Radarbox24 do NOT (yet) provide their feeder sofware for amd64 / x86_64 computers.
I have forked source-code of airnavsystem/rbfeeder at Github. The last update to airnavsystem source code was made 4 years ago when Bullseys was the latest OS. Now this code fails to compile on Bookworm, Trixie, Jammy & Noble.
I made necessary modifications to my forked copy of airnavsystem/rbfeeder code, and now it compiles successfully on Bookworm, Trixie, Jammy, and Noble.
Using source-code of my updated fork, I have compiled rbfeeder packages on PC running following AMD64 / x86_64 OS
(1) Debian 13 Trixie
(2) Ubuntu 24 Noble
I have uploaded these packages to my GitHub repository.
Using following method, anyone can download & install these pre-built packages on their PC / Laptop running amd64 / x86_64 version of Debian 13 (Trixie) or Ubuntu 24 (Noble) :
(1) DEBIAN 13 TRIXIE
