I have > not yet built kvasd 1.12 for OSX and ARM, so that still needs to be done. I'm not sure that is correct. There is commented out code in extract.F90 that was waiting for 1.12. The reason being that WSJT-X has to run with a cwd in a temporary directory and arrange to copy kvasd.dat into that directory. IIRC the changes to kvasd 1.12 were to allow a full path to kvasd.dat to be passed to kvasd and therefore allow it to be run from any cwd.
This all dates back to changes made to get rid of code writing files in the install directories. The reason I put the code in to use the temporary directory cwd was because at the time there was no Mac version of kavsd 1.12 produced. While the workaround in WSJT-X does work, it adds complexity and has since had other impacts causing even more complexity. > > Temporarily, so that people here can test them on suitable systems, I've > posted the following versions of kvasd at > http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/kvasd/ > > kvasd_1.11_arm* > kvasd_1.11_osx32* > kvasd_1.11_osx64* > kvasd_1.12.exe* > kvasd_1.12_linux32* > kvasd_1.12_linux64* > > To use one of these with WSJT, WSJT-X, or MAP65 you will need to rename > it -- probably to kvasd (Linux, OS X) or to kvasd.exe (Windows). Currently the WSJT-X build still has the capability of fetching kvasd and still does so for everything but Linux non-Debug configurations. This is to make testing WSJT-X relatively seamless and also goes as far as bundling kvasd into installers on Windows and Mac non-Debug configure builds and packaging. Should I remove this capability? > > -- Joe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
