[mapguide-users] building 64bit openmapguide on rhel 5.4

[Rajeev Singh]

I concur with Zac, but I guess the timing is not right. If at some point we
get around to removing the Oem src code and compare with their respective
releases, I will get back to see how to move that for wider distrib.

thx

migrating away from using all these third party libs in the oem tree
on linux and use the system ones when possible is a better approach

example, Berkeley DB XML uses specific versions of xerces and xalan.  These
three third party libraries should remain in sync to ensure repository
stability.  In order to compile with GCC 4.4, we will need to update a
significant portion of the Oem tree.  Since we are about to hit beta, I
would say any additional changes to third party / Oem libraries would have
to be considered on a case by case basis.

http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/MapGuideRfc89 was a required upgrade for
2.2.
