[Xastir] Build issues
So, I'm back at it again... having problems with building Xastir on Cygwin. Running update-xastir, I see there's a problem with permissions in updating files Merging differences between 1.11 and 1.12 into update-xastir cvs [update aborted]: cannot rename file .new.update-xastir to update-xastir: Permission denied I have no idea what I've done, but ImageMagick has disappeared as well. checking for WriteImage in -lMagick... no configure: WARNING: *** Cannot find ImageMagick library files: Building w/o ImageMagick support. *** I went through the wiki instructions, downloaded the Cygwin Binary and installed it, modified configure, etc... still no go.

[Xastir] newbie question...
Hello all. I'm new to the list. I've used APRS for several years and have poked around some linux code, but I'm new to using Xastir. Q1: Is there a search engine for the archives? It's time consuming to try and drill through the archives month-by-month to research a question\issue. Q2: Has anyone come up with a tnc-st*.rig file for the Kenwood TS-2000? I've modified the tnc-st*.D700 using lines from a TS-2000 UI-View script, and I think its working but just wondered if one is available from Xastir users. Q3: I have incoming rf APRS packets listing in View-All incoming, but they aren't always being displayed on the map. And no stations but my own are listing in the Mobile stations list. Is there some default filter enabled that filters these out? I'm using Debian Etch and the Xastir pkg from the Debian distro.

The transmit strings are not all displayed, or rather, a representative string gets displayed, but it's in the format for an internet transmit. You won't see each transmit for each TNC interface. The received packets should be displayed there though, if the TNC(s) are sending them to Xastir. If there are errors in the packet as received then Xastir will never get them.

Just thought I could avoid a step in the process. You miught have better luck, though, converting ecw to geotiff. Geotiffs are properly georeferenced by xastir (approximately) and jpg+.geo file is only correct for rasters in lat/lon coordinates. You can do this with gdal_translate. If your images aren't in lat/lon coordinates (equidistant cylindrical projection) and you want xastir to georeference the file perfectly, use gdalwarp instead, and use a -t_srs EPSG:4236 option when converting to geotiff. If your ECW images are 24-bit color, you'll also have to convert to 8-bit for geotiff (because nobody's written the 24-bit geotiff code yet).

[Xastir] Newbee question re: Garmin Rino / Cygwin / Xastir and SAR
I apologize in advance for the dumb questions and know that this is probably covered somewhere, but I have been unable to find it. Could some one give me directions to a recipe, or give me a recipe, to get this working? From a laptop at a ground search incident command, I would like to track, and plot the tracks of, up to 20 GPS units on ground searchers. It seems from what I have read that the Garmin Rino units with Xastir GPSman will do this. I have downloaded Cygwin Xastir and can successfully run Xastir on my Windows XP laptop. I am NOT a programmer and have done this only by following a recipe in the help files. We have very spotty cellular telephone coverage in our corner of the woods and the law enforcement radio infrastructure is dated and overloaded. Therefore, I thought that Garmin Rinos within 5 miles of the search incident command would be a workable alternative. * Can anyone point me to a recipe for what to do next? Exactly what hooks how to what, what settings are used in what, how do I make it all work. * Can anyone confirm that this will work? I think some money is available to purchase the Rinos, but I have to be sure it is going to work. * Does the model of Garmin Rino figure into the distance that the searchers could be from the receiver / Laptop? Are Rino 110 okay for the searchers? Should a different unit be used at the laptop? * I am concerned about a single county in Wisconsin. What is the suggestion for the best source for a topo map of the county to use with this project? * There are not many funds and I think I can have but one trip to the well. What all should be considered? Must have, should have, nice to have, Lexus version.
