Building against hamlib 4.0 (clean bullseye chroot) fails with errors like this: /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/Transceiver/HamlibTransceiver.cpp:60:66: error: ‘RIG_CAPS_MFG_NAME_CPTR’ was not declared in this scope 60 | key = QString::fromLatin1 (rig_get_caps_cptr (rig_model, RIG_CAPS_MFG_NAME_CPTR)).trimmed () | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are 51 errors in total. > Hamlib doesn't seem as compatible as the no-soname-change suggests, I > also had to recompile fldigi to have it work with Hamlib 4.3 here (at > least via rigctld). In that case, it sounds like the next step is try to backport to wsjtx 2.5.x to hamlib 4.0. Cheers, tony
