[Xastir] Compiling Xastir in a Raspberry Pi

[Lee Bengston]

Hello to the list members.

Similar to what has been provided previously via the installation notes at
http://www.xastir.org for Ubuntu, etc., I have posted a shell script for
automating the process of downloading dependent packages, retrieving Xastir
source code from CVS, and compiling & installing Xastir.

>From a terminal in the Raspberry Pi, the shell script can be retrieved as
follows:

wget http://www.175moonlight.com/xastir/raspbian-xastir-cvsbuild.sh

Next make sure the script is executable using the following command:

chmod +x raspbian-xastir-cvsbuild.sh

Then execute the script as follows:

./raspbian-xastir-cvsbuild.sh

When the script finishes, you should have a compiled and installed version
of Xastir fresh from the CVS respository.  I didn't bother installing
either geotiff or gdal with the script, but "everything else" was included.

If you already have a directory named src/xastir under your home directory,
I would rename it before executing the script.  The script worked for me -
I have a working and very up to date copy of Xastir on the Pi after
executing it.

The Pi is not a speed burner, so the whole process will definitely take
some time, and of course an Internet connection is needed in order for the
script to download Xastir and its dependencies.
