Location Framework Module is a middleware component which is responsible for providing geo-information
Location framework is a service which provides the APIs to Application Layer for getting geo-in formations.LFW will obtain geo-information from various positioning sources, such as GPS, WPS (Wi-Fi Positioning System), Cell ID based positioning System. These services will be registered initially with the Luna system bus and Applications use these services through the Luna system calls.
Below are the tools and libraries (and their minimum versions) required to build location:
- cmake (version required by openwebos/cmake-modules-webos)
- gcc 4.6.3
- glib-2.0 2.32.1
- geoclue.0.12.99
- dbus-glib.0.100
- dbus
- make (any version)
- openwebos/pbnjson
- openwebos/cmake-modules-webos 1.0.0 RC3
- openwebos/luna-service2 3.0.0
- openwebos/nyx-lib 2.0.0 RC2
- pkg-config 0.26
Once you have downloaded the source, enter the following to build it (after changing into the directory under which it was downloaded):
$ mkdir BUILD
$ cd BUILD
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ sudo make install
The directory under which the files are installed defaults to /usr/local/webos
.
You can install them elsewhere by supplying a value for WEBOS_INSTALL_ROOT
when invoking cmake
. For example:
$ cmake -D WEBOS_INSTALL_ROOT:PATH=$HOME/projects/openwebos ..
$ make
$ make install
will install the files in subdirectories of $HOME/projects/openwebos
.
Specifying WEBOS_INSTALL_ROOT
also causes pkg-config
to look in that tree
first before searching the standard locations. You can specify additional
directories to be searched prior to this one by setting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
environment variable.
If not specified, WEBOS_INSTALL_ROOT
defaults to /usr/local/webos
.
To configure for a debug build, enter:
$ cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug ..
To see a list of the make targets that cmake
has generated, enter:
$ make help
From the directory where you originally ran make install
, enter:
$ [sudo] make uninstall
You will need to use sudo
if you did not specify WEBOS_INSTALL_ROOT
.
