When I attempted to compile from source,

Hi Paul,

the easiest way to build WSJT-X from sources on Linux is to use the combined WSJT-X and Hamlib tarball we provide at release time which you can find here for WSJT-X v2.0.0 RC4 https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt/files/wsjtx-2.0.0-rc4/ or on the project web page here https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx.html at the bottom.

You must install all the required dependencies, something like:

    sudo apt install build-essential git cmake gfortran fftw3-dev qtbase5-dev libqt5serialport5-dev libqt5multimedia5-plugins libqt5sql5-sqlite autoconf automake libtool texinfo libusb-1.0-0-dev libudev-dev

The basic build instructions go something like this:

1) fetch tarball,
2) unpack:

    mkdir -p ~/wsjtx-prefix/build
    cd !$/..
    tar xf ~/Downloads/wsjtx-2.0.0-rc4.tgz

3) configure package:
    cd build
    cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=.. -DWSJT_SKIP_MANPAGES=ON -DWSJT_GENERATE_DOCS=OFF ../wsjtx-2.0.0-rc4

4) build and install package:

    cmake --build ~/wsjtx-prefix/build --target install -- -j

Then you can run the locally installed application like this:

    ~/wsjtx-prefix/bin/wsjtx

This process above builds Hamlib and WSJT-X, the Hamlib version is the one we recommend, you do not need to build it separately nor install it anywhere. If it doesn't so smoothly just report back with the first error.
