One of the beautiful things about FreeBSD is building out of the ports
collection. Everything is built from source, so it should not matter if
you are on 11, 12 or 13. I would encourage an update to 13 if you have
a non-production machine, simply because that is where people seem to be
doing all the software building these days. Otherwise, leave a
production machine alone.
You will see warnings as WSJT-X compiles with several declared but
unused variables. This is true on all platforms. Joe assures us that
many of these warnings will be cleaned up soon. The warnings do not
effect the operation of WSJT-X or the build.
If you make the jump to 13. Install: GCC-10_4, QT5, Ruby and Gems prior
to starting your build. This will save time, dependencies will be built
from source if not installed. For example, if gcc is not installed, it
will be built from source. Which takes most of the day. Yes, I found
out from the school of hard knocks... :-) The other minor dependencies
like pulseaudio build quickly enough to not worry about.
If your build on 12 falls over, please document it. I can forward it
upstream to the FreeBSD team to fix a broken port.

Thanks Jeff.
I'm running 12.X currently but 2.5.4 seems to build fine for me at
least I could try to re-run the build and watch for any warnings or
errors.. is it a matter of needing to jump to the 13.X version train?
or should it still work under 12.X?
Thanks again

That has been fixed and WSJT-X 2.5.4 builds out of the ports
collection on FreeBSD 13.
portsnap fetch update
make install clean
WSJT-X 2.5.4 builds and installs without error.
Oh, and thanks for the reminder to send Diane the request to add the
binary to the package collection.

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone had seen the following error it usually
happens when I try to double click on another callsign to start
attempting to make a contact Ive tried removing and rebuilding the
configuration and tried changing a few settings in the software to
try to find a work around but so far no luck. if anyone has any tip,
suggestions, etc it would be much appreciated, if this is not the
right place I can always try to follow up with the FreeBSD porters
team.
Fortran runtime error: Actual string length is shorter than the
declared one for dummy argument 'msgsent' (-4294967274/22)
Thanks, again!
