Hi Clark,
We'll be happy to have you on the WSJT development team. As you have
probably noticed, we're pretty loosely organized. People work on what
interests them most, and what they are good at. We use this list for
most communications. When you're ready to be added to the group with
SVN "commit" permission, let me know your Berlios login name.
As for your question on build environment: on Windows, we're using the
MinGW version of Qt 5.2. You need g++ and gcc, and either g95 or
gfortran for the Fortran code. Bill, G4WJS, uses CMake and make; I use
QtCreator, qmake, and make. I actually still use QtCreator 2.7.2, which
came with Qt5.1, rather than v3.0 -- although 3.0 works fine for
everything I've tried *except* printing program listings. That has a
bug that we are told will be fixed when Qt 5.2.1 is released. With the
proper tools installed, and your working environment set correctly, no
code changes should be required for a good compile.

My name is Clark and my call sign is AL7EK. I am a retired professional
electrical engineer and software developer. While employed I did a lot of .net
development (industrial control, SCADA, data communications) but now that no
one is paying me, I don't have much interest in Microsoft. At home I have a
bunch of OSX and IOS devices. I've also dabbled with Linux quite a number of
times at home.
I'm familiar with C# and VB.net. I'm learning Python, QT, and Objective C but
I'm not competent with these yet. I know a little C and C++. I knew fortran
about 40 years ago when I studied it in engineering school.
If you'll have me, I'd like to help you guys develop WSJT-X. I can certainly
perform simple code changes, limited to my experience with C and Fortran.
While less exciting, I can also do testing and documentation.
I've tried to setup Netbeans on my iMac with OSX 10.8.5 to compile WSJT-X but
I'm having lots of problems doing that. I've set that aside since I think you
might be using QTCreator.
Right now I am trying to set up QTCreator 3.0.0 and QT 5.2.0 to build and run
wsjtx. I've had no luck so far. I am having to make quite a number of changes
to the source that doesn't seem reasonable…..lots of changes in header files.
I also am missing some libraries.
Before I bother you with my problems, I'm wondering if I'm even using the right
tools. Will I be able to build and run with QTCreator 3.0.0 and QT 5.2.0 or
should I have installed other versions? Please let me know what development
tools are being used to develop wsjtx.
I'd love to help on this project!
