Steve,
there is no need to follow the build instructions in the project git
repo if you are building to run. Maybe if you are building to contribute
patches. The INSTALL file in the sources tarball we provide contains
complete instructions for building a working WSJT-X for Linux. Please
don't over-complicate a relatively simple recipe for building.

Rob,
There is no repo that you can just “drop and run” for WSJTX 2.2.2 –
You really need to compile your own !!!!
Go to the JTSDK @ GROUPS.IO site. I have a post there for dependencies
etc. needed to build your own WSJTX on Ubuntu 20.04.
i.e.
https://groups.io/g/JTSDK/topic/some_dependencies_requisites/75311015?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,75311015
Then follow the steps inside the INSTALL files (the top level one in
the repo and then the main set of steps inside WSJTX.TGZ)

tarball
Hi Bill and David,
Could I find a source tarball which builds on Ubuntu 20.04? I have
several wsprdaemon sites which want to move to 20.02.
My attempt to follow David's instructions have failed and I have so
much other SW to work on that I don't want to reinvent the wheel.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi David,
I am not ruling out portable packaging, I just don't think it
should be the prime focus of a small and busy development team. If
someone makes a portable package, commit to keep it up to date,
and it gets some traction amongst Linux users of WSJT-X; then
that's fine.
I assume you realize that the WSJT-X CMake build script already
knows how to make a basic Debian or RPM package, the package
target does that if run on a suitable machine. You would be better
to use a git checkout rather than the combined WSJT-X sources
tarball with bundled Hamlib. That would mean separately installing
Hamlib, which is not hard and the WSJT-X repo INSTALL file
(different from the one in the combined sources tarball) has a
recipe. Making a package is no more than invoking `make package`
or `cmake --build --target package`.

Bill-
Just got a new wsjt digest where you answered a question about
Flatpak. From your answer, that doesn't seem to be the correct
direction.
Since I like to be on the latest distro of Ubuntu, maybe I
should learn to make a deb and give you guys that to post?
Basically I'm looking for some pointers on how to best help
the project.

I just built 2.2.2 on Ubuntu 20.04 and noticed a few
things that should be fixed in the INSTALL file in the
2.2.2 tarball. Some of them are cosmetic. Some are actual
errors if you follow the steps (line 131). Just my way to
try and help the project!
