Cross-compiling GPSD for Petalinux

[mcetinsoy]

Hello,

I'm currently new to the linux development.I've built a custom BSP for my zynqMP board. Now I want to add GPSD (http://www.catb.org/gpsd/) to the rootfs.

I'm following the petalinux-build flow. Apart from downloading the tarball and extracting it under apps-recipes how should I proceed?

Regards.

There is a yocto recipe here:

https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/recipe/1120/

Open the project-spec\meta-user\recipes-core\images\petalinux-image.bbappend

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " gpsd"

petalinux-config -c rootfs

user packages -> [*] gpsd

petalinux-build

Thank you. 

I also want to learn how to do this without the yocto recipe. I will be adding other libraries and apps to the rootfs. 

There are very few examples out there for cross compiling.

Thank you.

You can also build your own modules and apps in Petalinux. See ug1144 for help here

The equivalent in petalinux 2020.1 is adding CONFIG_gpsd to project-spec/meta-user/conf/user-rootfsconfig

Is there any options to add gpsd clients (cgps, gpsmon, xgps, ubxtool, ... ) also, or build them one by one and then add them like apps is the only way?
