Re: [Gpsbabel-misc] Installing gpsbabel on Intel Edison

[Robert L. <rob...@gp...>]

Hi, and Welcome.

Qt offers a lot of APIs; a GUI is only one of them.

We still have supported (and shipped) the command line version, just like
we have for 17 years. Our command line edition uses QtCore for strings,
time, and such. Our GUI uses, unsurprisingly, QtGui.


I don't know enough about Edison to know where or how they distribute
packages. At a glance, Galileo looks like another x86 Linux, and since many
popular Linux apps use Qt, it's likely that you won't have to build it from
scratch. The question to ask your Galileo community is "how can I get Qt
(or at least QtCore...though I won't swear we don't use other Qt modules)
 for Galileo?"
