Re: [gpsd-users] Patch installation problem

Hallo,

 

you can apply this patch to the git head only.

 
Please do a "git clone  git://git.sv.gnu.org/gpsd.git" and fetch the whole repository instead.

 

This patch is a part of a series of patches, that allow the output a some AIS messages in "NMEA" (AIS) format again.

I do not adress the problem with the freestanding AIS Type 24 part A messages with this patches.

 

After reading the AIS documentation, some versions say, you can use Message 24 Part A to connect a MMSI to a ship name, versions of the standart say only use Message 24.

 

Eric should decide, if we need handle freestanding Type 24 Part A messages.

 

Eric: I have recieved this message only at my private e-mail, not at the list....

Reinhard Arlt sent a patch to the gpsd repo earlier this month that seems to address the problem of gpsd not treating type 24 message parts A and B as individual decodeable entities.

 

I'd like to apply Reinhard's patch and do some testing with it.  I can run a few hundred thousand type 24 messages through it in a few days to see what comes out the far end of the patched gpsd.

 

Assuming that this works it will allow me to remove a very ugly workaround that I have in place..

 

The problem I have is:

 

I think this is meant to be a patch to a source file called pseudoais.c

I can't locate that file in the 3.9 distribution.

 

Could someone point me in the right direction?

 

Cheers (and thanks to Reinhard for working on a fix for this issue)
