Yea. Those two lines will get you going. Just change "modulename" to "xastir". Those instructions are generic for all SourceForge projects.
Updates from within the module's directory do not need the -d parameter.
*NOTE:* UNIX file and directory names are case sensitive. The path to the project CVSROOT must be specified using lowercase characters (i.e. /cvsroot/xastir)
And without the -d ?.
Only if you've already checked it out via CVS. For instance, I might go to ~/src and then type in the two lines above. I believe that will get you an "xastir" directory at ~/src/xastir in that case. I then "cd xastir", and I can then type further cvs commands, like "cvs update", and I don't need to specify anything further to get the latest Xastir code. After that, it's the usual: ./bootstrap.sh ./configure make su make install chmod 4755 /usr/local/bin/xastir exit (from root)
I have installed Xastir via CVS. How will I have the:
X11 APRS application
Or do I have this already since Xastir is running here ?.
Maybe I could have seen it if I ran a configure ?.
The only X11 APRS applications I know of are X-APRS (still in beta as far as I know, from the WinAPRS/MacAPRS guys), and Xastir. There are Java APRS clients out there too. You'll need to configure/install Xastir, then kill/restart in order to have the latest version running. Enough about Xastir on this list I suppose, since it's not really an SuSE ham application anymore... Subscribe to the Xastir mailing list at www.xastir.org (links are on the left) for further questions/discussion about Xastir. Thanks for the interest! -- Curt, WE7U.
