Note

You must be sure to perform the prerequisite steps before following this page.

For the impatient

To build the zoo_loader.cgi CGI program with the default options, cd to the directory where you extracted the ZOO Kernel source code package and use the following commands:

$ cd zoo-kernel
$ autoconf
$ ./configure
$ make

Unless something went wrong, you should have executables in the current directory for the zoo_loader.cgi CGI program. You can copy the zoo_loader.cgi program and the main.cfg file to your HTTP server’s CGI directory and start using it.

At this step your ZOO-Kernel should work. Nevertheless, don’t forget to correct the main.cfg settings to set tmpPath and tmpUrl to fit your web server configuration.

Configure Options

Here is the list of available options as returned by ./configure –help:

--with-PACKAGE[=ARG]    use PACKAGE [ARG=yes]
--without-PACKAGE       do not use PACKAGE (same as --with-PACKAGE=no)
--with-gdal-config=FILE specify an alternative gdal-config file
--with-xml2config=FILE  specify an alternative xml2-config file
--with-mapserver=PATH   specify the path for MapServer compiled source tree
--with-python=PATH      To enable python support or specify an alternative
                        directory for python installation, disabled by
                        default
--with-pyvers=NUM       To use a specific python version
--with-php=PATH         To enable php support or specify an alternative
                        directory for php installation, disabled by default
--with-perl=PATH        To enable perl support or specify an alternative
                        directory for perl installation, disabled by default
--with-java=PATH        To enable java support, specify a JDK_HOME,
                        disabled by default
--with-js=PATH          specify --with-js=path-to-js to enable js support,
                        specify --with-js on linux debian like, js support
                        is disabled by default

All the options are described in more details below.

(Required) GDAL Support

If your gdal-config program is not found in your PATH then you can use the --with-gdal-config option to specify its location. For instance, let’s suppose that your gdal-config was installed in /usr/local/bin and this directory is not in your PATH, then you can use the following command:

$ ./configure --with-gdal-config=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config

(Required) XML2 Support

If your xml2-config program is not found in your PATH then you can use the --with-xml2config option to specify its location. For instance, let’s suppose that your xml2-config was installed in /usr/local/bin and this directory is not in your PATH, then you can use the following command:

$ ./configure --with-xml2config=/usr/local/bin/xml2-config

(Optional) MapServer Support

If you want to activate the WMS, WFS and WCS outputs using MapServer then you will have to use the --with-mapserver option. You have to set the path to your mapserver-config locate in the source code of MapServer as following command:

$ ./configure --with-mapserver=/path/to/your/mapserver_config/

(Optional) Python Support

If you want to activate Python support for the ZOO Kernel then you will have to use the --with-python option. If your python-config program is found in your PATH then you don’t have to specify the path where Python was installed, such as:

$ ./configure --with-python

This assumes that python-config is found in your PATH.

In the case that your python-config is not found in your PATH, then you can specify the Python installation directory you are using. For instance, let’s suppose that you installed Python in /usr/local, then you can use the following command:

$ ./configure --with-python=/usr/local

This assumes that /usr/local/bin/python-config exists.

(Optional) Python Version

If you want use a specific version of Python you will have to use the --with-pyvers option. You can specify a Python version as:

$ ./configure --with-pyvers=2.6

(Optional) PHP Support

To be able to activate PHP support for the ZOO Kernel you’ll need to get a local PHP Embedded installation; for more information about the required configure options when compiling PHP you can refer to this page :

If you want to activate the PHP support for the ZOO Kernel then you will have to use the --with-php option. If your php-config program is found in your PATH then you don’t have to specify the path where PHP was installed, then you can use the following commnd:

$ ./configure --with-php

This assumes that php-config is found in your PATH.

In the case that your php-config is not found in your PATH, then you can specify the PHP installation directory you are using. For instance, let’s suppose that you installed PHP in /usr/local, then you can use the following command:

$ ./configure --with-php=/usr/local

This assumes that /usr/local/bin/php-config exists.

(Optional) Perl Support

If you want to activate Perl support for the ZOO Kernel then you will have to use the --with-perl option. If you do not set any value to this option, then the perl program will be searched in your PATH. So in such a case, you can use the following command:

$ ./configure --with-perl

This assumes that perl is found in your PATH.

In the other case, for custom Perl installations, you can set the installation directory. For instance, let’s suppose that you installed Perl in /usr/local and /usr/local/bin is not in your PATH, then you can use the following command:

$ ./configure --with-perl=/usr/local

This assumes that /usr/local/bin/perl exists.

(Optional) Java Support

If you want to activate Java support for the ZOO Kernel then you will have to use the --with-java option and set the installation path of your Java SDK. For instance, let’s suppose that your Java SDK was installed in the /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.22/ directory, then you can use the following command:

$ ./configure --with-java=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.22/

This assumes that the include/linux and jre/lib/i386/client/ subdirectories exist in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.22/, include/linux contains the jni.h headers file and jre/lib/i386/client/ contains the libjvm.so file.

Note

With Mac OS X you only have to set macos as the value for the --with-java option to activate Java support. For example:

$ ./configure --with-java=macos

(Optional) JavaScript Support

If you want to activate JavaScript support for the ZOO Kernel then you will have to use the --with-js option. If you are using a “Debian-like” GNU/Linux distribution then dpkg will be used to detect if the required packages are installed and you don’t have to specify anything here, so you can use the following command:

$ ./configure --with-js

This assumes that js_api.h and libmozjs.so are found in default directories.

If you have a custom installation of SpiderMonkey or you are not using a Debian packaging system, then you’ll have to specify the directory where you installed it. For instance, let’s suppose that you installed your SpiderMonkey in /usr, then you’ll have to use the following command:

$ ./configure --with-js=/usr

This assumes that the /usr/include/js exists and contains the js_api.h headers file and /usr/lib contains libmozjs.so file.
