[Geomoose-users] 3 bug reports and a working server

[Brian Wilson]

Greetings moose people,
This is sort of 3 bug reports...

Yesterday I dug around in Github code because I am mostly curious about how GM3 is implemented, not really trying to deploy it. I found that to be awkward because there appear to be several repos and I could not really tell what I needed to do. So today I decided to try the NORMAL approach and use "quickstart" to set up a working GeoMoose demo server.

Working from https://geomoose.github.io/gm3/ Quickstart where I see there are 4 Quickstart options.

1 -- I am most comfortable with Linux so I started there "For developers on *nix-systems" ... Docker image won't build, missing pthreads library is the error. Spent a couple hours chasing that one.
I found some vague information online about debugging the problem in cmake but cmake is a foreign entity to me and I stalled out there.

2 -- I am a developer so next I tried  "For developers on Windows" but this appears to be only the Javascript browser portion, no server. So... call this ½ a stack? Incomplete instructions??
I can successfully start up the empty GeoMoose framework with no data in it, but I have no idea what this is supposed to do for me so I stopped here.

3 -- Finally I tried "For MS4W" and discovered the download links on page are broken. I can get MapServer but not Geomoose This page here https://geomoose.github.io/gm3/ms4w-quickstart/index.html

4 -- I am not willing to spend time "Deploying on EC2" at the moment. :) So I did not find any problems there. :)

OKAY after all of that I took a break, went for a walk, then felt reinvigorated so I dug around in the broken URLs in #3 and found the actual files in GeoMoose downloads. I have Apache and GM3 running on my puny Windows 10 laptop, for testing.
