.osgeo.org/fdo (this just sets up your initial .subversion settings folder)

nano .subversion/config

Edit config with the following. You can enable options by removing the comments (# ) in front of them, or just add new lines to the appropriate locations:

(in the Miscellany section, enable)

Use-commit-times=yes

Enable-auto-props=yes

(in the Auto-Props section, add)

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

Save and close the config file.

FDO INSTALL

In terminal type the following:

svn co http://svn.osgeo.org/fdo/trunk fdosvn --username=guest --password=guest

sudo mkdir /usr/local/fdo-3.3.0 (type in your password if prompted)

sudo chown administrator /usr/local/fdo-3.3.0 (make sure that if you are not logged in as administrator, you change this to your userid)

cd fdosvn

source ./setenvironment.sh

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 - -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/webtierextensions/apache2/bin

./httpd

cd /usr/local/mapguideopensource/server/bin

./mgserver.sh

Enjoy!
