View source for Navit

Here is some [[Nokia N900|N900]]-specific Navit information.

== Install Pre-Compiled Packages ==
Navit can be installed as described [http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1025907&postcount=511 this post]

== Compile ==
Here are instructions how to compile Navit on N900.

=== Create a SDK Image on the Phone ===
Sorry I can't remember exactly reproduceable steps.
Most information about this come from [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=32772 this thread].
# Install "easy chroot".
# Download <code>maemo-sdk-v1_2.img.ext2</code> from qole.
# Increase temp size "<code>mount -o remount,size=10M /tmp</code>"
# Chroot into the image.
# Install language package to fix the perl errors.
# Install Nokia binaries.
# Update distribution.
# Download, compile and install [http://quox.org/install/gnu/ GNU autotools].
# Install "<code>librsvg2-bin</code>" to be able to convert SVG files into PNG files.
# Install SVN client to be able to get the libgarmin source.

=== Freetype2 ===
Maemo has a version with a bug. So use a newer one for Navit.

Download source [http://mirrors.zerg.biz/nongnu/freetype/freetype-2.3.11.tar.gz] and unpack it.

<pre>
./configure --prefix=/opt/navit/lib/3rdparty --libdir=/opt/navit/lib/3rdparty
make
make install
</pre>

Note: The bug is fixed in CSSU.

=== Libgarmin ===
To support garmin maps you need this driver.

Download source:
svn co http://libgarmin.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/libgarmin/libgarmin/dev libgarmin

<pre>
./autosh.sh
./configure --prefix=/opt/navit/lib/3rdparty --libdir=/opt/navit/lib/3rdparty
make
make install

# create so file:
cd src
gcc -shared -o libgarmin.so *.o
cp libgarmin.so /opt/navit/lib/3rdparty
</pre>

=== Navit ===
Now, you can compile Navit yourself:

Download source [http://navit.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/navit/] and unpack it.

<pre>
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/navit/lib/3rdparty/pkgconfig/

./autogen.sh

./configure --prefix=/opt/navit --disable-binding-python --enable-avoid-float --enable-avoid-unaligned --enable-svg2png-scaling="32,48,64" --enable-svg2png-scaling-flag="32,48,64" --enable-svg2png-scaling-nav="8,16,32,48,64" --disable-samplemap --disable-graphics-sdl --enable-vehicle-maemo --with-svg2png-use-rsvg-convert --disable-svg

make
make install
</pre>

=== Configure ===
You have to configure the XMLs in "<code>/home/user/.navit</code>".

Now you can start Navit in SDK image:
<pre>
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/navit/lib/3rdparty:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/opt/navit/bin/navit
</pre>

=== Package ===
Now create a deb package to install it on N900 outside of the SDK image.

Script:
<pre>
echo "create root dir"
cd "/home/user/reini/package/navit"
version="0.2.0~svn3708-1_armel"
navit="navit_${version}"

echo "init"
rm -R -f "$navit"
# my template dir has the following files
# /DEBIAN/prerm
# ./DEBIAN/postinst
# ./DEBIAN/control
# ./opt/navit/bin/navit.sh
cp -R ./template "$navit"

echo "copy navit configuration"
mkdir -p "$navit/home/user/.navit"
cp /home/user/.navit/*.xml "$navit/home/user/.navit"
mkdir -p "$navit/home/user/.navit/sample"
cp /home/user/.navit/sample/*.sh "$navit/home/user/.navit/sample"
cp /home/user/.navit/sample/*.bin "$navit/home/user/.navit/sample"

echo "copy navit binaries"
cp -R /opt/navit/ "$navit/opt"
(
  # keep only so files from additional libs
  cd "$navit/opt/navit/lib/3rdparty"
  rm -R bin include pkgconfig share libfreetype.a libgarmin.a
)

echo "create deb"
dpkg-deb -b "$navit"
</pre>

Now you have a "[http://members.aon.at/rpr-webs/n900/navit_0.2.0~svn3708-1_armel.deb navit_0.2.0~svn3708-1_armel.deb]" ready for installation on N900.

=== Install ===
<pre>
dpkg -i navit_0.2.0~svn3708-1_armel.deb
</pre>
