FoxtrotGPS: we can dance if we want to...

Building FoxtrotGPS from bzr

To build FoxtrotGPS from a fresh bzr branch, you will need:

• The GNU `Autotools' suite:
  • Autoconf
  • Automake
  • Libtool
• pkg-config
• GTK+ 2.x
• libglade
• GConf 2.x
• libxml2
• SQLite
• libexif
• libcurl
• libgps (≥ 2.90)
• Intltool
• the help2man command from GNU Texinfo
• the convert command from ImageMagick

On Ubuntu and other Debian-based systems, the above prerequisites are all available prepackaged--installable with the apt-get command:

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake pkg-config gconf2 libcurl4-gnutls-dev libexif-dev libsqlite3-dev libgconf2-dev libtool libgtk2.0-dev libglade2-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev libgps-dev intltool help2man imagemagick

Because much of the familiar GNU-style build-infrastructure is autogenerated from templates, and we avoid maintaining many autogenerated files in bzr, you'll need to `bootstrap' via the included autogen.sh script, e.g.:

./autogen.sh

That will produce the infrastructure that supports the standard GNU-style build-procedure:

./configure
make
make install
