Re: Question about gpsd library/linking for an external gpsd client?

[Gary E. Miller]

Yo All!

I found out why the libgps.so is not being installed.  Actually, it
is being installed, then deleted.  From "scons install" output:

rm -f //usr/local/lib/libgps.*
Install file: "libgps.so.27.0.0" as "/usr/local/lib/libgps.so.27.0.0"
strip /usr/local/lib/libgps.so.27.0.0
Delete("gps/packet.so")
rm -f //usr/local/lib/libgps.*
Install file: "libgpsdpacket.so.27.0.0" as 
"/usr/local/lib/libgpsdpacket.so.27.0.0"

First old libs are removed.  The libgps.so.27.0.0 is installed, then old
libs are removed AGAIN, then the new libgpsdpacket.so for Python is installed.

This line in SCostruct controls the rm:

env.AddPreAction(binaryinstall, 'rm -f %s/libgps.*' % (installdir('libdir'), ))

AddPreAction() was added in 2015.  It was intended to run once, before
the rest of binary install.  But it runs once before each item of
the install, and with the new item, it runs twice and breaks the lib
install.
