Hi Barry,
I am aware of the issue that patch resolves, unfortunately we have to
support Qt back to v5.5 and it is only later that the Qt provided CMake
files have the necessary definitions for those macros to work. Rather
than start adding Qt version specific checks to the WSJT-X CMake script
I have decided to hod off for now on this change.
I would imagine that most distros will be moving to 5.11 soon, we have
just done it ready for the next release due early next year.
I assume you are aware that the source tarball generated by the
wsjtx-superbuild project can contain patches for both WSJT-X and Hamlib
sources that will be automatically applied when the package is built?
Yes, I have that working now, however I have not found a way to apply a
patch during package build rather than in the tarball creation.
At the normal point in the rpm spec where the tarball has been extracted
and patches are applied, the actual sources are still in the two
sub-tarballs and not extracted until the make process. IIUC.
Extracting the sub-tarballs in /src and patching there failed as I
suspect they were extracted again without the patch.
It is mentioned 'briefly' that this is possible in the README - any
pointers?
While the wsjtx-superbuild system is working fine and can add *one*
patch for wsjtx it is very unusual and I would prefer to be able to use
your published release tarballs and patch those if necessary, to make
the package more 'normal'. It would also allow for a proper URL direct
to the sources (as is normally required) rather than having to package a
script to create the tarball.
If that is not really possible without jumping through massive hoops and
more complication then so be it, I am happy to keep things as they are.
Hope that makes sense.
