All:

This would appear to be an appropriate time to mention I have a Linux build
script for downloading the WSJT-X sources for a specific version and
building them and installing them.

They were previously tested roughly two months ago and support Ubuntu,
Fedora, Mint, Fedora and Raspberry Pi OS.

GitHub link:
https://github.com/dslotter/ham_radio_scripts/blob/main/update_wsjtx_from_src

This is an open source project. Feel free to submit any issues or pull
requests to the GitHub project.

73,
