Hi All, as most Linux distros are starting to include Qt 5 in their stable official repos and because we are statically linking the Hamlib we are using at present it is possible for us to generate packages that could be submitted to those repositories without falling foul of their strict entry requirements.
To this end I am working through the WSJT-X CMake/CPack package generation for Linux with the aim to fully automate package generation for Debian and RPM style packages. Richard (KF5OIM) who is our Fedora RPM packaging expert tells me that the CMake/CPack tools fall short of actually creating a suitable RPM package but nevertheless the closer we can get, the smoother the process will be for any downstream packager like Richard. With Debian packages I think I can get pretty close to a suitable package straight out of the CMake/CPack build. One of the requirements for a Linux package is a man page for each executable distributed. This can be reduced to a single man page that is shared by each program (for example wsjtx and jt9 could be written up as a single application). So has anyone written a man page for wsjtx? I am putting man page generation into the build using asciidoc as a source format and don't want to duplicate any effort that has been made elsewhere. 73 Bill G4WJS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
