Hello all,
I've read through the "Parts List and Assembly" section of the HOWTO with a
noobie's mind. I've done the same, performed and verified the steps in the
"Create the Bootable SD" section. My pi boots and I have ssh access. I've
gotten all the way to the "Clockmaker" section. I did all that yesterday and
last night. I've made a good many notes. I can share them however you like. I'm
considering modding the asciidoc source for the HOWTO locally and then
providing a diff. We can talk about that later though.
This evening I was reading through the Clockmaker script closer. I noticed that
the prerequisite ncurses-dev is not a real debian package. I've read ahead in
the HOWTO text and I see that later the package ncurses5-dev is asked to be
installed.
I believe both of these to be incorrect. ncurses{,5}-dev are not real packages
in debian. ncurses-dev is provided by libncurses5-dev.
I have not performed these actions yet but I believe the gpsd build may fail.
The debian package gpsd-clients has a dependency on libncurses5. I've never
been a packager for a distro so I'm not sure, but I guess I could dig into that
package and see where the source is. I'm not sure if building gpsd from source
as directed in the HOWTO also builds the gpsd-clients. I guess I'll find out
when I actually do it. (I'm sure Eric knows on the top of his head ;-) )
Perhaps that will be tomorrow as it is getting late here in SC.
I do now see that I was incorrect in my last mail. I stated that the 8 sections
are not to be found. They are to be found. They are just a long way down there.
Please excuse my hastiness. I certainly mean no disrespect.
Regards,
Mike Major
