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

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

​That page is titled. ​
"Qt5 GUI on Intel Edison"

​If you don't want the GUI, don't build the GUI.

I don't do Galileo[1], but it looks like it runs Yocto Linux. Since that
very page says "the version of Qt in the Yocto package is 5.3.2."​, find
that and install it. Quit fixating on the GUI.  The standard ./configure &&
make (or qmake && make) builds the command line version.
​
You really need to find a group with a higher concentration of
Galileo/Yocto expertise than you'll find here.​

[1] I do some Pi and C.H.I.P., where the environments tend to be
debian-based, so the parlance isn't alien. It's just not a dialect I speak.​
