Description kevin.alden2 2015-10-14 20:34:53 UTC 
There is a bug with gpsd 3.15 where is is impossible to compile in NMEA 0183 support.  It has been reported and resolved (http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?46082), but there has not yet been a release for buildroot to pull in.

The following patch resolves the issue:


--- a/SConstruct	2015-06-03 10:09:31.000000000 -0400
+++ b/SConstruct	2015-09-30 13:41:54.372157623 -0400

Thanks for your report. Can you point to the upstream commit that fixes the problem? I've looked quickly into gpsd's git repository, and I don't see this problem fixed.

It looks like they fixed the problem by changing the #ifdefs in the code as opposed to changing the SConstruct file back
