gpssim.c uses conio.h which isn't available on linux so can't compile about bladegps HOT 13 CLOSED

Sorry for the trouble. I'm not a Linux person, and the code was only tested on the Windows. You can find the source code for the "khbit" and "getch" equivalents for Linux on the net.

@nzkarit does this help at all? https://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-conioh/ or this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29335758/using-kbhit-and-getch-on-linux

from bladegps.

I've forked this repo and got it compiling and running on Linux with only a few tweaks, mostly just using ncurses for getch (from ncurses-dev) and adding a little khbit function, plus a small change to the Makefile to link to the ncurses lib.

I haven't coded in C for many years now, so there's probably some improvements that can be made to whatever I do.

I'm going to clean it up a bit this weekend and see if osqzss wants to pull it, but if you're interested in playing with it now it's available here:

https://github.com/keith-citrenbaum/bladeGPS

I'm going to also try to get it cycling on OS X as well this weekend.

@keith-citrenbaum there seems to be an issue with your code while using the interactive mode. No key can be pressed, I can't even exit the program using Ctrl+C.

from bladegps.

Ack! You're right @Robert-steve. I just tested it with the static mode, not interactive. I'll take a look at it this evening.

I think that it would be better to use getchar() instead of getch(). I will test and give some feedback.

Anyone ever able to compile this in Linux with functional interactive mode? I tried keith-citrenbaum's code however I continued to run into ncurses errors. I also tried to run the windows complied version in wine (with ubuntu) and couldn't get it to initialize the bladeRF. I think wine can work, but I'd rather find a way to run this natively in linux if possible, thank you.

from bladegps.

Try to build from the latest source. It's not working quite right but can be some help. I couldn't figure out the way to clear the STDIN buffer after reading a single character with getchar().

from bladegps.

Indeed this works thank you very much!

I have added a little more touch. It works much better.

from bladegps.

I just compiled it on raspbian and got some warnings: tmax.mm, hh, etc "may be used uninitialized in this function" However it appears to run fine. I couldn't get a fix but that could have been because I was lazy and used the 2 year old brdc file in the directory as opposed to grabbing a new one and setting an appropriate time. (I get some live sky leakage where I'm at.)
I have been able to get a fix using raspbian with gps-sdr-sim and bladerf, so it definitely works with the pi. Anyway thanks again.

gpssim.c uses conio.h, which from my googling is Windows only. When you run make on linux you get the following error:

user@ubuntu:~/bladeGPS$ make
gcc -O3 -Wall -I../bladeRF/host/libraries/libbladeRF/include   -c -o gpssim.o gpssim.c
gpssim.c:19:19: fatal error: conio.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
<builtin>: recipe for target 'gpssim.o' failed
make: *** [gpssim.o] Error 1

Hello, I have problem with installation:
cd ../../../bladeGPS: no directiory
which folder should I navigate?

from bladegps.

I can't compile a program containing conio.h
I use linux mint ulyana
I wrote the code in visual studio code.
Can any one help me?
