=== Step 2: Tweak /etc/init.d/libgpsbt ===
+
2. Edit /etc/init.d/libgpsbt and change all instances of "user:users" to "YOURUSERNAME:users" There should be 2 instances you need to change.

=== Step 3: Change ownership ===
+
3. Run:
-
Run:
+
  chown -R YOURUSERNAME:users /var/lib/gps
  chown -R YOURUSERNAME:users /var/lib/gps
-
=== Step 4: Make the necessary files ===
+
4. Make the following files:
-
Make the following files:
+
/etc/default/gps5300driver.conf:

-
=== Step 5: Copy gpsdriver ===
+
5. Run
-
Make a copy of gpsdriver to prevent confusion
+
  cp /usr/sbin/gpsdriver /usr/sbin/gps5300driver
  cp /usr/sbin/gpsdriver /usr/sbin/gps5300driver
-
=== Step 6: Install libgps5300faker.so ===
+
6. Put libgps5300faker.so in /usr/lib (Not posted anywhere yet):
-
First of all, install the necessary packages (they may be removed later, this may be an excessive list or an incomplete list. Basically keep installing stuff until it stops complaining):
+
  cp /path/to/libgps5300faker.so /usr/lib
-
  apt-get install build-essential m4 automake autoconf
+
-
Make the following files somewhere (they may be removed later):
+
7. Reboot:
