Qt Position plugin for gpsd

Tested with Qt 5.4.1

For making the plugin accessible from your application, there are a number of standard locations for it:

• the global plugin directory (e.g. $QTDIR/plugins)
• a local subdirectory of your application folder (position for position plugins)

More information about plugins are to be found in the Qt documentation. For debugging plugin resolution it can be useful to set the environment variable QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS to 1. The plugin itself will print debug output if compiled with CONFIG += debug.

The satelliteinfo example from the qtlocation module can be used for quick testing.

By default, the plugin tries to connect to a locally running gpsd at the standard port 2947. This behaviour can be adjusted by setting the environment variables GPSD_HOST and GPSD_PORT.
