Is there a Linux amd64 / x86_64 version from piaware available, for example for the UP Board ?
Prepackaged? No. But you should be able to build from source on x86(_64) debian systems fairly easily: github.com/flightaware/piaware_builder
How good is your Linux command line knowledge?
You will need to be basically comfortable with that first.
I built a package on an Intel Atom thin client by following this thread (and adapting the file names to suit - check what is created with the ‘ls’ (LS) command).
post177419.html#p177419
You will get some files ending with something like dump1090-mutability_1.15~dev_x86.deb instead of e.g. dump1090-mutability_1.15~dev_armhf.deb
I first made a vanilla install of Debian and added the user ‘Pi’ and built from there.
This is from memory of some months ago and I am on holiday so can’t check/validate anything.
Ah, obj posted whilst I was typing my reply 
Ok, i think i need a little bit more help OBJ,and it’s only for Airspy not Dump1090
This what i tried:
sudo apt-get install git-core
mkdir git
cd git
git clone https://github.com/flightaware/piaware_builder.git
cd piaware_builder
chmod +x sensible-build.sh
sh sensible-build.sh jessie
cd package-jessie
dpkg-buildpackage -b
but then i get:
dpkg-buildpackage: source package piaware
dpkg-buildpackage: source version 3.0.3
dpkg-buildpackage: source distribution stable
dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by Oliver Jowett oliver@mutability.co.uk
dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture amd64
dpkg-source --before-build package-jessie
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: tcl8.6-dev autoconf python3-dev (>= 3.2) python3-venv libz-dev dh-systemd
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)
You need to install the build prerequisites that it lists (sudo apt-get install tcl8.6-dev autoconf python3-dev python3-venv libz-dev dh-systemd)
Ok thanks OBJ that did the trick
dpkg-buildpackage -b
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i piaware_3.0.3_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -fy
sudo /etc/init.d/piaware start
But id did not start piaware
sudo piaware-config -status
piaware is not running
try a reboot.
That did’nt help, i think the problem is v3.0.3 itself
check logs
/var/log/piaware.log
/var/log/dump1090.log
/var/log/messages
lsusb
etc
The jessie package is set up for systemd, try systemctl start piaware
(I don’t think the init.d script should even be installed, but I can’t remember how that is set up)
Also I think piaware-status might be broken. Check if piaware is running by hand.
/var/log/piaware.log

Ok did some edit on /etc/piaware.conf and working perfect with v3.0.3
Restarting piaware (via systemctl): piaware.service.

I will certainly recommend this thread for other users. Thanks!
I am sorry to bring up an old thread, but I am having some issues.
I am trying to compile piaware onto an x86 machine. I am able to compile everything, but the DEB file doesn’t install dump1090 or anything else OTHER than piaware. Am I doing something wrong? It is trying to install the 3.5.0 version of the software.
Thanks in advance!
That is normal; the piaware package is just the data feeder, you need to also provide a source for the data such as dump1090.
You can build a dump1090-fa package from github.com/flightaware/dump1090-fa
Thanks for the quick reply! I was under the impression that dump1090 was included as it was referenced inside the package. Maybe this is just the code that allows it to work with dump1090 though.
Anyways I was able to get it working. Thanks again!
Just for info: today I built amd64 version. With standard settings I received error message about signature.
To build it you need to modify:
from
dpkg-buildpackage -b
to:
dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -us
@MDA0803
Thanks for the helpful info.
Did you install dump1090-fa on amd64/x86_64? Did it also need -uc -us?
