Building gpsd on Debian 11 (Bullseye)

[Charles Curley]

I'm working on updating the build instructions in build.adoc.


Two python packages have gone away in the transition from Buster to
Bullseye, python-gobject-2-dev and python-cairo-dev. Building (scons
--config=force) seems to work without them.


I also get:

Checking Python module matplotlib... (cached) 
WARNING: gpsplot is missing required runtime module matplotlib


xgps is not working correctly:

$ xgps: can't load Python gps libraries -- check PYTHONPATH.
No module named 'gps'

It looks like the gps python libraries are installed but:

charles@iorich:~$ python

Does anybody read signatures any more?
