“gpsturbo“ seems to be a potential open-source rival for GSAK that a friend of us suggested (he knows the author in person), so I decided to give it a try. Currently, no Linux-binaries are available, so here are my notes what is required to build it on Ubuntu from scratch:
sudo aptitude install subversion libasound2-dev libcups2-dev libfreetype6-dev
Compilation has been done in a clean karmic chroot, which already contained my default package selection for compilation-chroots:
apt-get install wget devscripts gnupg aptitude sudo vim bash-completion libxext-dev
