[Xastir] Compiling Xastir for the Raspberry Pi

[Ray Wells]

Max,

It's been a while since I compiled xastir on the RPi and I can't 
remember what I needed to do. I moved away from the Pi to a PC but still 
running Debian Wheezy. With Debian installations I've struck dependency 
problems between motiff/lesstif and imagemagick/graphicsmagick.

I found this to jog my memory;

This is what I had to say about dependencies ..

My solution on the Pi and subsequent PC based Debian installations of xastir has been to compile libgeotiff from sources,
following the method used in an old version of Ubuntu - 10.04 - http://www.xastir.org/wiki/HowTo:Ubuntu_10.04

These are the steps from that document. I can't remember if I looked for a later version on the osgeo site.


        Install libgeotiff

  * Download the libgeotiff source

As of this writing, the latest libgeotiff source can be downloaded like 
this:

     cd ~/src
     wgethttp://download.osgeo.org/geotiff/libgeotiff/libgeotiff-1.2.5.tar.gz

  * Unpack libgeotiff

     tar zxvf libgeotiff-1.2.5.tar.gz
     cd libgeotiff-1.2.5/

  * Build and install libgeotiff

     ./configure --with-ld-shared="gcc -shared"
     make
     sudo make install
     sudo ldconfig


There might be other ways but this worked for me.
