gps on Android x86 3.2

[DIng Li]

Hi, I am trying to use a USB GPS on Android x86 3.2, I have already compiled pl2303 driver in kernel and I have /dev/ttyUSB0 file. But the location manager cannot detect the GPS. I have tried the InternalGPS but it cannot get the signals.... I also tried the jch.shin's method on https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-x86/01Abk2leVjI, but it is not working.

I found there is gps.c under the hardware folder, but it seems that it will not be visited during compiling. I tried to add BOARD_HAS_GPS_HARDWARE := true in build/target/generic_x86/BoardConfig.mk, but it is not working. 

Is there any one knows how to make it work? Is there any one knows how to compile the hardware/gps.c?

For LocationManager to understand GPS location from the physical hardware, you will have to install GAPI and also make some changes in settings xmls
