Building Mapguide on Ubuntu 7.04 Server

Below are instructions that will aid a user with installing Mapguide Open Source v1.2 on Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) Server. The assistance of Jo Cook was greatly appreciated. I tried installing it on the desktop version of Ubuntu however I was unsuccessful.
Note : this guide is also relevant for an installation on Debian Etch.
BASIC SETUP
Install a basic Ubuntu Server 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) (the rest of this guide assumes that you are not running as the root user)
The default directory will be /home/administrator. If this is not the case, change your path to /home/administrator
Install the following in Terminal:
sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential gcc g++ bison flex automake1.9 libjpeg62-dev libtool zlib1g zlib1g-dev libxml2-dev make libxalan110 libxalan110-dev
FDO INSTALL
In terminal type the following:
wget http://svn.osgeo.org/fdocore/branches/3.2.x/checkoutsvn.sh
Using 'nano', edit checkoutsvn.sh with the following:
nano checkoutsvn.sh
FDO_SVN_USERNAME=guest
FDO_SVN_PASSWORD=guest
FDO_SVN_SOURCEDIR=branches/3.2.x
Save your edits and exit checkoutsvn.sh
In terminal type the following:
mkdir fdosvn
cd fdosvn
bash /home/administrator/checkoutsvn.sh 
Permanently accept the certificate and cancel checkouts with ctrl c
In terminal type the following:
cd /home/administrator/.subversion
nano config
Edit config with the following:
(in the Miscellany section)
Use-commit-times=yes
Enable-auto-props=yes
(in the Auto-Props section)
 *.*=svn:eol-style=native
 *.sh=svn:executable
Save and close the config file.
In Terminal (from /home/administrator):
Rm -rf fdosvn/*
rm –rf fdosvn/.svn
cd /home/administrator/fdosvn
bash /home/administrator/checkoutsvn.sh
 
cd /usr/local
sudo mkdir fdo-3.2.0
sudo mkdir fdo-3.2.2
sudo chown administrator fdo-3.2.0
sudo chown administrator fdo-3.2.2
cd /home/administrator/fdosvn
source ./setenvironment.sh
To avoid the bad fd number errors completely, type the following in the terminal:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
and choose No at the prompt
In terminal, type the following:
nohup ./build_thirdparty.sh
nohup ./build_linux.sh 
APACHE / PHP INSTALL
In Terminal type the following:
cd .. (you should now be in /home/administrator)
mkdir mgdev
cd mgdev
svn co http://svn.osgeo.org/mapguide/branches/1.2.x
In Terminal, install the following:
sudo apt-get install libcurl3 libcurl3-dev libxslt1.1 libxslt1-dev expat
In Terminal:
mkdir /usr/local/mapguideopensource
sudo chown administrator /usr/local/mapguideopensource (replace administrator with your user if necessary)
Edit the following file /etc/apt/sources.list to include the multiverse
nano sources.list
In Terminal, install the following:
sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk (accept the license)
In Terminal type the following:
(be sure to change the version of java to the one you download (i.e., 1.5.0.11, 1.5.0.12, etc.))
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.11
cd /home/administrator/MgDev/1.2.x/MgDev/Oem/LinuxApt
find . –name “*.gz” –exec tar zxf {} “;”
./build_apt.sh
BUILD OEM
In Terminal, install the following:
sudo apt-get install automake1.7 libasound2-Dev
In Terminal:
cd /home/administrator/MgDev/1.2.x/MgDev
pushd Oem/CppUnit-1.9.14
rm aclocal.m4
popd
./build_oem.sh
If build_oem.sh fails at the DWF toolkit component and complains about AM_PROG_LIBTOOL not found, install libtool:
sudo apt-get install libtool
and re-run build_oem.sh reference
BUILD MAPGUIDE
In Terminal, install the following:
sudo apt-get install libexpat1 libexpat1-dev doxygen
In Terminal:
sudo chown administrator /usr/lib/python2.4
sudo chown administrator /usr/lib/python2.5
aclocal
libtoolize --force
automake --add-missing --copy
autoconf
./configure --enable-optimized --without-python
make
make install
To activate webstudio, you have to copy the files to the webserverextension folder as follows:
cp -R /home/administrator/mgdev/1.2.x/MgDev/Web/src/webstudio “SPACE” /usr/local/mapguideopensource/webserverextensions/www/webstudio
The above command should be all one line, with a 'space' between webstudio and /usr
Reboot the server
To start Mapguide on the server:
cd /usr/local/mapguideopensource/webserverextensions/apache2/bin/
./httpd 
cd /usr/local/mapguideopensource/server/bin 
./mgserver.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 
Enjoy!
