[fdo-users] Newbe question

Fri Mar 7 04:27:01 EST 2008

Hi,

Just to say that Jason's instructions work (almost) perfectly for the latest mgos/fdo build from svn. You might need to get a little help from the mgos mailing list for the very last make, depending on whether it has been fixed in the current svn build, but I have mgos2 working just fine on Ubuntu 7.10 now.

Ed, just so you're aware, you may be in for a little bit of pain depending on the platform that you are building for.  Cross-platform build support is one of the acknowledged weaknesses of both FDO and MapGuide, and is an area we could really use some help in.

There is some community-contributed documentation on the process in the OSGeo wiki, for various builds of MapGuide.  I wrote (refactored) the one for Ubuntu 7.10 & MGOS 2.0 pre-beta, but didn't get it working entirely to my satisfaction at the time, and haven't had a chance to go back to it.

Hi Ed,

If you trying to build the libraries  from scratch from the source files, you would have to build the Core API and then each Provider. This can be done separately or in all in one step if all the source files are extracted to a common directory structure and the top level build_linux.sh build script invoked. Linux build directions can be found at http://fdo.osgeo.org/files/fdo/docs/OpenSourceBuild__README.html. Once built, the libraries and supporting files will need to be installed in /usr/local/fdo-3.3.0/lib/.

If you are simply trying to simply extract the Linux RH ES 4 binaries in the SDK .gz file to a runtime location, then all the files in the package are required to be extracted to /usr/local/fdo-3.3.0/lib/

If you needs details on the MapGuide install specifics, you will need to contact their user community.

I would like to build MG2.0 and FDO 3.3.0

Which version of MapGuide/FDO are you using?

You may wish to post this thread to both the fdo and mapguide user lists at the same time.

I am in the process of building a MapGuide OS install on Linux using both the instructions from MapGuide and FDO. My question is whether the core source files are inclusive of the individual providers. Do I build the core and then build the providers separately.  Also, is the SDK required for a strictly runtime MapGuide build?
