Hi Karl! Yes I agree with you (partially).
Hamlib puts the upgrades inside its Git repository then it's the unique place wherein the cmake process look at/for. I use rigctld as you described, but if you look at WSJTX settings, you will see the hamlib version which cmake has found in the moment you made the code compilation and this is not the latest available. 73s de Marco PY1ZRJ Inviato da Outlook per Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg> ________________________________ From: Kari Sillanmäki via wsjt-devel <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 15, 2025 8:34:51 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Cc: Kari Sillanmäki <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] WSJTX Linux Hamlib Hi Marco, As you know, Windowzie is this “same pants fit everyone” system, which means WSJT-X only needs one place to pull a new version of Hamlib from. But Unix/Linux is far more versatile. You can run it on a wide range of distributions such as Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Raspberry Pi OS, Red Hat, or whatever else you prefer. You can even set up your own “distro” if you want to. Because of this diversity, it would be very difficult for WSJT-X to know where to download a new version of Hamlib from — assuming such a package even exists. However, there is a workaround. You just need to install whatever version of Hamlib you want on your system, start the `rigctld` daemon with the parameters suitable for your rig, and select “Hamlib NET rigctl” as your radio in WSJT-X. Granted, this requires some IT skills beyond those of an “appliance user,” but it’s definitely doable. 73's de Kari, oh2gqc On 11/16/25 00:08, Marco Calistri via wsjt-devel wrote: Hello, Why only Windows version of WSJTX has the feature to upgrade/roll-back Hamlib from within the program? In Linux, at least if you use the WSJTX source-code, in order to get the updated Hamlib version, you need to recompile the code! I think that WSJTX for Linux has limited features in comparison to Windows. I would like to get the same.
