Follow the "Building WSJT-X from the Self-Contained Source Tarball"
instructions in the INSTALL file.
The only things that should affect you with Ubuntu 20.04 are:
Line 34 (Debian name):
libqt5libserialport5-dev
should be:
libqt5serialport5-dev
Line 35 (Debian name):
libusb-1.0.0-dev
should be:
libusb-1.0-0-dev
Line 128:
$ tar xzf wsjtx-2.0.0.tgz
should be:
$ tar xzf wsjtx-2.2.2.tgz
Line 131:
$ cmake -DWSJT_SKIP_MANPAGES=ON -DWSJT_GENERATE_DOCS=OFF ../wsjtx-2.0.0
should be:
$ cmake -DWSJT_SKIP_MANPAGES=ON -DWSJT_GENERATE_DOCS=OFF ../wsjtx-2.2.2
