Toolchain
In order to compile on Linux you need the TomTom toolchain.
Libraries used
The needed libraries are simply recompiled for the ARM processor used by on the TomTom so AirNavigator can load them as dynamic libraries.
Acknowledgements
Thanks to the user "frizione" of vfrflight.net forum, who, during the really first development, tested the application first on a ferry boat and then on his ultralight airplane allowing me to improve some aspects.
