The installation instructions here are detailed, so I hope everybody |

|
|
can install the extension. People who are experienced will know |
| 9 |
|
|
most of the commands, but everybody should be able to use |
| 10 |
|
|
this extension. |

Requirements |
| 22 |
|
|
-------------------- |
| 23 |
|
|
|
| 24 |
|
|
To use the UMN MapServer extension you need: |
| 25 |
|
|
|
| 26 |
|
|
UMN MapServer python-mapscript |
| 27 |
|
|
|
| 28 |
|
|
The extension was tested with UMN MapServer 4.0 and 4.2, |
| 29 |
|
|
older versions may not work. |

Installation |
| 34 |
|
|
-------------------- |
| 35 |
|
|
|
| 36 |
|
|
1. You need to build and install python-mapscript if you haven't installed yet. |
| 37 |
|
|
|
| 38 |
|
|
Download the UMN MapServer (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/dload.html) |
| 39 |
|
|
or use one on your system. The mapscript is included in the source package. |
| 40 |
|
|
|
| 41 |
jan |

Unpack and compile the UMN MapServer and use the following optional |
| 42 |
|
|
parameters: |
| 43 |
|
|
|
| 44 |
|
|
proj: include projection support |
| 45 |
|
|
gdal: include raster support |
| 46 |
|
|
tiff: include tiff support |
| 47 |
|
|
|
| 48 |
|
|
In some cases gdal is not necessary and mapscript can install without |
| 49 |
|
|
gdal support. |

A detailed install instruction can be found on the UMN MapServer Homepage. |
| 51 |
jschuengel |
2248 |
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu) |
| 52 |
jschuengel |
2241 |
|
| 53 |
|
|
Go to the directory where the UMN MapServer source code tar-ball exists: |
| 54 |
|
|
|
| 55 |
|
|
tar -zxf mapserver-4.2.0.tar.gz |
| 56 |
|
|
|
| 57 |
|
|
Go to the new created directory: |
| 58 |
|
|
|
| 59 |
|
|
cd mapserver-4.2.0 |
| 60 |
|
|
|
| 61 |
|
|
Configure an make the UMN MapServer |
| 62 |
|
|
|
| 63 |
jschuengel |
2254 |
./configure --with-gdal --with-proj --with-tiff |
| 64 |
jschuengel |
2241 |
make |
| 65 |
|
|
|
| 66 |
|
|
Now we can compile and install the python mapscript |
| 67 |
|
|
|
| 68 |
|
|
cd mapscript/python/ |
| 69 |
|
|
python setup.py build |
| 70 |
|
|
|
| 71 |
jschuengel |
2248 |
Some warnings are ok during the build of python mapscript |
| 72 |
jschuengel |
2241 |
|
| 73 |
jan |
2290 |
At last we either install mapscript as root: |
| 74 |
jschuengel |
2241 |
|
| 75 |
|
|
python setup.py install |
| 76 |
|
|
|
| 77 |
jan |
2290 |
or (if you don't want to pollute your system with circumventing |
| 78 |
|
|
the package installation system) you may set something |
| 79 |
|
|
like this (not that the exact path depends on your system and |
| 80 |
|
|
where you place the mapserver sources) for testing the stuff |
| 81 |
|
|
temporarily: |
| 82 |
|
|
|
| 83 |
|
|
export PYTHONPATH=~/mapserver-4.2.0/mapscript/python/build/lib.linux-i686-2.3 |
| 84 |
|
|
|
| 85 |

2. Add the umn_mapserver extension import statements to ~/.thuban/thubanstart.py |
| 86 |
jschuengel |
2241 |
if you run thuban directly from the source directory the statement is: |
| 87 |
|
|
|
| 88 |
|
|
import Extensions.umn_mapserver.mf_import |
| 89 |
jan |
2290 |
import Extensions.umn_mapserver.mf_export |
| 90 |
|
|
import Extensions.umn_mapserver.mf_handle |
| 91 |

|
|
More about how to use an extension |
| 93 |
|
|
see README in thuban/Examples/simple_extensions. |
| 94 |
|
|
|
| 95 |
|
|
3. Start Thuban and use the extension. |

Usage |
| 100 |
|
|
-------------------- |
| 101 |
|
|
|
| 102 |
|
|
The usage of the extension is very intuitive, so you will see what you can do |
| 103 |
|
|
while you are using the extension ;) |
