A C TCX file parser.
This parser consumes TCX files. It builds a set of nested, singly linked lists that correspond to the structure of a TCX file. It also aggregates the data and performs some basic statistical calculations, such as:
-
Split/lap:
- Speed average/maximum/minimum
- Heart rate average/maximum/minimum
- Cadence average/maximum/minimum
- Maximum and minimum elevation
- Total elevation gain / loss
- Grade adjusted time (in seconds)
-
Activity:
- Speed average/maximum/minimum
- Heart rate average/maximum/minimum
- Cadence average/maximum/minimum
- Maximum and minimum elevation
- Total elevation gain / loss
Each trackpoint contains latitude/longitude coordinates, if GPS data is present. It tracks the activities starting and ending points, total time, total distance, etc... You can get a better understanding of the various bits of data that can be extracted by looking at the data structures in tcx.h.
On Mac, libxml2 needs to be installed and needs to find it's way in to the include path. Traditional methods failed me and what I ended up with was symlinking the Homebrew install path to the include path. Not great, but it works.
