Here's how you can compile and install osso-gpsd and friends to OS2006 
(this time I did not actually test the installation part in 770, so I'm 
not sure did I get the order right. I've done it earlier though)

1. Get the sources

[sbox-SDK2.2_ARMEL: ~] > wget 
http://repository.maemo.org/pool/bora/free/source/osso-gpsd_0.8.tar.gz
[sbox-SDK2.2_ARMEL: ~] > wget 
http://repository.maemo.org/pool/bora/free/source/libgpsbt_0.1-18.tar.gz
[sbox-SDK2.2_ARMEL: ~] > wget 
http://repository.maemo.org/pool/bora/free/source/libgpsmgr_0.1-10.tar.gz

2. Compile and install the development packages to scratchbox

2.1  Compile osso-gpsd

[sbox-SDK2.2_ARMEL: ~] > tar xzf osso-gpsd_0.8.tar.gz
[sbox-SDK2.2_ARMEL: ~] > cd osso-gpsd-0.8
[sbox-SDK2.2_ARMEL: ~/osso-gpsd-0.8] > dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc 
-us -sa -D

2.2. Install osso-gpsd-dev to scratchbox

[sbox-SDK2.2_ARMEL: ~/osso-gpsd-0.8] > cd ..
[sbox-SDK2.2_ARMEL: ~] > dpkg -i osso-gpsd-dev_0.8_armel.deb

2.3. Compile libgpsmgr

[sbox-SDK2.2_ARMEL: ~] > tar xzf libgpsmgr_0.1-10.tar.gz
[sbox-SDK2.2_ARMEL: ~] > cd libgpsmgr-0.1
[sbox-SDK2.2_ARMEL: ~/libgpsmgr-0.1] > dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc 
-us -sa -D

2.4. Install libgpsmgr-dev to scratchbox

[sbox-SDK2.2_ARMEL: ~/libgpsmgr-0.1] > cd ..
[sbox-SDK2.2_ARMEL: ~] > dpkg -i libgpsmgr-dev_0.1-10_armel.deb

2.5. Compile libgpsbt

[sbox-SDK2.2_ARMEL: ~] > tar xzf libgpsbt_0.1-18.tar.gz
[sbox-SDK2.2_ARMEL: ~] > cd libgpsbt-0.1
[sbox-SDK2.2_ARMEL: ~/libgpsbt-0.1] > dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc 
-us -sa -D

3. Install osso-gpsd, libgpsmgr and libgpsbt to 770
---------------------------------------------------

1. Activate Red Pill mode in Application Manager

2. Install the packages in the right order

	- osso-gpsd_0.8_armel.deb
	- libgpsmgr_0.1-10_armel.deb
	- libgpsbt_0.1-18_armel.deb

3. Deactivate Red Pill mode if you like
