NavDrift Mac OS

Here are some notes about running navit under Apple Mac OSX.

What you will need¶

Mac-How; Make sure you don't have fink installed on your system, it can confuse MacPorts package building and installation. You should only need gtk2. Version: 2.0.66. NaViSet Administrator is a network based control and asset management system for NEC display monitors and projectors. With NaViSet Administrator you can.

You need Xcode Tools and MacPorts in order to install navit.

MacPorts developers suggest to install Xcode Tools from http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/ and not from the Mac OSX install disk.See Mac-How

Make sure you don’t have fink installed on your system, it can confuse MacPorts package building and installation.

  • GTK Gui: You should only need gtk2 and glib2 via macPorts
  • SDL Gui: Untested yet.

Installation instruction¶

Download Xcode Tools from http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/ and install it with X11 SDK

Download and Install MacPorts from http://www.macports.org/, or update your version

Open up a terminal

make sure your PATH variables has /opt/local/bin and /opt/local/sbin in it:

Install automake, wget, libtool, gpsd (if you want gps support), gtk2 and glib2 (for gkt GUI) with

Download navit or checkout it from Git

You may also need a header file to handle endian issues (for PPC only)

If you want to install navit along the MacPorts packages, you need to use the /opt/local directory as prefix:

type make to build NavIt, and sudo make install to install it.

Then, you may edit and adapt your navit.xml file. The XML maptype is not supported, however normal Navit binfile works perfectly.

Speech¶

If you want (spoken) directions, get espeak from http://espeak.sourceforge.net, install as advised and use the following snippet in your navit.xml:

This will tell speak to use a female (f) german (de) voice.

Using xcode¶

Download one of the Git sources that don’t contain autogen.sh.

Open X-Code and create a new project. Cocoa will suffice

Add in a new target by clicking the triangle next to “Targets” and selected the location of the navit folder. Delete the previous target.

Delete the default files, and add in the navit files.

In a terminal, go into the navit folder.

xcode can now build the navit

You can also use CMake.
