Re: [Xastir-dev] Topic: Supported Platforms, Xastir-NG
FWIW, When we started a recent project, (not so recent anymore), we needed to use Irish Mapping information. With much help from Tom and Gerry, I was able to convert them into something xastir could use. However, the results were pretty poor, so we (Kristian) ended up doing a GUI from scratch in C++. It builds and runs quite happily on Linux and OSX (We didn't try Leopard actually). I remember at the time having a discussion with him at the time, what would, in his opinion, be a good way to take an xastir2 implementation (His knowledge wouldn't go as far as the GIS databases, but he did wrestle with co-ordinate conversion and storage), I'll pose it to him again. Like others have said, I think its the non ANSI STL libraries will bite you. Also, when I made an attempt to add IPv6 support to xastir, I was only able to get so far, as I would have had to change some internal structures that I wasn't comfortable with changing in order to get the final bit working. As it was I did a quick hack to bypass that code, and had a 'proof' of concept in operation. Id be happy to try again with that. Also I'll find out what parts of our project would be suitable for re-use if any.

Re: [Xastir] GPS question, off topic.
Evening, What would the GPS be used for? APRS Tracking? Farming? Farming actually. The Phoenix GPS claims sub-meter accuracy. Barring marketing lies, this is not possible with only WAAS. WAAS would likely get you to 3 meter accuracy at best (Gerry N5JXS certainly knows more about this). Ok thats what I was reckoning. The eDif feature mentioned for th Phoenix appears to attempt to model ionosphere delays by analyzing multiple satellite signals over time. Normally ionospheric delay (signal bending) correction is done using a 2nd GPS frequency, on which the actual data is encrypted, but the clock information can be extracted. This 2nd frequency is what is normally referred to as Military grade GPS. The eDif claims to be able to get the same type of correction data out of a single frequency receiver. It also sounds like a costly add-on. ok The other differential positioning technologies mentioned are likely DGPS, where you have a separate GPS receiver at a precisely known position which radios out the offsets (within some local radius) between the GPS-derived position and its precisely known position. DGPS receivers recieve and incorporate these offsets into their calculations. ok The question back to you, I guess, would be: do your friend need sub-meter accuracy and 10Hz position updates? (Most NMEA-out GPSs output positions only at 1Hz or less, depending on the NMEA sentences enabled.) Ok. Short answer is I'm not really sure I'll try and address Curt and Gerry's questions as well. Firstly.. WAAS signals aren't a problem, the only mountains are North, and going south, next stop would be Spain. Most of the land is pretty flat. The system is being marketed to do several things (apologies, I'm not at my desk, so the piece of paper I wrote the URL on is not available to me.. scratch that.. found it. http://www.farmworks.co.uk/gps.php click on GPS Swath Guidance ), one of which is to allow him to spread fertiliser with as little overlap as possible. This is because over the course of a season, the cost of the overlap is quite high apparently (in monetary terms). It must be appreciable as he is looking for a method to reduce that cost, but is sceptical of the solutions presented. Purely as an exercise, I was going to try the GPS-18 that I have already, put GPSman running (or something) and drive one or two of his fields.. just to see what he thinks...all the locals looking at their APRS displays will think I've gone barmy...

I'm running the WRF (community developed Weather Research and Forecasting)model over a rather large domain, from ~40W to ~105W and ~5N to ~55N. The display is surface wind fields. The purpose of this model is to provide 10 meter height winds and surface barometric pressures to initialize ocean circulation and wave models, which will in turn be used to help predict storm surge and inundation. It's hard to see some of the arrowheads especially on the vectors that have small magnitudes. It seems the arrowheads scale with the magnitude of the vector, too, and not just the length of the vector line. Perhaps fixed sized arrowheads and color for the magnitude like radar data? Good point/observation. With the package we're using now... and most I've seen for model outputs, there's little I can do to keep the arrow heads a constant size but we can look into this.

They already have a service for cellphones that's about 5 pound GB per year (don't know if that's going directly to OS or the cellular carrier) and hoping that, for things like APRS (which the head of OS hadn't heard of but found very interesting) the data can be available this calendar year. Is that in the UK or Ireland? I know the Mountain Rescue folks are working hard on the maps (In both the UK and Ireland) at the moment as they have recently begun using (in the last 12-18 months), Simoco radio's that have an attached GPS microphone, that squirts out the position when PTT is released, or when the radio is polled. I'll be bringing one (Maybe) to the GAREC conference in Huntsville in August. offtopic We've been working with one of the MR teams here in EI land developing an application to aid in the ICP and only recently managed to figure out the SIMOCO protocol, but now we 'think' we have a better library than their own windows DLL.. its definitely more stable.

On another note, I'm trying to hack together an Open Geospatial Consortium Open Location Server using APRS-IS data. Seems OGC OLS folks never thought of the potential for using any medium besides cellphones. OGC demonstrations already use APRS-IS data to demonstrate the Sensor Observation Service, both for vehicle tracking and snagging the weather data out and using it as sensor streams. Interesting stuff. Because it's REST- and XML-based, it's not nearly as compact as APRS, but useful in the paradigm of the XML revolution that's been sweeping the net... /topic Ummm... ok... you've now completely lost me.. but it sounds good..

[Xastir] Slightly Off Topic.
Afternoon, I spent most of yesterday evening being driven around (the bends!) Stages for a Car Rally, we were giving signal reports back to a station that will be a Repeater site for the actual event. It turns out, that we picked a good site for the repeater as it was accessible from pretty much all the required points via either mobile or handheld radio. We could see the cars that missed 'turn's' on APRS, and were able to send them back ''on stage as it were (saved a good bit of time). Now, a question was posed to me from one of the guys. They have Timing Clocks, that they use at the Start/Finish controls, the guy I was talking to was saying that they are RS-232 out. Brain was doing a bit of ticking over (on the long straits) and seeing as they have RS-232 out I was wondering thinking A) it may be possible to hook it into APRS to Automate the information gathering, and B) has anyone done anything similar? I'm going to get more information on the Timing Units, and I will also get an ASCII stream from one of them. If nothing else, its something 'else' to play with on APRS. My Idea would be to maybe put a Tracker into the 00 car (last to run before competition cars) which Control could watch on a Screen with Xastir, and then maybe a server port application to receive and demultiplex the packets from the different start/finish stations into a single log (maybe CSV) file for each. Obviously this years event is a bit too close to try anything. Comments?

From your info, can I assume RELAY, TRACEn-N and named stations are supported? If so, and the UK network is implemented in a way that is similar to the North American network, then you should not need to use RELAY in a fixed station. In North America, the APRS network consists of fixed high level digipeater that support all current aliases. If an area requires a fill-in digi to help low powered handheld or mobile stations to get to the high level digis, then a home fill-in station is added. This used to by RELAY in North America, but is now using the WIDE1-1 alias to reduce ping-ponging packets. We have an informal group throughout the Pacific Northwest, and western Canada called NWAPRS www.nwaprs.info, where we discuss items like this, as well as work at keeping up to date on the optimal settings for APRS users and infrastructure. Looking at packets from around the UK, it is difficult to know what is happening around there... Long paths, and misconfigured stations seem to abound. Having a group like the NWAPRS group allows us to keep in touch, and try to help people get optimal use out of the APRS network. We also have a reflector that we use to keep in touch.

Ok, Tested on a Ubuntu-6.06-LTS Have quite a few XPM and/or ImageMagick support have not been compiled in. Messages. For clarity it might be worth putting a \n after the fullstop. Just wondering, why does xastir default to port 10151 as the Internet Server port that it connects to? I'm going to put it running on a full feed (port 14580 m/25000) and I'll leave it run overnight.

I have no idea why there should have been a difference, but there was, exactly as you and John have both seen. I tracked down the issue, with the help of google on the error message. The really helpful search result was this one: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general/217819 The issue is that libgeotiff's configure script looks around for how to build shared libraries, and concludes that it needs to do ld -shared to make libgeotiff.so from its object files. This is, however, completely incorrect with GCC 4.x. The right thing to do is gcc -shared The workaround is to configure libgeotiff by overriding its internal probe for the way to do shared libraries. That is, libgeotiff should be built with ./configure --with-ld-shared=gcc -shared make sudo make install Unfortunately, if I were to slam that into get-maptools, it would probably break the script for some other platform. Instead, I'm documenting the cheesy hack I did on my temporary copy of get-maptools.sh, and adding that to the wiki. I've tried to make it so that anyone googling on the error message would get a quick answer to their question, too, so it has unfortunately bloated the step-by-step instructions somewhat. It's still pretty straightforward. I'm trying your 'cheesy hack' now Tom on the LiveCD. It didn't seem to work initially as the Makefile in the 'bin' subdirectory wasn't receiving the 'gcc -shared' instruction/directive.

Re: [Xastir] Ubuntu 6.10 Bootstrap error
For what it's worth, I'm _again_ trying to get an Linux Standard Base (LSB) build of Xastir going, but it won't help non-Linux users. If I can get a minimum install done I'll try a maximum install, then a bunch of this library stuff can be avoided, at least by one class of users. People will be able to install a few binary RPM's and be up and running on _any_ Linux system that is LSB-3.0 compliant. If I can get Lesstif-LSB to compile I'll move on to Xastir-LSB. There's no support under LSB for Motif, so I have to do it in this order. I even found a nice Intel article explaining how to compile Lesstif under LSB and still have never successfully gotten it to compile. If anyone has experience compiling under LSB and can help, let me know. I've tried to do this a couple of times in the past and gotten frustrated. I can't stand letting the computer get the best of me so here I am trying it again. Can't help you there Curt, I've no experience with it. I might have a look at it next week though... just in case I have some inspiration :) The Ubuntu Boot CD seems to boot ok, I've not got any maps on it except the default world map that is now part of it (nice touch!) I use pretty much what Tom has outlined in the Wiki, just adapted for making the LiveCD. All the sources are in /home/admin. I only did a 'make clean' to claim some space back before burning the CD. The sources are owned by root because of the install process. I'll see if I can fix that later on. I still didn't make an Icon on the Desktop, what can I say but I'm lazy.

There were countless libraries and other things I had to change in order to get it working, unfortunately I did so much I can't remember half of what I did. There is an alternative solution if all you care about is running the latest version of Xastir, there is a way to install it from Edgy's repositories. I found a tool called prevu on the Ubuntu forums that essentially allows you to backport applications from Edgy to Dapper. I did this lastnight and it worked flawlessly. The latest version is sitting the Edgy repositories(1.8.2) If your interested in building completely from source, I can dig up the emails I have with solutions to some of the problems I had and I'll try and help as best as I can. I would eventually like to see this built as a .deb package specifically for Ubuntu complete with dependencies etc. My xastir/Linux laptop went belly up, as soon as I get it back running (or a replacement) I'll be putting ubuntu onto it, and its my intention to do exactly this. If all the libraries aren't present in binary form, I'm planning to make .deb's of them and then to create a .deb of xastir itself. I've to figure out how to replace the kernel on the livecd first :) Then again I might just create a new livecd with the current/latest version of xastir on there and with all options enabled. I've not really made up my mind yet.. but a livecd does give me that warm fuzzy feeling :) Regards de John EI7IG -- John Ronan [EMAIL PROTECTED], +353-51-302938 Telecommunications Software Systems Group, http://www.tssg.org ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
Re: [Xastir] Another Xastir Oddities
Nope. Excellent guess though, and kind of a similar type of thing. Position ambiguity is now a box with lines diagonal from corner to corner, with the symbol placed in the center. I see VA7ALB-9, AC9H-12, and DL1HSI on my map with position ambiguity rectangles. Ah.. yes.. very different.. cool. These white rectangles are something that I added a while back showing the precision of the posits. You'll only see it from about zoom 1 through zoom 16 I think. Apologies.. I mistook the two. For Base-91 packets it's very small and just barely viewable at zoom 1. About 2'x3' I think? For standard APRS packets or Mic-E packets, it'll be quite large, something like 40' x 60' at my latitude. There's no way to turn it off. Most people don't zoom in that far anyway. Is it causing any problems? Not for me... I was mistaking what the two of them were... both very useful features.. I hope I didn't add to the confustion :) Regards de John EI7IG -- John Ronan [EMAIL PROTECTED], +353-51-302938 Telecommunications Software Systems Group, http://www.tssg.org ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
