Re: [gpsd-dev] tpc feed does not work an darwin?

[Claus Klein]

Hi all,

I found my problem:

claus-kleins-macbook-pro:gpsd clausklein$ ./gpsd -h

usage: gpsd [-b] [-n] [-N] [-D n] [-F sockfile] [-G] [-P pidfile] [-S port] [-h] device...

  Options include: 

  -b        = bluetooth-safe: open data sources read-only

  -n    = don't wait for client connects to poll GPS

  -N    = don't go into background

  -F sockfile     = specify control socket location

  -G            = make gpsd listen on INADDR_ANY

  -P pidfile          = set file to record process ID 

  -D integer (default 0)      = set debug level 

  -S integer (default 2947) = set port for daemon 

  -h        = help message 

  -V    = emit version and exit.

A device may be a local serial device for GPS input, or a URL of the form:

     {dgpsip|ntrip}://[user:address@hidden:port][/stream]

     gpsd://host[:port][/device][?protocol]

in which case it specifies an input source for GPSD, DGPS or ntrip data.

(by the way, the tcp feed is not explained as option)

I have to use the -n option too:

But there are still problems with ipv6:

claus-kleins-macbook-pro:gpsd clausklein$ sudo ./gpsd -n -N -D 3 tcp://[::FFFF:192.168.1.130]:11123

claus-kleins-macbook-pro:gpsd clausklein$ 

I think, the -n option should be the default, because the protocol is checked to late:

claus-kleins-macbook-pro:gpsd clausklein$ sudo ./gpsd -N -D 3 XXX://192.168.1.130:11123

about a view minutes later, when a gpsd clients connect to server the will be this error:
