Installing Mapguide Open Source on Ubuntu

Posted July 19, 2007 * Comments(7)

***

Edit (Jan 2008): Since Mapguide is being continually developed, these instructions are now a little out of date. For the most up to date instructions you should see the wiki pages on the osgeo site that I and others have been working on.

***

As promised, here are my instructions for installing the svn version of mapguide open source on Ubuntu 6.06 server. Standard disclaimer- I did this with a lot of help from the Autodesk team (thanks Trevor). Any improvements, or problems, let me know in the comments. Now, buckle up and get comfy because it’s a long ride…

Basic Setup
Install a basic Ubuntu Server 6.06 (the rest of this guide assumes no GUI and not running as the root user)

Using apt, install the following:
subversion, gcc, g++, flex, bison, automake 1.9, libjpeg62, libjpeg62-dev, libtool, zlib1g, zlib1g-dev, libxml2-dev, make

FDO
wget http://svn.osgeo.org/fdocore/branches/3.2.x/checkoutsvn.sh

edit checkoutsvn.sh with the following:
FDO_SVN_USERNAME=guest
FDO_SVN_PASSWORD=guest
FDO_SVN_SOURCEDIR=branches/3.2.x

mkdir fdosvn

cd fdosvn

run /path/to/checkoutsvn.sh, permanently accept the certificates and then cancel the script (ctrl+c for each checkout)

find .subversion/config (hidden directory probably in your home directory)

edit config with the following (either by commenting out or adding):

in the [miscellany] section:
use-commit-times=yes
enable-auto-props=yes

in the [auto-props] section:
*.* = svn:eol-style=native
*.sh = svn:executable

rm -rf fdosvn/*
rm -rf fdosvn/.svn

run checkoutsvn.sh again

cd /usr/local

sudo mkdir fdo-3.2.0
sudo mkdir fdo-3.2.2
sudo chown (your user) fdo-3.2.0
sudo chown (your user) fdo-3.2.2

cd ~/fdosvn

source ./setenvironment.sh

nohup ./build_thirdparty.sh > & buildthirdparty.log (if you want to log the build)
nohup ./build_linux.sh > & buildlinux.log

Apache/Php
cd (back to your home directory)

mkdir mgdev

svn co http://svn.osgeo.org/mapguide/branches/1.2.x/

install using apt:
libcurl3, libcurl3-dev, libxslt1.1,libxslt1-dev, expat

sudo mkdir /usr/local/mapguideopensource

sudo chown (your user) /usr/local/mapguideopensource

edit /etc/apt/sources.list to include the multiverse

install using apt:
sun-java-jdk5 (accept the license)

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.06 (or similar)

cd /your/home/directory/mgdev/Oem/LinuxApt

extract all the tar.gz files

./build_apt.sh

Build_oem
Install using apt:
automake1.7 (but don’t change symlinks or anything)

cd /your/home/directory/mgdev

./build_oem.sh

If you receive an error relating to CppUnit then do the following:

pushd Oem/CppUnit-1.9.14
rm aclocal.m4
popd

./build_oem.sh

Build Mapguide
Install using apt:
libexpat1, libexpat1-dev, doxygen

sudo chown (your user) /usr/lib/python-2.4

aclocal

libtoolize –force

automake –add-missing –copy

autoconf

./configure –enable-optimized

make

make install

Problems?
Can’t find webstudio?

cp -R /your/home/directory/mgdev/Web/Src/webstudio /usr/local/mapguideopensource/webserverextensions/www/webstudio

    Dear Jo,

    I really happy you made this tutorial for installing mapguide into the ubuntu. But I don’t know the following error when I try to do ./build_linux.sh > & buildlinux.log.

    And, How I can ensure that the following processing I do not make wrong?

    run checkoutsvn.sh again

    cd /usr/local

    cd ~/fdosvn
    source ./setenvironment.sh
    nohup ./build_thirdparty.sh > & buildthirdparty.log (if you want to log the build)
    nohup ./build_linux.sh > & buildlinux.log

    Because it was prompted some error.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Mark,

    Thanks for stopping by. My first question is- have you done the whole installation as root? That would make a difference to the sections where you change ownership of certain files, and when you set the environment variables.

    Also, did build_thirdparty go OK?

    Jo

  3. Mark on September 3rd, 2007

    Hi Jo,

    First of all, If I do not login to root, how I can use apt-get install to install subversion, gcc, g , flex, bison, automake 1.9, libjpeg62, libjpeg62-dev, libtool, zlib1g, zlib1g-dev, libxml2-dev, make?

    Thanks in advance.

    Mark

    Hi Mark,

    You use sudo. From what I understand, that temporarily gives you root privileges for that operation. It will ask you for your password at that point and you should enter the password you use for your non-root login. So:

    sudo apt-get install ….

    Hope that helps

    Jo

    Thank you so much for this tutorial. It is really sad that there isn’t much help available for installing mapguide on Ubuntu. Your documentation is of great help to us who depend on free/opensource community and want to contribute to this great bunch of people.
    Keep it up!

  6. Marc Pfister on January 4th, 2008

    The “unknown compiler” error might be fixed by installing the “build-essential” package with apt.

  7. admin on January 7th, 2008

    Thanks Marc- yes, you probably should install build-essential. Sometimes it’s necessary, sometimes not- actually these instructions are now a little out of date and the ones on the OSGEO wiki (http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Building_MapGuide_quick_starts_guides) should be followed instead. I’ll try and update these when I get the chance.

    Thanks for stopping by,

    Jo
