OSSIM - Open Source Software Image Map

Introduction:

OSSIM, pronounced "awesome" is an open source project to
develop a state of the art set of libraries and tools for remote
sensing and geographic information systems.A test application,
OSSIM, is included in the distribution to showcase the
functionality of the libraries. For a complete list of OSSIM
functionality, point your Internet web browser to
http://www.ossim.org


Binary distributions and source packages are available from sourceforge at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5891

Getting the source code via cvs, this includes get external packages that
we need/like to have:

//---
// cd into some work directory.  I like to put all packages parallel to 
// each other.
//---

//---
// Get external packages we like to have.  If you have these installed already
// you just need to tell ossim where they're at...
//---

// Login to maptools cvs pserver
cvs -d :pserver:cvsanon@cvs.maptools.org:/cvs/maptools/cvsroot login
password:  <hit return for password>

// Get libtiff
cvs -d :pserver:cvsanon@cvs.maptools.org:/cvs/maptools/cvsroot co libtiff

// Get geotiff
cvs -d :pserver:cvsanon@cvs.maptools.org:/cvs/maptools/cvsroot co geotiff

// Get gdal

// Logout of cvs pserver
cvs -d :pserver:cvsanon@cvs.maptools.org:/cvs/maptools/cvsroot logout

// Login to ossim's cvs pserver
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.flids.com:/cvs login

// Building on unix like machines, linux, sunos and so on.
// Note my workspace directory is "/work/drb".  You should change that out
// to be yours...

//---
// Build libtiff:
// Note that ossim requires "libtiff", won't build without it.  Most systems
// have libtiff installed.  If you need to build it follow directions 
// below.
// 
// Official website at:  
// http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff
// 
// LIBTIFF Notes:
// My libtiff is in "/work/drb/libiff".  The --prefix will tell it to install
// there rather than user local.
//---
cd /work/drb/libtiff
cvs -z 3 update -d -P
./configure --prefix=/work/drb/libtiff
make
make install

//---
// Build geotiff:
// Note that ossim does not require geotiff; however, it is nice to have.
// Without it none of you geotiffs will be placed on the ground correctly.
