Requirements
------------

The current version of the converter only runs on Windows. This is because
the ArcObjects JDK API is not running properly on Linux though.

To run the converter you need at least the following componentes:

 * Sun Java6 SDK to build, JRE to run
 * ArcGIS Desktop10.x or ArcEngine10.x with a valid licence enabled
 * UMN MapServer with Java MapScript-bindings (recent development-version)
 * Apache Webserver for displaying the resulting Mapfiles
 * Optional: MapServer compiled with ArcSDE-plugin
 * Optional: GDAL/OGR compiled with ArcSDE-support
 * Optional: GDAL/OGR compiled with FileGeodatabase-support

Installation
------------

Compile the converter-sources
-----------------------------

To compile the sources you need to have a properly configured
ant-environmet available. ArcGIS SDK provides an ant-installation which
suffices::

 ant jar

Install Apache Webserver
------------------------

Install Apache webserver by exedcuting the .msi-file and follow the
install-dialogs::

 httpd-2.2.19-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8r.msi

Make sure that you install apache as a service so it will be available
directly after system bootup.


Install UMN MapServer
---------------------

The current documentation uses the Windows binary-builds from http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/

1. Unzip the ZIP-file at c:/ms_6.1-dev

#. Configure Apache Webserver to find the cgi-bin-folder::

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/ms_6.1-dev/bin/"

    <Location "/cgi-bin">
        Options None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Location>

#. Copy mapserv.exe from c:/ms_6.1-dev/bin/apps/ms to c:/ms_6.1-dev/bin/
