Instruction to Build MapGuide on CentOS 5.4

Build Environment Setup

1. CentOS 5.4 uses GCC 4.1 as its native compiler so MapGuide 2.2 does compile cleanly on CentOS 5.4. The following rpms are required (list may not be complete):

   yum install gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake automake17 libtool bison
   yum install libjpeg-devel libpng-devel fontconfig-devel freetype-devel
   yum install libxml2-devel expat-devel curl-devel libxslt-devel openldap-devel
   yum install subversion ant xml-commons-apis
   

2. Download Java SE JDK 6 from Sun and install to /usr/local/. Suppose the installation is under /usr/local/jdk1.6.0_21, follow below steps to export JAVA_HOME from .bashrc. (Where to install JDK does not really matter) After installation, run command java -version to test if the installation is successful or not.

   cd /usr/local
   ln -s jdk1.6.0_21 java
   cd
   java -version
   

Open .bashrc in an editor, add the following lines

JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java
export JAVA_HOME
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:

3. Download FD0 3.5.0 CR1 Linux Binary tarball from ​Here and install to /usr/local/fdo-3.5.0. Installed FDO file structure under /usr/local/ should be like the following:

   /usr/local/fdo-3.5.0
   /usr/local/fdo-3.5.0/lib
   /usr/local/fdo-3.5.0/include
   

Build Process

1. Checkout the source from Subversion

   svn checkout http://svn.osgeo.org/mapguide/branches/2.2/MgDev mgdev
   OR 
   svn export http://svn.osgeo.org/mapguide/branches/2.2/MgDev mgdev
   

2. Build the Oem tree

   cd mgdev
   ./build_oem.sh
   pushd Oem/fusion
   ant prepare
   ant compress
   popd
   pushd Oem/LinuxApt
   ./build_apt.sh
   popd
   

3. Build MapGuide

   aclocal
   libtoolize --force
   automake --add-missing --copy
   autoconf
   ./configure --enable-optimized
   make
   make install
   

You should now have a copy of MapGuide 2.2 built and installed to /usr/local/mapguideopensource.
