ARPS userland apps

ARPS userland apps

[Kim, VK5FJ]

Morning all,

I started tinkering with xastir over the weekend. Ended up using 
direwolf to do the soundcard/tnc thing. Using the laptop internal mic 
didn't exactly work well,

I was a more than a little surprise that xastir needs a motif library to 
build against. Likewise X-APRS looks like it was last updated in 1999.

Are the other active Linux text or gui clients that are a tad more 
recent than xastir?

regards,

Kim

Quite a long time ago I started hacking on aprsmap:

https://github.com/gordonjcp/aprsmap

but at the moment I need to spend most of my time doing Real Work. 
Please feel free to submit patches or even just helpful suggestions.

Ok, I had a quick look and couldn't get it passed the
  waf configure.

Its failing on the dependencies;
   Checking for 'osmgpsmap' >= 0.7.2        : not found

Even though its installed, perhaps things have been renamed in 2.0.x ?

/usr/include/osmgpsmap/osm-gps-map-compat.h
/usr/include/osmgpsmap/osm-gps-map-image.h
/usr/include/osmgpsmap/osm-gps-map-layer.h
/usr/include/osmgpsmap/osm-gps-map-osd.h
/usr/include/osmgpsmap/osm-gps-map-point.h
/usr/include/osmgpsmap/osm-gps-map-source.h
/usr/include/osmgpsmap/osm-gps-map-track.h
/usr/include/osmgpsmap/osm-gps-map-widget.h
/usr/include/osmgpsmap/osm-gps-map.h
/usr/lib/libosmgpsmap.a
/usr/lib/libosmgpsmap.la
/usr/lib/libosmgpsmap.so
/usr/lib/libosmgpsmap.so.2
/usr/lib/libosmgpsmap.so.2.0.1

I'll have another look at it at home...

If you're on Ubuntu (and possibly Debian) this is because libosmgpsmap 
is broken, and misses the dependency on libsoup2.4-dev

You'll also likely need to install libfap manually.

yeah, that makes more sense. i'll have a crack at that shortly.

Just to give you an example, here's a screenshot showing the path of the 
Olympic Torch across Northern Ireland today:

There's a bit of "splatter" in the top right where it has become clear 
that aprsmap doesn't deal with out-of-sequence APRS packets well ;-)

Just curious - why Dire Wolf instead of soundmodem?

Mostly because it was recommended by others.
Finding up to date doco is the other factor.
