We just got rid of the dependency on "/usr/bin/finger" in Xastir, replacing it with our own internal TCP code. Fetching the full NOAA weather alert text should always work now on all platforms including LSB. Double-click on an alert in the View->Weather Alerts dialog to see the full NOAA text. We should have a note regarding this displayed somewhere on that dialog.
I've enabled the Festival client code in the LSB binary. Once you install Festival on your system and start it in server mode, LSB-Xastir should find it. Snapshots work now too under LSB. Here's what LSB-Xastir currently contains: xastir 1.8.5 has been configured to use the following options and external libraries: Building with AX25 ................................. : no Building with Festival ............................. : yes Building with GPSMan ............................... : no Building with GraphicsMagick ....................... : yes Building with libproj .............................. : yes Building with GeoTiff .............................. : yes Building with GDAL/OGR ............................. : no Building with ShapeLib ............................. : yes (internal) Building with pcre ................................. : yes Building with dbfawk ............................... : yes Building with map caching .......................... : yes ---------------------------------------------------------- Building with ErrorPopups (Old Method) ............. : no Building with libgc (Debug) ........................ : no Building with profiling (Debug) .................... : no Building with rtree indexing (Experimental) ........ : yes Building with Linux Standard Base .................. : yes The things we _don't_ have working yet under LSB are: Printing (needs "lsb-gv" which needs "lsb-libXaw3d" which needs "lsb-libXmu"...) AX.25 (depends on kernel version, can't implement within LSB) GPSMan. Needs "lsb-Tcl/Tk" + "lsb-gpsmanshp". Change to "gpsbabel" instead? GDAL (Still working on this) Note that we also have some dependencies on external binaries here and there, but in each case they are specified as "must be present" in the LSB spec. This doesn't mean they have to be present in the path on non-Linux systems (or even non-LSB-compliant Linux systems), so it'd be great to get rid of these dependencies at some point as well. -- Curt, WE7U.
