[gpsd-dev] trouble with new gpsd API 5

[Kevron Rees]

I seem to be having trouble with the new API on Ubuntu 12.04.  I try to 
open up a connection to gpsd and I get a -1, unknown error.  Here is the 
relevant code snippit:

#if(GPSD_API_MAJOR_VERSION >= 5)
    int ret = gps_open("localhost","2947", gps);

    if(ret != 0)
    {
        qWarning("failed to open gps");
        qDebug()<<"return value: "<<ret;
        (void)fprintf(stderr,"no gpsd running or network error: %d, %s\n",
                              errno, gps_errstr(errno));
        return;
    }
#else
    gps = gps_open("localhost","2947");

#endif

    if(gps)
    {
        gps_stream(gps, WATCH_ENABLE | WATCH_JSON, NULL);

        QTimer *timer = new QTimer(this);
        timer->setInterval(1000);

        connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(updateGpsposition()));

        timer->start();
    }

The old API still works.  I'm wondering if I'm doing something obviously 
wrong with the new API.

cheers,
