[talk-au] gpsdrive and linux

[Ross Scanlon]

A request for John and Liz or any one else who may be interested.

I have totally rebuilt the deb packages for gpsdrive now and would be interested in your thoughts.

The new svn package can be downloaded from here:

http://www.4x4falcon.com/gpsdrive/debian/

You will need to download:


gpsdrive_2.10svn2452_i386.deb

openstreetmap-map-icons_16414_all.deb

openstreetmap-map-icons-square.small-minimal_16414_all.deb


to try it out and then use dpkg -i as root to install these three ie

dpkg -i openstreetmap-map-icons_16414_all.deb \
        openstreetmap-map-icons-square.small-minimal_16414_all.deb \
        gpsdrive_2.10svn2452_i386.deb

You may see that you need to install some other libraries, libmapnik and libboost-*

If you do

apt-get install libmapnik0.5

this should install the other libboost-* dependencies.

Don't use mapnik 0.6 it currently does not work with gpsdrive.

I would set up a repo for it but I have not had time to sort that out yet.

Anyway TIA
