TinyOWS Installation

Requires

TinyOWS need following libraries/applications:

  • LibXML2 (2.8 version or later)

  • PostGIS (1.5.x version or later)

  • PostgreSQL (with libpq headers)

  • A working Web Server with cgi-bin support

  • Fast-CGI is recommended

Installing from a stable source release

An example of a typical download, configure, make, make install:

$ wget https://download.osgeo.org/mapserver/tinyows-1.2.0.tar.gz
$ tar xzvf tinyows-1.2.0.tar.gz
$ cd tinyows-1.2.0
$ autoconf
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo make install-demo

Then copy the tinyows binary to your cgi-bin directory.

Installing the Current Trunk from GIT

To build from GitHub, you must first install the autoconf utility, and git application .

$ git clone git://github.com/mapserver/tinyows.git
$ cd tinyows
$ autoconf
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo make install-demo

Then copy the tinyows binary to your cgi-bin directory.

Installing from source on Windows (oldies so dunno if still up to date)
