Re: [gpsd-users] Trying to cross-compile for arm

[Lukas Jünger]

Hello Gary,
I don't think that there is anything missing in the documentation of 
gpsd. It was more a problem with the documentation of ncurses. I can 
however add something about that to the build.txt but I don't know if 
that is the way to go. I'm unsure if building ncurses with separate 
libtinfo is even necessary. It fixed the problem for me, but I'm unsure 
how the library is structured and if this is something that could be 
fixed in the build process of gpsd or if ncurses has to be compiled with 
separate libtinfo. Maybe a developer can answer this. If ncurses has to 
be build with separate libtinfo, this information could be added to the 
build.txt. Crosscompiling ncurses is described well on the website I 
linked to in one of my previous mails.

Best regards,
Lukas
