Hello List,

I have been updating some machines to WSJT-X 2.3.0 for testing and
implementing the new FST4 and FST4W modes in OpenWebRX.

While doing so, I noticed that the WSPR decoding stopped working on these
hosts. For reference: The decoding process for all WSJT-X modes in
OpenWebRX uses the command-line binaries (jt9 and wsprd) and feeds them
with already "chopped" audio files.

While analyzing, I found that wsprd command-line utility seems to fail
whenever the "-a" option is not specified. The usage message states that
the option should have a fallback, but it seems like that part is failing
for some reason:

-a <path> path to writeable data files, default="."

The corresponding error message:

Error: inaccessible data directory: '(null)'

I was able to fix this for now by passing "-a ." to the process, but given
the usage message I'd consider this a bug (albeit a minor one). I have not
looked at the code at this point, but I can do so if necessary.

Also: I don't remember this kind of error in RC2, although I would need to
downgrade one of my machines to be able to make a final statement on this.

Thank you and 73s
Jakob DD5JFK
