Hi David,

Well done!

Thanks for the comments. I have corrected the cmake installation 
instructions.

The asciidoctor tool is not a direct drop in replacement for asciidoc. 
It does claim to be but there are several differences, enough to make 
using a symlink unwise. Instead you can either install asciidcotor using 
the Ruby gem package management system or configure the WSJT-X build to 
skip the documentation build phase.

To install asciidoctor see the README file in the doc directory:

https://sourceforge.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/HEAD/tree/branches/wsjtx/doc/

To skip the documentation build phase, add the following to the WSJT-X 
build configuration step:

   -D WSJT_GENERATE_DOCS=OFF
