Do not do any of this, it is left for when opkg-installs are compatible, or building these packages work on the zaxxon pandora repo.

mod rana

eSpeak installation (optional)

Since eSpeak is already available in Angstrom repository, it can be easily installed from there. It's small, no need to worry that it will eat much of your NAND. Startup terminal and type:

sudo opkg update

(optional, just to make sure that you have the latest list of available packages)

sudo opkg install espeak

gpsd

Installation

It can be installed through opkg, however the version currently in the Angstrom repos is too new for some applications (specifically tangoGPS). However if you want to install it this way you can by running:

sudo opkg update http://www.angstrom/distribution.org/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/armv7a/base
sudo opkg install http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/armv7a/base/gpsd-conf_2.95-r10.0.6_armv7a.ipk
sudo opkg install http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/armv7a/base/gpsd-udev_2.95-r10.0.6_armv7a.ipk
sudo opkg install http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/armv7a/base/libgps19_2.95-r10.0.6_armv7a.ipk
sudo opkg install http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/armv7a/base/libgpsd0_2.95-r10.0.6_armv7a.ipk
sudo opkg install http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/armv7a/base/gpsd-gpsctl_2.95-r10.0.6_armv7a.ipk
sudo opkg install http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/armv7a/base/gpsd_2.95-r10.0.6_armv7a.ipk

Now if you do want the older version which does work with tangoGPS, you must download it from here. Put that file somewhere convenient, like the root of an SD card. You can still use opkg to install it, for example if you have it on the root of the right hand side SD card:

sudo opkg install /media/mmcblk1p1/gpsd_2.38-r0.1_armv7a.ipk

TangoGPS

Installation

Until someone makes a PND, you can use opkg:

sudo opkg update
sudo opkg install tangogps

You should now find TangoGPS in the "other" category of the menu.
