Re: [Xastir] map problem on MEPIS
OK, just did a few checks and see that the automake1.9 is not
specifically required anymore. The basic automake should be fine. To be
truthful it was left over from a previous instruction set that I had, an
earlier version of Mepis seemed to want to install a less that the
latest version of Automake and it was know to cause problems. So I had
it down to use v1.9. The get-maptools.sh script will take care of the
Geotiff capability. However when I just tried to run it for my new test
install the GDAL section errored out. So the script itself seems to
have a problem for that one program.

Dan Brown did a good job writing it back in 2006, and it helped a lot of people. It was a boon back when few systems had proj, geotiff, pcre, and shapelib, but now most systems do, and the packages can (and should, in most cases) be installed from repositories instead of from source. And GDAL support is mostly a waste of time in Xastir --- I wouldn't recommend that any user install it unless they actually need it for something else (like I do). It is a great library, but Xastir's use of it is pretty much not worth the trouble. Building libgeotiff is almost a no-brainer: wget http://dl.maptools.org/dl/geotiff/libgeotiff/libgeotiff-1.2.3.tar.gz tar xzf libgeotiff-1.2.3.tar.gz cd libgeotiff-1.2.3 ./configure --with-ld-shared=gcc -shared make sudo make install That's all that get-maptools does. The with-ld-shared thing is necessary for all 1.2.x versions of libgeotiff, because those versions incorrectly used ld -shared which broke with modern versions of gcc. You can just build libgeotiff with those 6 commands, then just reconfigure and rebuild Xastir. Adding geotiff support once you've got all the other stuff working takes only a few minutes. -- Tom RussoKM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM In some cultures what I do would be considered normal. -- Ineffective daily affirmation ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir

My suggestions for the MEPIS instructions on the web would be to
resolve which automake should be used (there were several versions
available). Apparently something more needs to be done for festival,
which may be obvious, but I've never even heard of festival, so it
will require a little detective work. It seems like the bleeding edge
version is recommended over STABLE. Why wouldn't STABLE be
recommended for the masses?
In conclusion -- Great Job guys Thanks so much!

Curt,
I am very interested in getting this working, and your time is much
appreciated. I have to go take care of some business now and will get
back to this later this evening. If it appears most useful for me to
learn how to compile xastir, my work is cut out for me. I can probably
get some help from the MEPIS forum, but is there a latest-and-greatest
cookbook howto on compiling xastir?
http://www.xastir.org/wiki/HowTo:MEPIS_8.0
There is now. I like Mepis and have intended to do this for a long
time. Being Debian based, the procedure is very similar to the one
for Ubuntu. I did a clean install of Mepis 8.0.15 last weekend, and I
hadn't installed Xastir yet, so the timing was good.

Re: [Xastir] map problem on MEPIS
Tom, Thanks for the help. I just did the following: 1) renamed the ~/src/xastir to ~/src/xasterSTABLE 2) mkdir ~/src/xaster 3) built libmotif-1.2.5 4) ran the following to prepare for xastir - cd ~/src cvs -d:pserver:anonym...@xastir.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xastir login cvs -d:pserver:anonym...@xastir.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xastir co xastir cd xastir ./bootstrap.sh 5) installed xastir, bleeding edge 6) got the following results - xastir 1.9.9 has been configured to use the following options and external libraries: MINIMUM OPTIONS: ShapeLib (Vector maps) . : yes RECOMMENDED OPTIONS: GraphicsMagick/ImageMagick (Raster maps) : yes (GraphicsMagick) pcre (Shapefile customization) . : yes dbfawk (Shapefile customization) ... : yes rtree indexing (Shapefile speedups) : yes map caching (Raster map speedups) .. : yes internet map retrieval . : yes (wget) FOR THE ADVENTUROUS: AX25 (Linux Kernel I/O Drivers) : yes libproj (USGS Topos Aerial Photos) ... : yes GeoTiff (USGS Topos Aerial Photos) ... : yes Festival (Text-to-speech) .. : yes GDAL/OGR (Obtuse map formats) .. : no GPSMan/gpsmanshp (GPS downloads) ... : yes xastir will be installed in /usr/local/bin.

Building libgeotiff is almost a no-brainer: wget http://dl.maptools.org/dl/geotiff/libgeotiff/libgeotiff-1.2.3.tar.gz tar xzf libgeotiff-1.2.3.tar.gz cd libgeotiff-1.2.3 ./configure --with-ld-shared=gcc -shared make sudo make install That's all that get-maptools does. The with-ld-shared thing is necessary for all 1.2.x versions of libgeotiff, because those versions incorrectly used ld -shared which broke with modern versions of gcc. You can just build libgeotiff with those 6 commands, then just reconfigure and rebuild Xastir. Adding geotiff support once you've got all the other stuff working takes only a few minutes. ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir

On Sat, Feb 06, 2010 at 10:00:35PM -0500, we recorded a bogon-computron collision of the k...@cox.net flavor, containing: Note that I didn't do anything about having automake1.9 installed versus automake. Should I do something about that? Is it as easy as removing one and installing the other? My assumption is that the right version needs to be there when xastir is compiled. Automake is only used when you do the ./bootstrap step. As long as the version is recent enough, it's fine. Automake is used to generate the Makefile.in files from Makefile.am. If you get to the point where you can build xastir, your version of automake works. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I think the whole automake1.9 thing was because when the instructions were initially written, the default automake was old enough that it didn't work. If yours is working fine, it's probably 1.9 or later (the recent version of automake is 1.10.x, I think, and you can check what is installed on your system with automake --version). -- Tom RussoKM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM In some cultures what I do would be considered normal. -- Ineffective daily affirmation ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir

Lee created a new Wiki page for MEPIS yesterday. Here's what Lee said: I really didn't want to merge in a procedure that used the get-maptools script. Although it probably still works, it installs some things from source that are readily available from the Debian repo's, and the few things that are still recommended to be installed from source are newer versions that are already documented in the Wiki page. I think Tom pretty much explained it in the other thread in more detail.

I did give it quick once over, but all spelling and grammar errors are included free of charge. (Revision 2 - fixed 2 typos and added a couple of notes) Gale KC4PL I am writing this as if you have just finished installing Mepis (V8.x) and now want to do a full compile and install of Xastir. 1. Start the Synaptic Package Manager (you will be required to enter your root password) 2. Click on Reload to update the package lists Note: If this is a fresh install I would recommend clicking on Mark All Upgrades and Apply to get all the security patches and other upgrades for your system. 3. Mark the following files for install: Note that is some cases you will only select a dev package, the system will then auto select the base package for you. You can scroll through the list looking for the packages or just use the Search box. a. libmotif-dev (will auto mark for install libmotif3) b. graphicsmagick-libmagick-dev-com c. xorg-dev d. x11proto-print-dev e. libshp-dev (will auto mark for install libshp1) f. cvs e. build-essential f. autoconf g. automake1.9 4. Click on apply to install the packages. 5. After the packages have finished installing, exit Synaptic. 6. Open a Terminal Window for the following steps. 7. Using nano (or your preferred editor) make a .cvsrc file with the following lines: (Note the . in front of the file name) cvs -z3 update -P -d status -v diff -u 7. enter the following commands on the command line: touch .cvspass (again note the . in the file name) mkdir src cd src 8. Now we will get the latest source code from the cvs repository 9. type the following in on the command line and when it asks your for a password, just tap enter. cvs -d:pserver:anonym...@xastir.cvs.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/xastir login 10. type in the following to actually download the code cvs -d:pserver:anonym...@xastir.cvs.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/xastir co xastir 11. When it finishes, type in cd xastir on the command line to change to the new directory. (This changes to ~/src/xastir) 12. type in cd scripts on the command line (This changes to ~/src/xastir/scripts) 12. type in su on the command line, enter the root password when asked for it. 13. type in ./get-maptools.sh on the command line 14. when the above has finished, type in exit on the command line to exit from su. 15. type in cd .. to return to the xastir directory. 16. now we start the compile and install of Xastir. 17. type in ./bootstrap.sh on the command line 18. when this finishes, type in ./configure on the command line 19. when this finishes, type in make on the command line 20. when make finishes, we are ready for the final install. 21. type in su on the command line, enter the root password when it asks for it. 22. type in make install-strip on the command line 22. when make install finishes, type in chmod 4555 /usr/local/bin/xastir on the command line 23. type in exit on the command line to exit su 24. Xastir is now installed and ready for its first run. 25 type in xastir on the command line to start the program After you have set up the Xastir configuration you now have a basic install of Xastir that can be updated at any time by going to the xastir directory and typing in cvs update. Then you would just repeat steps 18 to 23. I recommend doing the following for a quick and dirty install in Mepis 8, which is a modified version of the steps above: Install the packages below either via the Synaptic package manager or or apt-get install in a terminal window. 1. build-essential 2. cvs 3. automake (autoconf is auto-installed as a dependency) 4. xorg-dev 5. libmotif-dev 6. graphicsmagick (may find this already installed) 7. gv 8. libxp-dev (x11proto-print-dev is installed as a dependency) 9. libpcre3-dev 10. libdb4.6-dev 11. libgraphicsmagick1-dev The above will provide the essentials plus raster map support via graphicsmagick. Given shapelib is already provided internally, shapfiles will also be supported. Note: if you used apt-get install, make sure to type exit in the terminal to get out of root mode before continuing on with the steps below that are done with a terminal. 12. If not already open, open a terminal window for the following steps. (a terminal window opens automatically in your home directory, which is where you want to be) 13. Using nano (or your preferred editor) make a .cvsrc file with the following lines: (Note the . in front of the file name) cvs -z3 update -P -d status -v diff -u 14. Control-O saves the file, and Control-X exits if nano is the editor 15. Enter the following commands on the command line: touch .cvspass (again note the . in the file name) mkdir src cd src 16. Now get the latest source
