Lee, We may have a problem... When I click on the directional arrows above the map, it also zooms out. The question is... is it Xastir... or... is it X? I need to do a CVS upsate on the other system to see where the problem may be. 73 Dave KB3EFS On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 1:31 PM, Lee Bengston lee.bengs...@gmail.com wrote: On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 9:17 AM, Jon K Hellan hel...@acm.org wrote: Here's how you can - usually - build a deb package of a more recent version of a program when there already is an official package.

Re: [Xastir] Deb package for Ubuntu 10.04
Are you using the .osm maps? If so, I'm not surprised. I'm working on fixes for a number of zooming and scaling problems with OSM maps. Try the .geo versions before reporting any problems. 73, ...jerry KA6HLD On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 6:51 PM, David Aitcheson david.aitche...@gmail.com wrote: Lee, We may have a problem...

Re: [Xastir] Deb package for Ubuntu 10.04
Righto then I can stop pulling out my hair with all these make errors then! ... I'd be most great full if I could grab a copy of your debian directory that you have built with so I can compare with the source that I got from a NMU who has (as of April) attempted to get 1.9.8 and sponsorship within Debian. Problem I was encountering is that because Debian Ubuntu have deviated so far apart, there is some complexities in package building as a result!

Re: [Xastir] Deb package for Ubuntu 10.04
Just a quick caution - I haven't tested installing the new binary package when the older one (1.94) is already installed. Just to be safe, I would back up any of your own maps as suggested in some of the HowTo's: mkdir /tmp/maps cp -r /usr/share/xastir/maps/* /tmp/maps Regards, Lee On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 12:14 AM, Lee Bengston lee.bengs...@gmail.com wrote: Continuing a discussion originally started on the thread with the subject Ubuntu 10.04 proj package, I have posted the deb package for Ubuntu 10.04 at the following link: www.175moonlight.com/xastir/xastir-lucid-i386-2010-06-22.deb I ended up re-doing it so that it would install in /usr instead of /usr/local, which matches the official Debian and Ubuntu packages. The result is that I am posting it much later than I had originally planned. The package is based on Xastir 1.99 pulled from CVS a few hours ago. I was able to install it in Ubuntu simply by double-clicking the .deb file from nautilus. In Kubuntu, it's probably a single click. It can also be installed from the command line via the following: dpkg -i ./xastir-lucid-i386-2010-06-22.deb Note: this package follows the convention of the older binary in the Ubuntu repository and depends on graphicsmagick as opposed to imagemagick and Lesstif as opposed to openMotif. I also plan to re-do the other .deb package I had built for Debian Lenny / Mepis 8.x so that it installs in /usr. I should be posting that in a day or 2.
