That is quite possible.  Have I over or under estimated its capabilities?

I am aware of at least that much, including its provision of items
such as hamlib.

Are you telling me that there is a command or script that does
all the steps necessary?

are you refering to my building hamlib or to the above mentioned
canned commands?

The JTSDK group seems to be a rather secretive one.  From the WSJT home page
https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/index.html
I click on Program Development and at the bottom of the development page
there is ¨Further details and download links can be found here¨.
That takes me to https://sourceforge.net/projects/jtsdk/
Clicking JTSDK website just takes me to where I already am.
In general this site doesn´t look too promising or at least I haven´t gotten
to the point where I can find support.

The last few lines I feel might be a bit off topic anyway.  The INSTALL
file that is included with the wsjtx source

http://svn.code.sf.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/branches/wsjtx/INSTALL

discusses building for the different platforms with mention
of tools of choice for each.  the requirements and commands for the
other platforms are provided as they should be for any package.
The Windows section should be no different.  Maybe I am missing something
but why shouldn't the WSJTX INSTALL file give the build process as it
does for other platforms?
