I now have a build farm that is providing nightly builds of the development trees of both Xastir and aprx for both the Raspian distro for Raspberry Pi and the Debian Wheezy distribution of the Beaglebone Black.
The packages are available here: Raspi: http://www.aprs-alert.net/software/raspi/ BBB: http://www.aprs-alert.net/software/bbb Every day around 0600 UTC, the build machines pull the latest builds from SVN/CVS and compile them into packages, and automatically upload them to the web site. Note that it takes about an hour for Xastir to be compiled on the Raspi, so be patient if that¹s what you¹re looking for. For those of you curious/concerned: the source and build directories are NFS exported from my NAS here at the house, and mounted to the embedded computers. No SD cards or EMMC were harmed in the production of this software. Here is the config report for Xastir: =========================================== xastir 2.0.5 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 (libcurl) FOR THE ADVENTUROUS: AX25 (Linux Kernel I/O Drivers) ........ : yes libproj (USGS Topos & Aerial Photos) ... : yes GeoTiff (USGS Topos & Aerial Photos) ... : no Festival (Text-to-speech) .............. : no GDAL/OGR (Obtuse map formats) .......... : yes GPSMan/gpsmanshp (GPS downloads) ....... : yes xastir will be installed in /usr/bin. Note that Geotiff is a real bear to install, because of some crossed up dependencies in the upstream Debian libraries. I¹m working on putting together a set of packages for geotiff that fixes this problem, too. I hope to have them done in a week. If you have questions or problems with any of these builds, please post a message on the appropriate support list (Xastir or aprx). Please DON¹T do what I¹m doing right now, and cross post to all three lists simultaneously. It¹s bad etiquette, and people get cranky. :) Feel free to let me know directly if you have success with these packages or if there are others you¹d like to see.
