Thuban - a Geographic Data Viewer
=================================
$Date: 2007-03-13 22:21:51 +0000 (Di, 13 Mär 2007) $
$Revision: 2736 $
Thuban is an interactive viewer for geographic data.
Python and the wxWidgets framework ensure great portability.
Thuban is Free Software and runs on GNU/Linux, Windows
and several other operating systems.
Homepage: https://thuban.intevation.org
Development infrastructure: https://wald.intevation.org/projects/thuban/
About the Name
--------------
Thuban is the name of a star in the constellation Draco (The Dragon).
About 4000 years ago it was the north star.
Requirements
------------
Thuban requires the following software to be installed:
Python 2.2.1 http://www.python.org
wxWidgets 2.6.3.2 http://www.wxwidgets.org (formerly known as wxWindows)
wxPython 2.6.3.2 http://www.wxpython.org
proj 4.4.5 http://www.remotesensing.org/proj/
SQLite 2.8.3 http://sqlite.org/
PySQLite 1.0.1 http://pysqlite.org/
The versions given are the lowest versions that are known to work. for
proj, sqlite and pysqlite somewhat older versions probably work as well.
Note that the wxPython version must be the same as the wxWidgets version
(Some wxPython binary packages already contain the right wxWidgets version)
Optional software:
GDAL 1.3.2 http://www.remotesensing.org/gdal/
for raster image (geo-tiff) support
psycopg 1.0.x http://initd.org/software/psycopg
for postgis connections. Newer version probably also work
RXP 1.2.x http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/~richard/rxp.html
usually comes directly with pyRXP.
pyRXP 0.9 http://www.reportlab.org/pyrxp.html
only for the automatic tests to validate Thuban's XML files.
Installation
------------
Building Thuban (this compiles the extension modules but leaves them in
a directory under build/):
python setup.py build
To setup Thuban to run directly from the source directory:
python setup.py install_local
You can run this without running build first.
To install Thuban:
python setup.py install
for general information about the command line options of the setup.py
script, run
python setup.py --help
If you build from SVN and want to have translated menus, dialogs etc.
you have to build the message catalogs manually before you run setup.py.
See po/README for more information.
Build Troubleshooting
---------------------
When building Thuban, you might have problems because of a missing file
wx/wxPython/wxPython.h. This file is part of wxPython and may be
packaged in a separate package. Unfortunately, on some systems this
file is not packaged at all. On those systems you can try a work-around
built into Thuban, by passing the --use-wx-python-swig-hack to the
build_ext command. This can be done on the command line for the build
command like this:
python setup.py build_ext --use-wx-python-swig-hack build
You can also use it with the install_local command:
python setup.py build_ext --use-wx-python-swig-hack install_local
Note, that this work-around relies on some wxPython internals and may
cease to work at some point. We tested it with wxPython 2.6.
License
-------
Thuban is licensed under the terms of the
GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later.
However, some of the extension modules in the extension subdirectory are
licensed under other Free Software licenses.
See the respective README files for details.
