[Viking-devel] Routing not available in Viking 1.6.1 on Linux Mint 17.3

Hi,

when I tried to plan new bicycle tours I had to realize, that my viking
installation is unable to design routes.

My installation:
Viking 1.6.1 from package viking_1.6-1trustyppa1_amd64.deb
Linux Mint 17.3 64-bit KDE 4.13.2

I'm still using Viking 1.6.1, as installation of V 1.6.2 fails due to
missing dependencies
configure: error: Package requirements (
glib-2.0 >= 2.26
gthread-2.0 >= 2.2
gtk+-2.0 >= 2.16
gio-2.0 >= 2.12
) were not met:
-> not available for Linux Mint.

In my installation of Viking offline routing is broken. In the
preferences, the default routing engine is "OSRM". In the preferences,
the routing engine can't be changed.

After a complete re-installation the problem remains the same.

In the manual for Version 1.6 is written:
"16.4 Routing engine
It is possible to declare new routing engines.
The file is ~/.viking/routing.xml. An example of the file in the
distribution doc/examples/routing.xml.
The VikRoutingWebEngine allows to declare a routing engine available via
HTTP."

I can't find the respective files in my system.

Is there a fix for this problem? In Kubuntu 15.04 routing was working.

With best regards,

Christoph Rottleb

The online services that Viking uses to plan routing have removed the interfaces Viking uses and thus they no longer work in any version of Viking.

As far as I know there are no current compatible online services, although I'd gladly be corrected.

See some previous discussion about this (see points 2+3):

Here is my routing.xml, as of last week, YOURS was working. I haven't tried
OSRM in a while though.

Best,

Matt

I tried Your routing.xml. However it doesn't work as expected. When I
design a route with more than 2 trackpoints, YOURS creates the track as
the shortest connection from the first to the last trackpoint, but
disregards all trackpoints between them. OSRM doesn't work at all.
