Hi All, further to Greg's post about the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS release and my other posts helping David VK4BDJ getting back up to speed building WSJT-X on Linux; I have taken the opportunity to build a pair of Ubuntu 14.04 systems (one 64-bit and the other 32-bit) and document all the steps required to get a running WSJT-X application.
The steps are virtually identical between 32 & 64-bit with a small difference in the pre-requisite packages. The build of Ubuntu I used was the Desktop edition which I installed from the ISO and applied all updates. Default options were chosen throughout. The following instructions use the Qt5 available from the Ubuntu repository which is Qt 5.2.1 so there is no need to install the Qt package from qt-project.org unless you want to try Qt 5.3. I prefer clang as my C++ compiler, either it or g++ can be used. clang IMHO gives better error diagnostics. In a terminal do the following. for 64-bit: sudo apt-get install cmake subversion clang-3.5 gfortran \ libfftw3-dev git libgfortran3:i386 libusb-dev autoconf libtool \ texinfo qt5-default qtmultimedia5-dev libqt5multimedia5-plugins for 32-bit: sudo apt-get install cmake subversion clang-3.5 gfortran \ libfftw3-dev git libusb-dev autoconf libtool texinfo \ qt5-default qtmultimedia5-dev libqt5multimedia5-plugins from now on the steps are the same for both 32 & 64-bit systems, adjust paths to your preferences if required. mkdir ~/src cd ~/src/ git clone git://git.code.sf.net/u/bsomervi/hamlib u-bsomervi-hamlib cd u-bsomervi-hamlib/ git checkout integration mkdir -p ~/build/hamlib cd ~/build/hamlib/ ~/src/u-bsomervi-hamlib/autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/local/hamlib --disable-shared make && make install cd ~/src/ svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/branches/wsjtx wsjtx mkdir -p ~/build/wsjtx/Release cd ~/build/wsjtx/Release/ cmake -D CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:PATH=~/local/hamlib \ -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/local/wsjtx/Release \ ~/src/wsjtx cmake --build . --target install -- -kj That's it, you should have a runnable WSJT-X, to test: ~/local/wsjtx/Release/bin/wsjtx If you plan to join the development effort; then you might want to ask for developer access to the WSJT repository on SourceForge and then change the checkout URL above to a personal read-write one or even use git-svn which is my preference. git-svn users may use the '--standard-layout' option when cloning the repository if they wish but the repository layout isn't currently optimal for that. 73 Bill G4WJS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
