I'm putting in some skin settings that should enable radio playback in nghost. It uses mplayer's "radio://[channel]" feature. If anyone has a radio that is linux compatible, would you mind testing this out?

Also, the hdradio plugin needs more testing and tweaking. If you have one of those fancy visteon HDRadios, nGhost needs you!

Last of all, I have only tested nGhost's OBD-II plugin in simulation. It needs to be tested on a real scan tool before release. If you have a OBD-II scantool, nGhost once again, needs you!

If you don't have any of the above hardware and are looking for the excuse, here is your chance. Tell the wife that "nGhost needs you!".

I just so happen to have a Visteon HD tuner and a couple of different laptops running Xubuntu and Ubuntu and a of course the proper cables. I just need to know how to setup the HD plugin.

kev000

Thanks! You are a brave soul.

All you need to do is compile with the --enable-hdradio flag.

./configure --enable-hdradio
make
make install

if you don't feel like compiling from source, pm me and I'll build you a package.

Okay, I got the source libnghost and nghost via svn, but I'm stuck on dependencies. When compiling libnghost's ./configure I get stuck at this point:

checking for glClearColor in -lGL... no
configure: error: Missing GL library

I'm running Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 64-bit.

kev000

you are probably missing the opengl dev headers. I think it's libgl-mesa-dev or libgl-dev. something like that.

you'll also need:

libxml++2.6-dev
libtag-dev
libx11-dev ?
libcurl3-gnutils-dev (search for libcurl)
libboost-dev

and probably a few more I'm not thinking of.

Still no joy, same issue as posted above. I have libgl1-mesa-dev and libglu1-mesa-dev installed. Could it be a lack of linking between libraries? Or simply the 64-bit platform I'm using?

goroX

can you pastebin your compilation process and provide a link in here.


Isn't this related to opengl ???
Do you have sdl-image sdl-ttf sdl-gfx development packages installed ?

josborne79

Attached is the output from the ./configure process.

To my knowledge, the command referenced is related to OpenGL. Yes, I have SDL and SDL GFX installed.

I think I have all the other dependencies installed.

try installing freeglut. thats one of many things i automatically install on any machine i develop on.

josborne79

Freeglut3 is already installed.

Virac

libglew-(ver)-dev? i think latest is 1.4...

josborne79

libglew1.5-dev is installed.

I'm using a 64-bit Distribution. I have another laptop with Xubuntu 32-bit installed; I'll try compiling on that tonight.

Virac

libgl1-mesa-dev?

edit and when you say freeglut3 is installed is it freeglut3-dev?

josborne79

Yep. libgl1-mesa-dev is installed.

Okay, here's the good news all at once.

On my older ThinkPad T42, running 32-bit Xubuntu, I was able to successfully compile and install the software with the --enable-hdradio flag.

The bad news is that when I run nghost from the terminal, it won't run. The error message is that it isn't finding the nghost library files.

When I run the command nghost, it responds with the error that libnghostgui2.so.0 is not found. The libnghost files are located in /usr/local/lib/ . Copying or creating symbolic links to those files in /usr/lib/ didn't solve the problem.

So... maybe some pre-made Debian or Ubuntu 32-bit packages might not be a bad idea at this point.
