I tried to build the GetStatus? service from the workshop tutorials on my Ubuntu 64-bit system and got an error:

/usr/bin/ld: ../../../zoo-kernel/service_internal.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC ../../../zoo-kernel/service_internal.o: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: * [cgi-env/wps_status.zo] Error 1

I think I fixed it by adding the "-shared -fPIC" arguments to the makefile for the zoo_loader.cgi in the service_internal.o section like this: service_internal.o: service_internal.c service.h

gcc ${JS_ENABLED} ${JSCFLAGS} ${XML2CFLAGS} ${CFLAGS} -shared -fPIC -c service_internal.c

I'm having a problem getting rev 43 compiled on Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit) I'm using the standard g++ (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) 4.4.3 that comes with the distro.

I try to compile with python support like this: ./configure --with-python --without-java and ./configure completes successfully. make zoo_loader.cgi fails with make: * [service_internal_python.o] Error 1

I'm getting a bunch of warnings, of which this one seems important: cc1plus: warning: command line option "-Wstrict-prototypes" is valid for Ada/C/ObjC but not for C++

And I'm getting one error: service_internal_python.c:204: error: ‘size’ was not declared in this scope

I'm not a C programmer, but it does look like something is missing there: PyDictObject?* PyDict_FromMap(map* t){

PyObject?* res=PyDict_New( ); map* tmp=t; while(tmp!=NULL){

if(strcasecmp(tmp->name,"value")==0){

map* ttmp=getMap(t,size); if(ttmp!=NULL)

...

Not sure if that's the reason I can't build zoo-kernel?

cheers, Niels

While implementing the GRASS GIS ZOO WPS connection i noticed that min- and maxOccurs information are missing in the inputs map which are passed to the python service function. Because of that the ZOOGrassModuleStarter must execute the GRASS GIS module which should be called to gather this information before the processing can go on, this makes the processing a bit slow (XML generation and interpretation).

It would be great if the min- and maxOccures are available in the inputs map. This will also reduce the need of PyXB for the ZOOGrassModuleStarter.

This ticked is related to svn trunk revision #42.
