Hi David,
I think you underestimate how many people use WSJT and WSJT-X on Linux!
Perhaps. Linux usage is increasing, to be sure. We may soon have a
tool for tracking usage by platform, and find out.
The software that you and the WSJT team is *very* popular these days! I
feel it's Linux share is growing and growing and I agree with Chuck,
WA7KGX that less and less Linux users are using 32bit OSes. Sure, we can
install the various 32bit libraries but it really does bloat things up
when it really shouldn't be necessary.
In these days of cheap terrabyte disks, a MB or so of extra libraries
can hardly be counted as "bloat".
Understanding that KVASD is closed sourced, maybe someone could compile
a 64bit version to be available next to the 32bit version? For me, I'm
running Centos 6.5 with glibc-2.12, libgcc-4.4.7, gcc-gfortran-4.4.7,
qt-x11-4.8.4, and fftw-3.2.1.
We have done so on some platforms, but it's not an effective use of my
time to do it repeatedly, on every *nix distribution that's around. I
am far more interested (and my time is far better spent) in developing
new features and better performance.
