qtGPSc

qtGPSc Main Screen

This is (at least for now) the home of qtGPSc, a Qt-based graphical client for gpsd, in the line of xgps.

qtGPSc is more than anything an exercise in Qt design. The current version, although functional, is probably ridden with bugs. Please read the README and TODO files for details.

Requirements

The gpsd library (libgps.so*) must be installed in your system for this program to work.

Source tarball

qtgpsc-0.2.3.tar.gz

You will need a Qt3 development environment installed. To compile:

    tar -xzf qtgpsc-0.2.3.tar.gz
    cd qtgpsc-0.2.3/
    qmake qtgpsc.pro
    make
That will result in a file named qtgpsc which you may install wherever you wish, such as /usr/local/bin. There is no make install rule.

Should you have Qt4 installed, depending on your distro you may need to replace the qmake command above by /usr/lib/qt3/bin/qmake.

RPM

RPMs are available at my repository at the openSUSE build service.
