Navit - The OpenSource vector based navigation program with routing engine.

**shotgunefx** · 08-30-2007, 01:56 PM

I downloaded the newest version from CVS and ran into a problem when building with autogen.sh.

aclocal. macro 'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' required but not defined.

I seem to remember hitting this in the past while building SDL or smpeg.

I tried upgrading to a higher version of automake (1.9) but had no luck. I was running 1.4 (to get smpeg running IIRC)

Any suggestions?

Mmm. I have automake 1.10.
Do you have libtool installed?

Btw, nice car

It's just missing some pictures of the inside

Thanks. Would be nicer if people didn't park by feel

Tried to rectify that, I've added some pics, but my interior always seems to be half apart (redoing the dash this weekend). Too many damn projects.

I didn't have libtool installed, after I did, made no difference. I can almost remember how I fixed this previously, but not exactly, I think it had to do with copying some files to another location or symlinking to them... damn, wish I could remember. I'll take a look at it later and see if I can jog my memory.

Until then you can just cp the whole datafile directory.

About navit.xml, it could be nice to provide a sample file, because writing one from scratch isn't easy. Just some thoughts

I added working sample configfiles for both guis and themes so sdl gui will actually work.

Hi all you wonderful people!
I am new, from South Africa.
Firstly: thank you for a great forum and all the contributions that everyone has made!

I have limited C/C++ skills I am a fulltime Delphi programmer but would like to get involve in the development.

My first goal is to coevert/make/assemble files for South Africa - routable.
After spending countless ours on the net I found some good info:
OSM form my city (Pretoria)
I converted it to text for navit, it shows up but if the route tags in the navit.xml file is not commented out then it fails on startup complaining: No route found. Any ideas?

Today I managed to find files containg the coords for streed addresses. I would like to incorporate that into the map. Any ideas?

If the navit text format is not routable or if one of the other formats are better to use, where can I find detail docs/ sample maps to enable me to take the info I have and compile maps that are actualy usable and routable in navit?

Lastly I've seen in a video online a guy using the destination function / search, any ideas how to get that working?

Thank you to everyone, and sorry for the lengthy post!

Did you rereun ./autogen.sh after installing libtool?

What distro are you using?

Yes I did rerun it. I think that first post jogged how I fixed it last time though, I had to do something with aclocal.

I'm running Edgy with a 2.6.20 source kernel

Weird, I just reinstalled automake 1.9 (just like I did a few days ago when trying) and it worked (kindof), I got some warnings about underquoted constructs, in particular smpeg.

But navit won't run. When I specify a config file (which I must), I get

WARNING **: can't load '/usr/lib/navit/*/lib*.so', Error '/usr/lib/navit/*/lib*.so': cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm going to guess that it has something to do with the automake warnings?

Ok. looks like your make install didn't succeed then. We'll have to fix that.
Can you try to run it from the source directory? (in navit/src, run ./navit)
