Okay, I'll look into why it's not adding the library search path and upload a new set of packages today.

Yes, though not tested. :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Columbus Navigation Toolkit
 
On my N900 it also failed to add /opt/usr/lib.
I added it manually and updated with ldconfig.
Works fine now.

i set my n95 to use bluetooth gps,but it can't connect to my N900,is there any step i miss?

thanks

You need to pair your N900 with the N95 and set the N900 to accept connections automatically from the N95, then, make sure Bluetooth is on from the system tray then enable bluetooth streaming in Columbus

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Columbus Navigation Toolkit
 
@tswindell:

I have this problem where I run Columbus, and it runs fine... but about a minute later the program quits.

Also, I had installation problems earlier and had to append in file /etc/ld.so.conf the string "/opt/usr/lib/" before I got it working.

Is there anything you need from me to help you debug this?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Columbus Navigation Toolkit
 
After doing the ldconfig thing, version 0.9-1 starts, but it does not initialize the GPS. The GPS icon never appears in the status bar. So it never gets any location information.

When I run it from the command line I see the following messages:

ApplicationController: Loading application configuration.
ApplicationController: Attempting to start up location services.
ApplicationController: Location services started.
ApplicationController: Connecting telemetry source signals.

So it seems to think it started location services, but it did not. Other GPS apps including Nokia's map and GPSJinni work fine, as does the Qt mobility demo app and the 0.8.2 version of Columbus.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Columbus Navigation Toolkit
 
why don't you just link the .desktop file to a shell script that appends /opt/usr/lib or whatever to LD_LIBRARY_PATH? Like Marble does. then call main app from the script.

Good idea,

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Columbus Navigation Toolkit
 
haven't got columbus installed. should be pretty easy though. i use it to run a desktop project with loads of shared libraries. bit more complex as its based off the quake 3 launcher script.

tswindell 2010-12-30 19:00
Re: [ANNOUNCE] Columbus Navigation Toolkit
 
Personally as "/opt/usr" is the default install prefix in Qt Creator for maemo projects, I think that /opt/usr/bin should be in $PATH and /opt/usr/lib should be in /etc/ld.so.conf, but who should set that up :)

Android_808 2010-12-30 19:38
Re: [ANNOUNCE] Columbus Navigation Toolkit
 
As ld.so.conf is a major file, would you want your app to be the reason someones device gets messed up if something goes wrong. at least the scripted way the change is only temporary, only being made when the app is run and then undone on reboot

Actually unless you export your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, it's only in effect for the duration of your shell script/app is running.

"/etc/ld.so.conf" is a system configuration file that I am only using for its' intended purpose. I'm using it for exactly the reason it's there ..

But It shouldn't necessarily be up to my app to add the "/opt/usr" prefix into the system. There should be some Qt Application package that does it, that I and other developers would then depend on so we didn't have to worry about setting the system up correctly ourselves ..

will this app EASILY give me the exact geographic coordinates of where i am at any moment? if so how? i see from the screenshots that there are some coordinates. if this app does then i will love you forever!

The application displays latitude and longitude in various formats, it's not exactly the first that does it though :P

Hi tswindell,

I didn't hear from you since my last post and decided to give you whatever info I could get from the error. When I run columbus from a terminal shell, I got the following:

here is columbus output message:

ServicePerformerFactory: destroyInstance() - Unregistering with logging manager.
BluetoothAcceptor: Destroying transport.
BluetoothAcceptor: Notifying upper layer.
BluetoothAcceptor: Remote endpoint "00:1A:DC:D4:8D:5C" connected, creating transport handle.

"00:1A:DC:D4:8D:5C" is my n95.

is the n95 not support NMEA format?

okay so installed it but it crashes as soon as i launch it. any ideas?

After installation Columbus Navigation Toolkit it crashes on start-up

yeap for me is the same once i click on the icon it crashes.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Columbus Navigation Toolkit
 
@ddiscodave and ayazpak:

go to terminal as root, edit the file:

/etc/ld.so.conf

and add in the following line:

/opt/usr/lib

Save the file, then run:

ldconfig

You should now be able to launch Columbus. If it still doesn't work, reboot your N900 and all should run. Hope this helps... :)

Like I said, you need to have root access... try typing:

sudo gainroot

the prompt should change from an "$" to a "#". If this fails, you need to run the Application Manager and install a program called "rootsh".

There is a possibility your rootfs is mounted as READ-ONLY, you will need to search for a solution in these forums or via Google. I know how to solve this if it affects your microSD or MyDocs mounted media but am not sure how (if it's even the case here) for the rootfs. Sorry... :(

It should, I'll have to test it on my sisters N95 this weekend and see what I can come up with.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Columbus Navigation Toolkit
 
If you do waypoints and logging and such do you also provide a travelman-salesman or chinese postman solution? What I think of is a minimal-spanning-tree and euler-path. Wouldn't it be a helpful tool to calculate such a path?

can this somehow send information (nmea 0183) through a com port to the computer or is there another app that can achieve this

In tools you can set it up to stream over the usb serial port that the modem usually uses in PC suite mode. With obvious side effects.

Yes, the current version is broke, there's plenty in this thread, even just a few posts back documenting this.
