Update install_ossim.sh

[kalxas]

Moved a direct commit to another branch and opened a PR to discuss.

@epifanio the script must stop immediately if no arguments are passed, so this should not be removed from here...

[kalxas]

@epifanio I have already worked on this installer here:
kalxas@549b630
can you please add your changes based on that commit?

The build using the above commit throws this error:

@epifanio I merged your changes with mine in this last commit. Can you please review?
Thanks.

[kalxas]

OK, more merges based on @epifanio comments

[kalxas]

@epifanio seems like there is an error in package ossim-plugins. See the build log:

[johanvdw]

Is there a source package for ossim? We could just add it to launchpad.

[kalxas]

For ossim-core, the source package is already updated in nightly ppa.
For the ossim-plugins and ossim-qt, I think fpm was used, so no source packages.

[johanvdw]

Please share the package, preferably on the debian git repository. Note that you can rebuild the package to use the latest version liblas which was uploaded to the nightly ppa. Now you will be linking to an older version, and two versions will be installed.

[kalxas]

@epifanio can you please point us to the sources used for building the packages?
( I assume it is this one, at least this is the source I used to build ossim-core deb: http://download.osgeo.org/ossim/source/latest/ossim-1.8.18-1.tar.gz )
Also, can you please provide some details on which plugins/apps are built?
Hopefully we will find the time to build proper debian packages...

[epifanio]

Yes I used the same source. 1.8.18-1. Should I rebuild the ossim-plugins deb?

[kalxas]

In the latest build (150) the ossim applications seem to work fine when launched from desktop launchers, so I do not think we need a rebuild.
A weird issue is that the Geospatial menu launchers do not work.
It could be that -p argument in the launchers.....

[kalxas]

If there are no objections within 24h I will merge this PR.
Thanks.
