Hi Adam--

I compiled it yesterday, but these notes are not guaranteed to be 100%.
This was done to a Debian 9 machine, fully patched, which had previously
used the JTSDK to build WSJT-X 1.9.1.  I took the latest source snapshot
for 2.0.0 RC3.  These are new dependencies and musings/considerations
(written for myself):

Create a jtsource directory and decompress the source there.
Decide on a destination executable directory and create that also.
For example .local and/or a version-specific directory name.  And that
should be indicated in the later cmake command (example below is only
.local):

These appeared to be necessary dependencies:
g++
gfortran-6
libfftw3-dev
libqt5x11extras5-dev
lib-qt5serialport
lib-qt5serialport-dev
libtool
libudev-dev
libusb-1.0.0-dev
python-pkgconfig
python-pyqt5
qtmultimedia5-dev
texinfo

sudo cmake -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="/usr/bin/g++" -D
CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER="/usr/bin/gfortran-6" -D
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/.local .

sudo cmake --build . --target install

Possibly necessary also:

python-pyqt5.qtmultimedia

I'm not sure this helps anyone, but it compiled on Debian for me -- and
something similar should work for most Debian-based distros.
