All,
I'm making progress towards a working RPi for an igate but have struck a
snag compiling xastir.
I'm using the latest Debian Wheezy kernel -
2012-08-16-wheezy-raspbian.img - and have compiled libax25, ax25apps &
ax25tools. The stumbling block with xastir is dependency conflicts
between libgeotiff2-dev and both imagemagick and graphicsmagick. I can
have one or the other but not both. The conflict is well documented but,
thus far, I have not found a solution.
Given that the igate will be located in a position remote from the house
and will be headless I could ignore the problem but, I'd like to resolve
it for my own satisfaction and to help others. For that last reason I
have sent this enquiry here rather than directly to n1mjf who has
already had xastir working on the RPi. Perhaps n1mjf would like to dip
in and provide a bit of detail.
FWIW, what is working with the RPi so far, and it happily boots
reliably, is a 4 port usb/rs232 ftdi adaptor (thanks Jason) and a
tp-link tl-wn721n usb wifi adaptor. I'm using wicd to configure
networking. Just xastir left to sort <grin>
BTW(1), if contemplating a lot of development tools and such on the RPi,
use a minimum 8GB SD card. I filled the 4G I started with.
BTW(2), the Soundblaster usb that is supposed to work OOTB did work with
the RPi but locked the system on boot. There's a lot to be said for real
KISS TNCs for packet.
