Installation notes for Openmoko Neo, eeePC and Desktop packages / tar balls.
Under Openmoko:
The installation is easy:
opkg update
opkg install gpsd
opkg install http://www.tangogps.org/downloads/tangogps_0.9.2-r1_armv4t.ipk
That's it!
On the Openmoko Freerunner (but not 1973) you have to edit /etc/default/gpsd and set GPS_DEV="/dev/ttySAC1". Furthermore you have to power the GPS up. It is off by default.
On the Neo1973 (but not Freerunner) for GPS use you need to have the gllin_1.0+r350-r0_fic-gta01.ipk
installed. Additionally I strongly suggest to use my improved version of the gllin script, which can be found here. Simply save as /home/root/gllin/gllin and set permissions with 'chmod 755 /home/root/gllin/gllin'. You can then start gllin and gpsd directly from the config tab of tangoGPS (again: only Neo 1973, not Freerunner ).
Desktop: Debian, Ubuntu, eeePC
Install the .deb package with:
dpkg -i tangogps-XXX.deb (XXX being the version number)
Additionally you need: gpsd, curl and sqlite3
In case you get an error message "libcurl.so.3 not found" install the curl package and if it still fails then do as root "ln -s /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4 /usr/lib/libcurl.so.3".
Desktop: SuSE, Fedora
Install the .rpm package with:
rpm -ivh tangogps-XXX.rpm
Additionally you need: gpsd, curl and sqlite3
In case you
get an error message "libcurl.so.3 not found" install the curl package
and if it still fails then do as root "ln -s /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4
/usr/lib/libcurl.so.3".
.
Compiling from source
./configure
make
make install (or run it straight from the src/ directory)
You need to have the -dev packages for compiling a gtk+ application. Configure will complain about any missing libs thus giving you hints as to what you need to install.
