Compile ZOO from source

Compile ZOO from source
---------------------

Follow the steps indicated bellow to install ZOO-Kernel on Mac OS |trade| operating systems.

1. Install Xcode.

2. Before you start downloading the ZOO-Project source code, some more tools are required in order to compile ZOO-Kernel properly. First of all install PROJ, GEOS and GDAL frameworks from here. At this step, you should get the following directories on your local hard drive :

   /Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework
   /Library/Frameworks/GEOS.framework
   /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework
   

3. Then, create a src directory and inside that directory download the gettext source code and uncompress it. Now, compile gettext with the following commands to produce a universal binary :

   cd gettext-0.18.1.1
   CFLAGS="-O -g -arch i386 -arch ppc -arch x86_64"  \
     LDFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch ppc -arch x86_64"   ./configure
   make
   sudo make install
   

4. Compile and install ZOO-Kernel

   • Download source from SVN, and use the following command to compile libcgic :

     svn co http://svn.zoo-project.org/svn/trunk zoo
     cd zoo/thirds/cgic206
     make
     

   • If you produced the libcgic.a file, you can run autoconf and then configure from zoo-kernel directory.

     cd zoo/zoo-kernel
     autoconf
     ./configure --with-python --with-java=macos \
        --with-gdal-config=/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/1.8/Programs/gdal-config
     

     Obviously, if you don't need Python or Java support then you should remove the corresponding configure option.

     Note

     Note that we used the --with-java=macos configure option. Due to the generic location of the JDK on all Mac OS X platforms, you don't have to provide its full path.

   • Now, run the following commands to compile and deploy your ZOO-Kernel on your Apache server :

     make
     cp zoo_loader.cgi main.cfg /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables
     

     You should be ready to request your ZOO-Kernel installation using the following link : http://localhost/cgi-bin/zoo_loader.cgi?request=GetCapabilities&service=WPS .

     If everything is ok, you can follow the next steps to deploy new Services Providers.

     Note

     If you are using your own libs (not the default libs on your system) then you must take care to create universal versions of those libs, as the ZOO-Kernel will try to create a universal binary. If you are not following this advice, you might receive compile errors of symbol(s) not found for architecture ppc or file was built for unsupported file format which is not the architecture being linked (ppc).

Deploy the OGR Services Provider

tmpPath = /Library/WebServer/Documents/tmp
tmpUrl = ../../tmp

mkdir /Library/WebServer/Documents/tmp

cd zoo/zoo-services/ogr/base-vect-ops/
export PATH=$PATH:/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/1.7/Programs/
make
cp cgi-env/* /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables

import osgeo.ogr
import libxml2

cd src/libxml2-2.7.3/python/
python setup.py install

Test using Local Demo Page

• Download the OpenLayers library and uncompress it in your personal Sites directory (located in your home directory).

• Rename the OpenLayers directory as openlayers.

• Download this zip archive and then uncompress it in your personal Sites directory.

• Load your local demo pages using urls similar to the following (replacing MyUserName by your MacOS user name) :

  • http://localhost/~MyUserName/zoo-demo/spatialtools.html
  • http://localhost/~MyUserName/zoo-demo/spatialtools-py.html
