[fdo-users] AutoCAD Map 3D 2009 and FDO PostGIS Provider 3.3 problems with installation

[Astrid Emde (WhereGroup)]

Hello devs,

I would like to test AutoCAD Map 3d 2009 and FDO for Postgresql.

I followed the instruction at http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FdoPostGISNotes

Here is what I did:
1. german installation of AutoCAD Map 3D 2009

2. download of the package (Logged FdoPg33L.zip ) at
http://www.geomapgis.com/web/geomap-group/fdo/index.html

I took the package Logged FdoPg33L.zip but I don't know the difference
between logged and not logged
* Not Logged FdoPg33.zip
* Logged FdoPg33L.zip

3. I copied the tree dlls to:
C:\Autodesk\AutoCAD_Map3D_2009_German_Win_32bit\x86\de-DE\Fdo\Program
Files\Root\FDO\bin
This is the FDO directory where I found the other dlls and the providers.xml

4. I added the FeatureProvider to
C:\Autodesk\AutoCAD_Map3D_2009_German_Win_32bit\x86\de-DE\Fdo\Program

Files\Root\FDO\bin\providers.xml (I edited the Versions 3.3.0.0)

  <FeatureProvider>
    <Name>OSGeo.PostGIS.3.3</Name>
    <DisplayName>OSGeo FDO Provider for PostGIS</DisplayName>
    <Description>FDO Provider for PostGIS</Description>
    <IsManaged>False</IsManaged>
    <Version>3.3.0.0</Version>
    <FeatureDataObjectsVersion>3.3.0.0</FeatureDataObjectsVersion>
    <LibraryPath>.\PostGISProvider.dll</LibraryPath>
  </FeatureProvider>

5. I installed Postgresql 8.2.5-1 and Postgis 1.3.5-1

6. I added the path to the postgresql bin directory to the PATH variable:
PATH C:\Program
Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem

7. I restarted the computer

8. I started AutoCAD Map 3D 2009

9. in the menu you can choose Datei - Mit Daten verbinden (english
translation could be: File - Connect with data)
I expeted that there would be another entry for the FDO PostgreSQL
connection, but there isn't.


Do you have an idea what I made wrong? Is there another location, another
file where I have to make changes?


I found another /fdo/bin-directory where I found some more
OSGeo.FDO.Providers......dlls (like

OSGeo.FDO.Providers.MySQL.Overrides.dll)
C:\Autodesk\AutoCAD_Map3D_2009_German_Win_32bit\x86\Program
Files\Root\FDO\bin

Sorry - I really have no experience with AutoCAD Map3D 2009 and of the FDO
part. But I would like to test the

possibility to edit the PostgreSQL/PostGIS data which is stored in the
PostgreSQL database directly through the fdo connection.

As I read at
* http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FdoPostGISNotes
* or http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/fdo-users/2008-November/001325.html
it should generally work with 3.3 fdo PostGIS provider.

Maybe you could help me to manage the problems that I have at the very
beginning.

Thanks in advance

Astrid
