Fusion build tools

Fusion build tools is a zip file containing the build.xml and associated build tools required to "re-compile" fusionSF.js and fusionSF-compressed.js on a production fusion installation.

Use the Fusion build tools if you have made patches and/or modifications to your fusion installation, and you need to build a new fusionSF.js and/or fusionSF-compressed.js

In order to use the Fusion build tools, you need to have ​Apache Ant installed.

• TBA
  • Size: TBD bytes
  • md5: TBD

To use the Fusion build tools, extract the zip file contents into your fusion directory and navigate to this directory in the command prompt and execute the following command:

ant compress

This will re-build fusionSF.js and fusionSF-compressed.js under fusion\lib

Due to the default installation location (under Program Files), you may need to do this under a UAC-elevated command prompt or fix the directory permissions so that normal users can create/modify files.

Windows Compatibility

IMPORTANT: MapGuide Open Source 2.6 and newer is not supported on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 in either IIS or Apache configurations. ​MapGuide Open Source 2.5 is the last release to support Windows XP and Windows Server 2003

32-bit		64-bit
Windows Vista	Maybe+	Maybe+
Windows 7	Yes	Yes
Windows Server 2008	Yes+	Yes+
Windows Server 2008 R2	N/A	Yes
Windows 8	Yes1	Yes1
Windows Server 2012	N/A	Yes1
Windows 8.1	Maybe1	Maybe1

+ Not tested, but similar enough to Windows 7 to theoretically work

• IIS configuration will probably not work. Apache config should work due to its self-contained nature

1 IIS/.Net successfully tested on Windows 8 64-bit and Windows Server 2012. Windows 8 32-bit is similar enough to theoretically work. Apache config untested

Windows RT (ie. Windows 8 on ARM devices) is not a supported platform for installing MapGuide Open Source

Installer Notes

• You cannot use the windows installer to in-place upgrade an existing MapGuide Open Source 2.6 installation, you cannot have 2.6 and 2.6.1 installed side-by-side with the windows installer and you must uninstall 2.6 before installing 2.6.1. Use the InstantSetup bundle if side-by-side installs are required. Be sure to back up any data and applications before carrying out the new installation.
• On linux, the install path is /usr/local/mapguideopensource-2.6.1 and the FDO install path is /usr/local/fdo-3.9.0. You must uninstall 2.6 before installing 2.6.1. Be sure to back up any data and applications before carrying out the new installation.
