maemo.org - Talk - Navit on N900

Thanks again for the builds!

I just wanted to mention that I came across the problem once again that navit only starts via xterm, not with the launch icon from menu after installing the new navit.xml from /etc/navit in the .navit-directory in home.

I tried again with the former navit.xml that didn´t caused this- works!
Then tried again with the new navit.xml- suddenly it worked too!

Can anyone reproduce this behavior?
It is good for next time to know but I would be curious for the reason of all this.

Tnx & Bye!

Magic_doc: I cannot reproduce this (but I use slightly different navit.xml). Maybe try to modify the command used by to launch navit to redirect its output to a file and see what is going on?

I made some changes navit.xml I use and link to from navit wiki (mainly cosmetics - better formatting so that the diff from /etc/navit/navit.xml is clearer) and the OSD (added quit button and switching to 2D now zooms out to the whole route - I have yet to see if this is a good idea in practice as well). Here you go in case anybody is interested.

Re: Navit on N900

in the latest versions seems no all the settings are translated according to localization

my localization is italian, but some settings are in english still (for example the profiles in settings->vehicle; rules settings, and "former destination")

is the same for other languages?

we should inform navit team or submit a translation?

Re: Navit on N900

If you get some fixes for the translation issues, let me know and I will start a new build.

Re: Navit on N900

Could anybody help me with a repository for the 0.5.0 version of navit?
On bokomoko you can just find the 0.2.0 packages.

Thanks and best regards,

I always use latest svn to build. I must have missed, that the navit team has increased the version number. So no worry, it is just the version string in the package which is missleading :-)

tanago,

I gave in an earlier post a short description and posted the scripts I use to build navit:

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=631

They are using dpkg-buildpackage.

The debian directory you should get bokomoko as well through the standard debian toolchain. Please check the documentation for the "apt-get source" documentation for details.

If you need more help, please ask again.

Ah OK, Thanks for the clarification :)
BTW: Thank you very much for keeping one of the last navigation solutions for the N900 alive!

I just dont have that 'debian' directory..

Quote:

A debian directory(http://tech.visser-scully.ca/) is available so that you can build your own packages. Download and unpack in your top Navit source directory. Build a .deb file by using fakeroot ./debian/rules binary after running the initial autogen and configure at least once. The .deb file will appear in the directory above where you are. This works best after you have done at least one build using the full set of commands above.

that site is down, how can I obtain that dir?

The conclusion I draw for me was that I build navit as long as possible, pledge the navit developers to keep autotools for a few more months, and then give up.

I tend to replace my n900 with an Android device in the next months anyways, so for me it is not really worth anymore to go through that transition to cmake....

...if anybody wants to take over and work on the transition, I am happy to help to replicate the (autotools based) build environment I have here.

I compiled navit's source with cmake not autotools

Re: Navit on N900

If you managed to make debs from autotools, that would be great!

No, I just build the source. Now I only need to package it in a deb file!

..so nobody build navit ?!
(or wants to help me?)

The maintainer of navit for N900 (Rdorsch) is not into navit anymore and look like he will not help me + he said he's moving away from N900

I just use it and have no idea ow to build it, but would be glad if you succeeded in building it and shared the debs.

I believe the debian direcotory you looked for is in tar.gz files on this address: http://bokomoko.de/~rd/maemo/unstable/ (like http://bokomoko.de/~rd/maemo/unstabl...o1~5427.tar.gz )

Re: Navit on N900

This debian dir compiles the source with autotools, I need it with cmake... First I tried with autotools but when i attempt dpkg-buildpackage error pops-up 'debian/opt/navit/share/icons: No such file or directory'
with cmake the whole procedure is a lot easier now, im on my way of creating my own debian dir, without ANY help.....

I ask for his help on the missing 'icons' dir not about cmake; if i manage to build at least with autotools i will take it in my own hands building with cmake.

Re: Navit on N900

Congratulations tanago! Having a deb which is built through cmake is really good, because autotools are deprecated by the navit team and will eventually not work anymore.

I was busy with other issue, but sup is right, I never got a navit deb working with cmake, so I cannot be a big help :-)

The icons build works on the x86 target of scratchbox not on arm for me. Therefore I build the navit-data... package on the x86 target. Since it is by definition architecture independet it works also for arm then at the end. My build scripts do that basically automatically (see my earlier post).

If you manage to build the icons on the arm target, then it should be possible to upload navit to the maemo.org repositories. But nobody managed to do that in the past three years, I think. A workaround could be to copy the icons in the debian dir....

BTW, I did my monthly navit built run, the new version is on bokomoko.de.

Enjoy

I built it through autotools. But still we have to talk about how can we make changes to the building options (what to enable, what to disable)

Re: Navit on N900

and do you know why my build doesn't have a menu icon and when I run it from menu it crashes but when run from the terminal it doesnt crash? I've used your script so you must have changed something to have a menu icon and to be able to run it from the menu...

Re: Navit on N900

Hmm....I do not do anything special, just run the script (and enter 5 times my gpg passkey because I did not manage to setup gpg-agent within scratchbox).

Where does the debian dir come from you started with? Did you do "apt-get source navit" from bokomoko.de sources?

I have removed some parts from your script like :'check for ssh-key'; 'upload x86 build to bokomoko'; 'update armel changes file'; 'upload armel build to bokomoko'

so it doens't ask me for gpg-key

I suggest to use the latest one from that maemo package, I built. The one you are using is almost two years old. I cannot promise though if that solves your problem....

I just built the latest (2-3 hours) 5428 svnversion with autotools and the debian dir from your package and it worked on my phone without any problems(I havent built FREMANTLE_X86 version navit, so my navit-data builds under FREMANTLE_ARMEL), now I'm trying to build it with cmake. :)

Re: Navit on N900

Well...I managed to build navit through cmake!

...but there is only one problem to resolve and we can say it's mission accomplished. cmake can't find Qt Declarative(which I think is provided by libqt4-experimental-declarative-dev) that is needed for QML gui and without qml gui packaging debs fail. If we just solve that issue we can build through cmake :)

Edit: Removing ./debian/navit-gui-qml.install is a temporary fix
