Builld / Release Component Query

[Crispin_at_1Spatial]

Hi,

I can't follow the component build process in my head at the moment - for clarity can someone answer the following for the 2.1 build/installer process please:

FDO - is the FDO in MG 2.1 built from trunk, a snaphot of the 3.4 release or built from the 3.4 branch (with various fixes since the 3.4 release)?

GDAL - is this a fixed DLL or part of the build process?  1.6.1 is now released with a load of updates for GeoRaster that would be good to have as part of the build/installer.

 Thanks in advance, Crispin

Hi Crispin,

FDO is definitely a 3.4 release. I didn't build the beta installer, but I would guess that it's either built with the release SDK, or the build result of the 3.4 branch (Jason can answer that one)

The version of GDAL is whatever comes with that release/snapshot of FDO

Hi Crispin,

MapGuide 2.1 Beta is built using the released FDO 3.4.0 Windows SDK; we don't build FDO ourselves.

I personally wouldn't support using a non-released version of FDO in an official MapGuide release unless there were strong extenuating circumstances, and communication with the FDO project.  I'm a bit nervous that Fusion (and its bundled OpenLayers) aren't official releases.

If a GDAL 1.6 upgrade is desired for FDO, that should probably be discussed on the fdo-internals list, for consideration in a potential FDO 3.4.1 release.  In the meantime, I think that GDAL 1.6.1 is supposed to be binary-compatible with GDAL 1.6, so you may be able to just build your own GDAL or pull from the OSGeo4W distribution and swap them in.

FYI, there is some problem with the released build of FDO 3.4.0:
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/fdo-internals/2009-April/002833.html

AFAIK, the posted build has not been updated.
Is the installer using the posted FDO build, or a fresh build from the
actual branch?

I believe a new FDO package was silently posted; the date on the SDK download is a week after the problem was discovered:

http://download.osgeo.org/fdo/3.4.0/release/binaries/

The 2.1 beta / installer is using the Windows SDK from that directory.
