Hi Everyone,I have been working on getting Gpsdrive to compile and install on DSL for some time.
I have it almost working. I can start it from the command line no problem.I have created the fille /home/dsl/.xtdesktop/Gpsdrive.lnk
I'm not sure what the permissions are supposed to be for the files in this folder so I set them to rwxrxrx dsl staff (also tried chmod 777)
Here is the contents of Gpsdrive.lnk
The icon is displayed on the desktop no problem but double clicking doesn't do anything in particular.
Any Ideas?

table Icon Type: Program Caption: GpsDrive Command: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gpsdrive/lib /opt/gpsdrive/bin/gpsdirve Icon: /home/dsl/.xtdesktop/Gpsdrive.gif X: 218 Y: 82 end |

Practically nothing (except tmp directories) should be chmod'ed 777 unless you don't care about security at all. Typically, non-executable personal files are one of these: 644 (read-write by owner, read-only by everyone else), 664 (read-write by owner and group, read-only by everyone else), or 600 (read-write by owner, unreadable by everyone else). There are other combinations you can use, like 640 or 660, depending on the specific permissions you want. If it's a directory or executable, add 1 to each digit except zero (644 becomes 755, 600 becomes 700).The specifics:
first digit = file's owner
second = file's group
third = everyone else
0 = no permission
4 = read-only
5 = read and execute ('execute' = 'enter' for directories)
6 = read and write
7 = read, write and execute
Other numbers can be used but are not used because they are pointless...in order to execute a file you need to be able to read it, so making a file executable but not readable is useless.
Your icon looks fine to me (except for the 'gpsdirve' typo), but maybe xtdesk has trouble with the way the variable is set. One thing that might help is to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH from a wrapper script instead of the icon. Say you made a script called /opt/gpsdrive/start_gpsdrive (chmod 755) and put that script in the icon instead.
The script would just be something like this:
| Code Sample |
| #!/bin/bash LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gpsdrive/lib /opt/gpsdrive/bin/gpsdrive |
or
| Code Sample |
| #!/bin/bash export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gpsdrive/lib exec /opt/gpsdrive/bin/gpsdrive |
Doing it that way will also help from terminal, since you just have to run the script itself rather than setting the variable every time.
Another possibility....Is this an interactive application without a gui? If so you would need to start it in a terminal (aterm -e /opt/gpsdrive/start_gpsdrive)

Hi Mikshaw,Thanks for the lengthy reply. When I saw the typo I thought that was going to be it for sure. But it didn't fix it. I made a wrapper script as you sugested and tested it from the command line and it works from there but my icon still does the same thing. It flashes once the cpu goes to 3% and straight back to zero. This makes me think it is actually doing something. I'm wondering if it is generating an error message and sending it to the big bit bucket on the floor.
It is a gui application. It reads data from a gps and displays your location on a moving map on the screen. I think it will be nifty if I can sought out a few more glitches. (I'm just going through them one at a time
). I have dummied up a simulated GPS on another machine and I have it driving around my neighbourhood and GPS drive is following it around so I'm almost there.Once I get it to a stable state I'd like to post it on DSL somewhere to let some other people have a play with it. It is a .tar.gz and it writes everything to /opt/gpsdrive except for the icon stuff (I think). It is a little huge with the zip being around 30mb but with some help I think it can be trimmed a bit. I read some stuff on the wiki about asking for ftp access. Do you know who I should contact about that?
Thanks again for your help.

UPDATE.I just put some simple loging in my start.sh wrapper so that if put some output into a file.
When run from the desktop icon it doesn't even call it.
I get the feeling I'm missing something obvious.

I can't think what the problem might be. It works from the commandline, but the same command does not work from the icon. Does it work from the fluxbox menu?
Posted by Headly on Oct. 23 2005,06:51
I'm not sure what a fluxbox is. I'm assuming it is the right click on the desktop that brings up the menu. If so, I haven't created a menu item. As I plan to use this in my car with a touch screen I'm not sure if the menu will be accessible.In any case I think I might have figured it out. Using the "Hello World" principle of debuging I copied an existing .lnk file and created a shell script that just wrote to a log file and nothing else. One by one I changed things and tested it between every change.
Those little .lnk files are touchy little begers
One character out of place and nothing happens. I made one mistake along the way and I had it so that no icons would come up at all.
I haven't rebuilt the pachage yet to do a full end to end test but so far it is looking like it is going to work.
Thanks again for your help with this.

Fluxbox is the name of the Window manager (graphical interface) that DSL uses...it controls the position, size, and decoration of windows, toolbar and menu, and has that box of apps on the right side (the slit).Yes the icons are touchy little things. I've seen some stupid problems with them, but until now had never seen an error that would allow display of the icon but prevent its use.

Any updates on getting gpsDrive to work? Can you post the application, or at least the steps you took to get it to work properly.

I have got their last stable version 2.09 to work.I think it is about a year and a half old and lots of development work as gone into it since then. I'm currently working on compiling their latest CVS version but there are some more compile problems that I'm working on.
It came out faily big (28mb) as I had to include all the gtk+ stuff in the archive. Only because I don't know of a better way to do it.
I'm willing to make the version available for testing purposes so long as everyone knows it is a work in progress.
I'm not sure where / how to post this kind of thing here on the DSL site. Any suggestions.

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.
