[OZAPRS] XASTIR - maps

[Ray Wells]

Andrew,

If you want ax25 support in xastir you'll need libax25-dev. May I 
suggest you consider installing the sources that are available from 
F6BVP rather than mainstream. Bernard has been introducing patches over 
a couple of years and some of these are not in mainstream versions. One 
example of a patch (not Bernard's) that still isn't in mainstream is for 
ax25ipd. According to a recent posting to Debian-Hams, the standard 
sources still don't include the ability to use domain names rather than 
ip addresses, despite the patched version being available for at least 5 
years, and working faultlessly. Kind of important when dealing with 
dynamic ip addresses. That patch came from Steve Frazer VK5ASF.

Bernard has
libax25 (libax25-dev is part of this source)
ax25-apps
ax25-tools

There's also a handy Howto for compiling them. It's included in the Fpac 
mini-howto that's on his site.

If you install libax25-dev (and ax25-app, ax25-tools) from deb packages 
they'll install in the wrong locations as far as xastir is concerned. 
The packaged versions of xastir and the above install to /usr/sbin, 
/usr/share/ and so on wheras compiled versions install to 
usr/local/sbin, and so on.
