The idea is to get a working version of greenstone3 up and running on mpdl, so we are aware of system-specific issues ...

1. Downloaded greenstone-3.03-src.tar.gz source code into /usr/local/src
2. locate found java here: /etc/alternatives/java_sdk_1.7.0. But it was just a symbolic link to: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-icedtea-1.7.0.0.x86_64/bin
3. Added JAVA_HOME to env variables. Edited root and my own env variables
4. yum installed ant 1.7.0-1jpp.2.fc8
5. Changed tomcat.server in build.properties to mpdl.mcs.csueastbay.edu
6. Changed tomcat.port in build.properties from 8080 to 50100
7. ant prepare install - kept returning and saying "prepare does not exist"
8. ant install returned: BUILD FAILED
   Target "get-macos-extra" does not exist in the project "greenstone3". It is used from target "install-macos-extra".
9. I commented out two references to install-macos-extra...since this isnt a mac
10. ant compile returned saying Could not find file /usr/local/apps/greenstone/src/packages/javagdbm/javagdbm.jar to copy and true enough, that file didnt exist.

Notes as of 04/07/08

Emailed greenstone-devel-list letting them know I couldn't find mgppretrievejni.so and mgppsearchjni.so in the distro but are needed for compiling Greenstone3

TODO tomorrow:

1. Try to finish Greenstone3 installation
2. Ask Hilary if I should install from a binary
3. Understand Greenstone3 as a servlet....how will the apache module interface with Greenstone3

04/09/08

greenstone-devel is definitely a great group. Got back four email responses.

I'm going to checkout the source code from svn and try compiling

1. checkout went ok
2. When i tried compiling the gli interface, com.sun.image.code.jpeg was missing
3. don't know how to add a package to an already installed java distro
4. java-icedTea was installed
5. went ahead and installed java ee and java sdk from the java.sun.com website
6. it was a .bin
7. to install a .bin, first, chmod +x filename
8. then, ./filename
9. libstdc++ was missing, yum installed it
10. libstdc++.so.5 was missing, yum installed it
11. when installing, after "Launching Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment...
12. I get a "Attach to native process failed" ...
13. This forum http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5226774&start=15&tstart=0 talks about the problems with installing java ww and java sdk. Someone else ran into the same problem I'm having when installing on fc8.
14. Had to install Java SE development kit 6
15. Then changed JAVA_HOME to point to where I installed it i.e /usr/lib/jdk1.6.0_05
16. Then I went to where I had the java_ee_sdk i.e /usr/local and did ./java* ....
17. Installer launched and i chose default...username is admin and password is ahat2004 for the java ee application....Here's what I got when I installed it in /opt/SDK
18. Installing Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5 SDK
    |-1%--------------25%-----------------50%-----------------75%--------------100%|
    
    Installation Successful.
    
    Next Steps:
    
    1. Access the About Java EE 5 SDK welcome page at:
    file:///opt/SDK/docs/about.html
    
    2. Start the Application Server by executing:
    /opt/SDK/bin/asadmin start-domain domain1
    
    3. Start the Admin Console:
    http://localhost:4848
19. Next step....try Greenstone again!
20. went to greenstone3/gli and ran ./makegli.sh
21. then ran ./makejar.sh
22. then went up one directory back to /usr/local/apps/greenstone3
23. and ran "ant prepare"....this did a lot of svn checkout....came back with BUILD SUCCESSFUL
24. ran "ant install"...returned with
25. [exec] text.pass1.cpp: In function âint done_text_1(const TagInfo? &, char*)â:
    [exec] text.pass1.cpp:375: error: cast from âdouble*â to âunsigned intâ loses precision
    [exec] text.pass1.cpp:375: error: cast from âdouble*â to âunsigned intâ loses precision
    [exec] text.pass1.cpp:381: error: cast from âdouble*â to âintâ loses precision
    [exec] text.pass1.cpp:381: error: cast from âdouble*â to âintâ loses precision
    [exec] make[2]: * [text.pass1.o] Error 1
    [exec] make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/apps/greenstone3/gs2build/indexers/mgpp/text'
    [exec] make[1]: * [all] Error 1
    [exec] make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/apps/greenstone3/gs2build/indexers/mgpp'
    [exec] make: * [all] Error 1
26. editing text.pass1.cpp...375:HTOND (host to network double) and 381:NTOHD(network to host double) keeps returning with error....talking to Katherine to try and get it fixed
27. Added -fpermissive to the gcc flags in gs2build/indexers/mgpp/text/Makefile, then did a make....changed the error messages to warning messages
28. /usr/local/apps/greenstone3/build.xml:1055: Warning: Could not find file /usr/local/apps/greenstone3/gs2build/indexers/lucene-gs/LuceneWrapper.jar to copy.
29. Went into the lucene-gs directory and did a make.....made LuceneWrapper? .jar Finally got it to install successfully!
    
    Workarounds:
    
    1) added -fpermissive to the Makefile that calls netorder.h...this way the error messages were changed to warnings....found out the cast was occurring in netorder.h...so I figured it was a safe cast
    
    2)LucenceWrapper.jar was not showing up...had to go to that directory and run "make" there...returned ok
    
    3)libmgppretrieve.so wasnt showing up in gs2build/indexers/mgpp/jni...
    .tried doing a make there but it failed with
    "/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/apps/greenstone3/gs2build/indexers/mgpp/../packages/unac/libunac.a(unac.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
    /usr/local/apps/greenstone3/gs2build/indexers/mgpp/../packages/unac/libunac.a: could not read symbols: Bad value"
    
    So, I went into /usr/local/apps/greenstone3/gs2build/indexers/mgpp/../packages/unac/
    I edited the Makefile there and added -fPIC as one of the flags to gcc, then I ran "make clean" and then "make"...and it came back ok
    
    4) Went back to gs2build/indexers/mgpp/jni. and ran make....came back ok
    
    5) then went into my main greenstone3 directory and ran "make install"....built successfully!
    Dealing with port conflict errors:

04/10/08

So greenstone comes up on

http://mpdl.mcs.csueastbay.edu:50100/greenstone3/

However, when I click on either the standard or classic links, It takes me to this site:

http://mpdl.mcs.csueastbay.edu:50100/greenstone3/library and I keep getting:

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/5.5.25 logs.

I think au/com/pharos/gdbm....doesnt get put into the right directory after being built from source...the .class files are in the source directory....bcos of this the servlet doesnt know where to find the class although the class exists and thus it returns a classnotdef error.....

Potential fix: copy the au directory into the util directory

check build file for org/greenstone/gsdl3/util

compare with build file for au/com/pharos/gdbm.....this one isnt creating a directory under build!

hmmm......
