This project doesn't work on MS Windows. This is because the
|
|
environment required to build Hamlib, a MinGW environment, is not
|
|
suitable for building the WSJT-X application. The WSJT-X build,
|
|
because of the way Qt applications must be built, requires a modified
|
|
MS DOS command environment. The two environments are incompatible and
|
|
cannot easily be used in a common build script like the one in this
|
|
project.
|
|
|
|
Although this project will probably work on Apple Mac OS X, it is
|
|
incomplete since on that platform there are several other dependencies
|
|
and tools required that are not available as standard on a Mac. See
|
|
the WSJT-X project for a suitable recipe for building WSJT-X on a Mac.
|
|
|
|
Debian and RPM packages generated directly by this project are not yet
|
|
suitable for submission to official distributions. This is mainly due
|
|
to limitations in the CPack package generators invoked by CPack. This
|
|
doesn't preclude the two phase build method being used to make and
|
|
build from a source tarball. It just means that package maintainers
|
|
will probably have to develop their own package control files.
|
|
|
|
Currently this project makes use of a forked Hamlib git repository,
|
|
use of forks of dependent libraries is not recommended by official
|
|
Linux distributions but we have little choice at present. All patches
|
|
made in the Hamlib fork are being submitted upstream so soon a fork
|
|
will not be required. At this point a snapshot of the Hamlib git
|
|
master may be substituted. Using a snapshot (or a patch generated from
|
|
it) may also be problematic as well. When the Hamlib team make a
|
|
release of Hamlib v3 and that is accepted into the official Linux
|
|
repositories; the need for a fork or snapshot will no longer be
|
|
necessary. At that point this project will probably be obsolete as the
|
|
WSJT-X build script and source kit will be sufficient. |
