Hi John,
AC0ZG wrote> 2) For the wsjtx developers: It's tough to release binary
packages that
cover the wide range of linux releases. But you can greatly increase
the chance of things working by linking statically against smaller
libraries like libreadline. Of course, you could link statically against
everything, and it might be worth experimenting with that to see how big
wsjtx gets. ...
We put a lot of effort into making sure we provide effective
click-to-install packages for Windows and OS X. We also try to make
sure there are straightforward paths to installing and using WSJT-X in
any of the wide range of *nix flavors.
As you say, it's tough to release binary packages that cover the wide
range of linux releases. We try to make it easy for other packagers to
do this last step. And we take the point of view that many (most?) ham
Linux users are rather more sophisticated, computer-wise, than the much
larger number using Win or Mac. Sometimes they need to do some of the work.
We're always looking for new volunteers interested in helping with any
of these tasks.
