Apps :: Desktop Icon Doesn't work.

For those who are interested here are my current build scripts for gpsdrive.  These are for the latest CVS versions of gpsdrive.  I assume they will still work for 2.09 but I haven't tried it.  Anyone interested should also visit the nice people at http://gpsdrive.cc and read all about the package and what it does.

This build process is still work in progress and currently the compile doesn't succeed and fails during the make process of Gpsdrive.  If you can figure out why I'm all ears.  I'm still working on it.

I have been running the scripts below on Knoppix (boot from cd) as I couldn't get all the build stuff to work on DSL.  I'm told they should be binary compatible and execute no problem when installed on DSL.  

As Knoppix runs from RAM disk I couldn't get it to run on a system with 256Mb of RAM.  But 512mb is ok.  It doesn't crash or give an error it just never completes.

You compile each package using build.sh (see below) or just run everything.sh (which calls build.sh many times) to build the lot.  It takes about one and a half hours on my little 800mhz beast.

Build.sh outputs a "0" at each successfull stage and something else if it fails.  The output from the compile process goes to .log files one for each package.  I also capture the configure --help output that shows all the different switches available that will come in handy when we try and cut down the size of this.

I haven't botherd to make the script exit on failure it just presses on so it is important to scroll back and see where the first problem occured.  You will need to change around the variables at the top of each file to suit your system depending on your file system and where you decide to put things along the way.

Don't forget each time you reboot you will need to stat the build from the begining as it is in memory it is all lost on shutdown.

There is a section in build.sh that removes many of the non esiental files like man pages etc and then it builds the .tar.gz file and places it on my usb key.  The whole lot when installed to DSL is contained in /opt/gpsdrive except for the Desktop Icon (I think). So I think it will qualify for one of those "green" ratings if it gets published on DSL's site.  

There are comments in the scripts but just ask if it isn't clear what they do.  I know my scripts are LAME and there are more efficient ways of doing this but when I started I had no idea how big they would become or how similar each of the different packages are.

These are the required packages.  They should be easy to find and download as they are all very popular things.
I think if you find newer versions they should work too.

atk-1.10.1.tar.gz
cairo-1.0.2.tar.gz
expat-1.95.8.tar.gz
fontconfig-2.3.2.tar.gz
freetype-2.1.10.tar.gz
gettext-0.14.5.tar.gz
glib-2.8.1.tar.gz
gtk+-2.8.3.tar.gz
pango-1.10.0.tar.gz
pkg-config-0.19.tar.gz
autoconf-2.59.tar.gz
automake-1.9.6.tar.gz

And

gpsdrive-2.10pre3.tar.gz

Use this copy of gpsdrive if you don't want to use CVS but they should be almost identical anyway on build.sh will download the latest CVS version when you run it anyway.

BTW the CVS download stops and waits for you to enter a password.  There is no password just press return.  I couldn't figure out how to send a CR automatically.
