[Community] Installing PrimaGIS

[Josh Livni]

Vaishal,

Ever since Kai came out with his ridiculously handy buildkit installer 
for PrimaGIS, I've stuck w/Linux for all my PrimaGIS stuff.  And, as 
such, I gave up compiling PCL for Win32.  Never used Linux?  No problem 
- it's easier than they make it out to be.  Try it!  Of course maybe you 
have no choice.  Moving on...

I could be very wrong about this, but I _think_ there are currently no 
win32 binaries available for the latest PCL.

That said, I do have some binaries for use w/Python 2.4 - but I compiled 
them last August.  Thus, they may not work w/the latest PrimaGIS .6 
trunk - and unfortunately I am too busy this morning to think hard about 
it :)

I've put up everything you need to get last August's iteration of 
PrimaGIS/ZCO/PCL online at http://eactive.org - but this stuff was 
tested on Plone 2.1, so I have no idea if there will be issues w/Plone 
2.5. 

You could try updating PCL and seeing if it works with the current GDAL 
and other DLL's in there, but I am guessing it won't (I think the new 
PCL is compiled w/Mapserver 4.10.0 [which requires Visual Studio 7], 
whereas this version was MS 4.8.x, no?)

Anyway, this may, potentially, get you running with an older 
PCL/PrimaGIS version on Plone 2.5.  I think our best (or easiest) bet 
for the latest stuff on win32 is to bribe Hobu to include PCL in his MS 
buildkit.

Cheers,

  -Josh
