Build instructions:

BlueGps can be build as part of an Android ROM like Replicant with the following steps:
Clone the repository to the apps folder in the source code tree:
git clone https://code.fossencdi.org/BlueGPS.git packages/apps/BlueGps
Then add "BlueGps" to the PRODUCT_PACKAGES list, so it is automatically included in your next build.
I have it added the following way in the vendor/replicant folder:
--- a/config/common.mk
+++ b/config/common.mk
