[Buildroot] gpsd not included in build

[Buildroot] gpsd not included in build

[bruce bushby]

Hi

I hope I'm not being really thick here....but I can't seem to get "gpsd" to
be included in my build.

I'm trying with "buildroot-2011.02" and "daily snapshot" on both ubuntu and
Fedora but for some reason, the "make" doesn't download or compile gpsd.

I checked package/Config.in ... looks ok
I added GPSD_SOURCE to: package/gpsd/gpsd.mk

I manually downloaded the package into /opt/buildroot/dl

I tried unticking it, re-running make (without a make clean) and then
selecting it and running "make"....but it appears to ignore it.

it's definitely in my config file:
[root at core buildroot]# grep -i gps .config | grep -v "^#"
BR2_PACKAGE_GPSD=y
BR2_PACKAGE_GPSD_DEVICES="/dev/ttyS4"
BR2_PACKAGE_GPSD_RECONFIGURE=y
BR2_PACKAGE_GPSD_CONTROLSEND=y
BR2_PACKAGE_GPSD_NMEA=y
BR2_PACKAGE_GPSD_SIRF=y
[root at core buildroot]#


Any tricks I'm missing? .... I've added my own packages and they're pulled
in and compiled hence my confusion :)

works fine here:

$ grep GPSD=y ../outputs/gpsd/.config
BR2_PACKAGE_GPSD=y

$ ls -l ../outputs/gpsd/target/usr/sbin/gpsd 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 test test 29696 Mar  9 07:47 ../outputs/gpsd/target/usr/sbin/gpsd

Not needed, there is a default value of "<pkgname>-<pkgversion>.tar.gz".

Not needed, the gpsd package download works.

Remember that removing a package in Buildroot doesn't do anything if
you don't restart the build from scratch.

Could you start a completely fresh build, with gpsd enabled, and post
the full build log somewhere, as well as the output of"find
output/target" ?

Another note: in your other post concerning Python and readline, I saw
that you use Buildroot as the root user. Don't do that. Use Buildroot
as a regular user.

Regards,

Thomas

Thanks Thomas!!!

Appears it's something to do with my build setup.....gpsd does indeed build.

"..building as root.."  pure laziness , I use virtual machines for building
and don't care if they get trashed...but it's good advice, I'll switch to a
user for future builds.

[Buildroot] gpsd not included in build

[Guillaume Dargaud]

While on the subject of gpsd, I'm impressed by the long list of protocols supported, but I don't see the protocol used 
by the Motorla M12+. They call those 'binary commands' for lack of a better name. Is this supported under another name ?
Thanks
