I've been avoiding that one because it's so large. I've got a working
parallel install with 2.8 but it's not in Fedora proper so I would have to
provide it like Mike did as part of a 3rd part repository. Although the
spec file for RPMs and debs are VERY different, you might be able steal the
same ideas to create your own parallel installable package.

I haven't done this before, but if the project would do a semi-official
release where I could pull in codec2, I could build it like I'm doing the
others, only dynamically instead of statically and do a full install of
codec2 with all the binaries instead of just statically linking to the
library only. I'm pretty sure I could link the "make install" part so it
would install codec2 and fdmdv2.

I've heard that moveing to hamlib is the long term option, but haven't seen
any coding to that effect.

Not sure here, and I agree it's a major pain. The Fedora maintainer doesn't
want to deal with it because 2.9 is a development version so there is no
guarantee of abi/api changes. Once 3.0 is released, he'll update to it.

I've received a few "good" signals but I'm not sure I'm getting out. I know
my setup otherwise works because I'm using FLDigi for other digital modes
quite successfully.

Yup! Now I just need lots of testers. I'm pretty confident that it will
work for linux and even mingw systems. I built codec2 fine under mingw but
running a mingw build on top of a XP VM on top linux the portaudio build
stalled and I gave up on it.
