WSJT-X for Alpine Linux

This repo contains a modified CMakeLists.txt taken from K1JT's original repo and modified to run on Alpine Linux.

Why

wsjt-x doesn't compile smoothly on Alpine Linux. The main reason is: it ships with a slightly outdated version of hamlib which contains a bug which makes it fail on Alpine. Furthermore, the URLs of the repositories in the original CMakeLists.txt is completely outdated.

Prerequisites

you need to apk add the following packages:

gfortran asciidoc asciidoctor cmake build-base qt5-qtmultimedia-dev qt5-qtserialport-dev qt5-qttools qt5-qttools-dev fftw-single-libs fftw-double-libs fftw-dev readline readline-dev libusb-dev portaudio-dev boost boost-dev eudev-dev

BUILD

check out the repo, then create a build directory and call cmake like this

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -D WSJTX_TAG=wsjtx-2.6.1 -D HAMLIB_TAG=Hamlib-4.5.5 ../wsjtx-2.6.1 .
cmake --build . --target=source

that will create a file wsjtx-2.6.1.tgz which then needs to be build like this:

	    $ tar xzf wsjtx-2.6.1.tgz
    $ mkdir build
    $ cd build
    $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DWSJT_SKIP_MANPAGES=ON -DWSJT_GENERATE_DOCS=OFF ../wsjtx-2.3.0
    $ cmake --build .
    $ sudo cmake --build . --target install

This repo contains a copy of the original text documents, but no source code.
