'''Getting the packages you need with yum:'''[[BR]]

After doing a fresh desktop install of Fedora these are some packages I usually need:

{{{
sudo yum install ant ant-contrib ant-manual autogen automake autoconf boost boost-devel cmake cppunit cppunit-devel cvs gcc-c++ byacc expat-devel fftw flex git subversion libjpeg-turbo-devel freetype freetype-devel  fftw-devel  java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel libcurl-devel libcurl libpng-devel libpng libtool libXmu libXmu-devel minizip-devel podofo podofo-devel qt qt-devel swig thunderbird xemacs xemacs-common xemacs-info.noarch xemacs-packages-base.noarch xemacs-packages-extra-info.noarch xemacs-packages-extra.noarch yasm yasm-devel zlib-devel
}}} 


'''Make a workspace:'''[[BR]]


I have several workspaces under /work

{{{
/work/osgeo
/work/geoeye
/work/drb
}}}

'''Building'''[[BR]]

To build the osgeo side:

I have files that I source.  One for osgeo one for geoeye.  So I can source one or the other and then build test code.  So in my bash start up scripts I start with no ossim stuff set.  Since we're building osgeo I do:

$ cd  // cd to home

Source my osgeo setup file.  This sets OSSIM_HOME, OSSIM_PREFS_FILE and so on.  File contents at end:
$ . ossimrc-osgeo

$ cd /work/osgeo

// Make the directory(sandbox) for 3rd party dependencies:[[BR]]
$ mkdir local

First time through check out code.  Note I don't like to check out the whole trunk so I do pieces.

I always build geos, libtiff, geotiff, gdal from the latest.  You don't have to, it's up to you.  Most of these you can get from yum but I find the code is usually way behind.

NOTE: Things I build with cmake I use an "out of source" build so I put in a sub directory of the package.

// Get geos:
$ mkdir /work/osgeo/geos
$ cd !$ // last argument of last command
svn co http://svn.osgeo.org/geos/trunk geos-svn

// Get libtiff[[BR]]
$ cd /work/osgeo
$ cvs -d :pserver:cvsanon@cvs.maptools.org:/cvs/maptools/cvsroot co libtiff

// Get geotiff:[[BR]]
$ mkdir /work/osgeo/geotiff
$ cd !$
svn co http://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/geotiff/trunk/libgeotiff libgeotiff

// Get gdal:[[BR]]
$ cd /work/osgeo
svn co http://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/trunk/gdal

// Build geos:[[BR]]
$ cd /work/osgeo/geos[[BR]]
$ mkdir build // "out of source" build dir[[BR]]
$ cd build[[BR]]
// Make a cmake config script[[BR]]
$ xemacs geos-cmake-config.sh // Use whatever editor you want, gedit, whatever...[[BR]]
// Contents of script:[[BR]]

{{{

build_dir="/work/osgeo";
