50 How to install the program:
51 ----------------------
52
53 To compile gpsdrive you need quite a few development packages.
54 These requirements are detailed in the DEVPACKAGES text file.
55
56 Most importantly you will need a C compiler (gcc >=3.x) and 'make'.
57
58
59 To compile from the tarball:
60
61 Extract it with "tar -xvzf gpsdrive*tar.gz"
62 cd gpsdrive
63 mkdir build
64 cd build
65 cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug
66 make
67
68 If you don't need the support of Mapnik and dislike having GDAL ...
69 cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug -DWITH_GDAL=OFF -DWITH_MAPNIK=OFF
70
71 See "cmake -L .." for more variables to treak.
72
73 To install the program, the gpsd daemon and the language files you should
74 (as root) do:
75 make install
76
77
78 After compiling and installing* read the manpage of gpsdrive or start the
79 program if you are to lazy to read manuals. ;-) Or read it online.
80 [*] install is needed for localized versions of the man page.
81
