Hi all,
Please forgive the somewhat newbie question (although I've been doing
compiles since SysV days in the early 80s), but I cannot for the life of me
get the debug trace log mode to compile in correctly using the latest
Debian Stretch installation on a Raspberry Pi. Hopefully someone can point
out what I'm doing wrong. I'm having some CAT problems and wanted to get
debug traces.
I first installed the prerequisites with "apt-get install" following this
page:
https://www.kk5jy.net/wsjtx-build/
I downloaded v2.0.1 and executed:
tar -zxvf wsjtx-2.0.1.tgz
mkdir build
cd build
I then executed "cmake-gui" and set the following switches on:
WSJT_TRACE_CAT=ON
WSJT_HAMLIB_TRACE=ON
WSJT_HAMLIB_VERBOSE_TRACE=ON
WSJT_QDEBUG_TO_FILE=ON
WSJT_QDEBUG_IN_RELEASE=ON
That generated the "CMakeCache.txt" file attached below, except that I
further edited it after "cmake-gui" to set the build to
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=RelWithDebInfo
After that, I made the application as usual:
make
sudo make install
It made a new executable in /usr/local/bin as expected, but when I ran
it, there is no sign of the "..trace.log" file in /tmp. Furthermore,
examining the binary shows I think that the needed debugging flags were
never set on compile based on the following:
cd /usr/local/bin
strings wsjtx | grep trace.log (returns no output)
I expected the above command to return a match since if
WSJT_QDEBUG_TO_FILE were really on at compile time, the following code from
"main.cpp" ought to have been included:
#if WSJT_QDEBUG_TO_FILE
// Open a trace file
TraceFile trace_file {temp_dir.absoluteFilePath (a.applicationName ()
+ "_trace.log")};
qSetMessagePattern ("[%{time MMdd HH:mm:ss.zzz t}
%{if-debug}D%{endif}%{if-info}I%{endif}%{if-warning}W%{endif}%{if-critical}C%{endif}%{if-fatal}F%{endif}]
%{file}:%{line} - %{message}");
qDebug () << program_title (revision ()) + " - Program startup";
#endif
The first statement after the "#if" means I should have been able to find
"trace.log" in a string within the compiled program somewhere. But I
didn't.
Any suggestions? Where did I mess up? I've spent a long time on this
one and I'm pretty stumped. By the way, I also tried a "Debug" build type
and that didn't work either.
