Hi all,

is it possible to install Navit on N900?
I tried, but it misses libgpsbt dependency... do you know how to resolve it?

with: apt-get install libgpsbt

N900 returns me that libgpsbt is in other package, but I don't know which to choose!

Ignoring this lib it install (dpkg --ingore-depends=libgpsbt -i navit.deb), but at start it crashes and closes.

Thanks!

Didn't anyone try? :)

Re: Navit on N900

You need to rebuild it for the N900. I've tried but didn't have much luck doing that.

Re: Navit on N900

I compiled navit-trunk in the N900 SDK to generate arm-code.
Compiling was fine, there was a small lib glitch when compiling maptool.

I used

Code:

./configure --prefix=/opt/navit --enable-vehicle-maemo && make && make install

to put everything to /opt, create a navit.tgz, scp to the N900, unpack in /opt/navit and try to start with

Code:

 NAVIT_SHAREDIR=/opt/navit/share/navit  NAVIT_LIBDIR=/opt/navit/lib/navit /opt/navit/bin/navit -d 1 -c /home/user/.navit/navit.xml

This crashs the program when it has to render the map. Compiling this for the x86 target and running in the SDK is fine :-/ If I start without NAVIT_SHAREDIR (== without map-data) I have a GUI without map and no crash.

I used GTK-GUI and

Code:

                <vehicle name="Maemo" enabled="yes" source="maemo://any" retry_interval="2"/>

                <!-- source cound be on of "any","cwp","acwp","gnss","agnss" -->

                <!-- retry_interval could be one of "1","2","5","10","20","30","60","120" measured in seconds -->

in the XML-config file

Any ideas?

Re: Navit on N900

Ok, a step further. petabyte from merusers.de pointed me to
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index....chbox_for_N8x0
This site has now instructions to compile Navit for the N900.
With these fixes I was able to overcome the crash.
Navit starts, runs really slow (cache disables), GTK is usable, Internal too slow.
But does not focus according to my GSM postion. I'm indoor so no GPS avaliable.
