Building MapGuide on Fedora Core 6
These instructions are for building and installing the latest MapGuide Open Source on Fedora Core 6. 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).
For Fedora Core 6, you need GCC 4.1.1. To check what version you have type gcc --version at the command line. GCC is available from http://gcc.gnu.org/.
Install subversion available from http://subversion.tigris.org/. For this, make sure to run "./configure --with-ssl" because the osgeo subversion vaults use https.
Install MapGuide Linux, Apache, Tomcat package
Download mapguideaptinstaller-1.2.0.tar.gz from http://mapguide.osgeo.org/download1.2.0.html.
In a shell window execute the following commands in the directory where you downloaded the apt installer file:
tar zxf mapguideaptinstaller-1.2.0.tar.gz cd LinuxApt ./build_apt.sh
Install FDO 3.2
Details about the following can be found on the http://fdo.osgeo.org/. 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 http://svn.osgeo.org/fdocore/branches/3.2.x/ fdocore cd fdocore mkdir Providers cd Providers svn checkout http://svn.osgeo.org/fdosdf/branches/3.2.x/Providers/SDF SDF svn checkout http://svn.osgeo.org/fdoshp/branches/3.2.x/Providers/SHP SHP
Similarly for any other providers that you are interested in. Make sure to read the relevant section in the OpenSourceBuild__README.txt file for other providers.
Other providers:
svn checkout http://svn.osgeo.org/fdogdal/branches/3.2.x/Providers/GDAL GDAL svn checkout http://svn.osgeo.org/fdordbms/branches/3.2.x/Providers/GenericRdbms GenericRdbms svn checkout http://svn.osgeo.org/fdoogr/branches/3.2.x/Providers/OGR OGR svn checkout http://svn.osgeo.org/fdowms/branches/3.2.x/Providers/WMS WMS svn checkout http://svn.osgeo.org/fdowfs/branches/3.2.x/Providers/WFS WFS
cd .. source ./setenvironment.sh ./build_thirdparty.sh ./build_linux.sh
Install MapGuide
Details about the following can be found in http://mapguide.osgeo.org/1.2/docs/BuildConfigureMgOpenSourceOnLinux/Index.html.
In a shell window execute the following commands:
svn checkout http://svn.osgeo.org/mapguide/trunk/MgDev mapguide cd mapguide ./build_oem.sh
There is an 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.
Recompile with latest updates
To update to the latest code for any of the components above change to the directory where "svn checkout ..." was run and run "svn update" (without any other arguments) instead. If any files were updated, deleted or added (subversion will output any changes to the screen) rerun the steps to build that component.
