Re: [Xastir] Installing Xastir on Raspberry Pi Model 2B
Just as an aside, *IF* you use the actual Raspbian image (rather than NOOBS), there is a trick you can use to force a R-Pi to enable SSH on first boot for running headless. After you write the image to the SD card, the image's /boot partition will be available for you. If you simply create a file named "ssh" inside that /boot partition (no extension, just a file named "ssh"), when you first boot the Pi it will go ahead and turn on SSH, allowing you to log in - then you can permanently enable SSH using the raspi-config tool.

Re: [Xastir] Installing Xastir on Raspberry Pi Model 2B
TNC-Pi is basically the same circuits as the TNC-X - the major difference is that it takes it's power directly from the Pi's header pins, and uses the serial interface in the header pins. It can also be switched into an I2C mode allowing multiple TNC-Pi's to be stacked and connected to one Raspberry Pi - really nice for setting up a cross-band digi. I'd like to see a 9600 baud version of the TNC-Pi at some point - would be nice to play a little with 9600 on UHF here!

[Xastir] Bug Report - OSM PNG installation does not respect DESTDIR
Curt, et al - Tonite I was attempting to build latest stable version of Xasitr (2.0.0) into RPM form on my new Fedora 14 installation. When I build RPMS, I use the very nice program mock which allows building of a src.rpm file within a chrooted enviornment, to ensure your build system stays pristine. When I tried to do so, I found that there's at least one part of the generated Makefile that does not properly respect the DESTDIR variable. In the makefile target install-data-hook, the following code exists: install-data-hook: cd $(mapdir) \ rm -f CC_OpenStreetMap.png \ $(LN_S) CC_OpenStreetMap_logo.png CC_OpenStreetMap.png However, when building with DESTDIR, this code bails due to the fact that it really should end up being: cd $(DESTDIR)/$(mapdir) instead. Autoconf/Automake are not my strong point, so I have no clue how to properly fix this within that structure, but I thought it would be something you guys would want to know.

Unfortunately, since all the system libraries have no debug symbols in them, it's probably going to be hard to trace out where in the code the problem is. Curt might be able to make more sense of this than I can, and my limited knowledge of C debugging doesn't give me any other ideas of where to look. Looks like even the Xastir binary has been stripped of debugging symbols - Curt - does Xastir's make install strip the binary by default? If there's a flag to disable the stripping of the binary, you MIGHT be able to turn that off, and get some info of where in the code the buffer overflow occurs.
