[mapguide-internals] Fwd: Problems to Build MapGuide OpenSource 3.1.2 and FDO 4.0.0 for CentOS 6 and 7 with 64 bits

[Jackie Ng]

Hello Luiz,

I am only contactable by email and through these mailing lists. I don't do
Google Meet / Zoom / Social Media / etc.

Regarding your Linux build problems.

I use Vagrant to spin up VirtualBox VMs for Ubuntu 14 and CentOS 6 VMs to
build MapGuide within them. I don't produce official builds of MapGuide for
Linux any other way because up until MGOS 3.1.2 

The vagrant environment can be found here:

https://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/browser/trunk/Tools/Vagrant

Which you can check out yourself from SVN like so:

svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/mapguide/trunk/Tools/Vagrant

Please note however for MGOS 4.0 (what trunk is currently), we have
completely overhauled how Linux builds are done. It is all CMake-based and
builds are done within docker containers to ensure the same repeating build
environments every time. 

The current source in trunk MapGuide and FDO is *no longer buildable with
autotools* and we now require you to use CMake. Whatever autotools configs,
makefiles or wrapper shells scripts currently in the MapGuide/FDO sources
are no longer maintained and will eventually be removed in the future.

The docker-based build system is a work in progress here:
