[Xastir] Linspire & Dig_Ned

[hasan schiers]

OK, I got a Linux distro working again (my old computer latched up and 
died). I ended up putting Linspire 5.0 on a meagre machine and Xastir seems 
to run just fine from it. I want to put digi_ned on it using the agwpe 
interface to my windows box.

Being a Linux novice, I don't know how to do it. I have downloaded the 
source file for digi-ned. Could someone give me a "by the numbers" 
explanation of how to create the executible for digi-ned (and where to put 
it). I can figure out how to configure digi-ned (I've done it before), but 
not being a Linux person, I don't know anything more than how to get the 
source file off my network and somewhere onto the Linux box.

Xastir is running perfectly with my agwpe setup located on my networked 
windows machine, and is connecting to the aprs server just fine. Weather 
warnings are showing just fine. Tiger maps working just fine. Everything is 
pretty ducky with Xastir. (This was done with Linspire's CNR , Click and Run 
Install). I'm surprised it worked as well as it did. All I had to do is 
configure Xastir...piece of cake.

Linspire is a Debian type of disto, I think.

So, for digi-ned:

1. What "directory" do I copy the source file for digi-ned into?

2. What is the command syntax for making the executible. (from a command 
prompt/terminal window)

3. What is the command line syntax for starting digi-ned using the agwpe 
interface in the verbose mode? (I had it written down, but lost it long 
ago).

Any other tips? TIA
