I was finally able to get xlog 2.0.22 to compile on my Debian Buster based
32-bit PC.
I had to change the compiler flags (CFLAGS).
In other words, I had to do the following:
./configure CFLAGS="-Wall -Wunused -Wno-unused-but-set-variable"
make
sudo make install
I took these compiler flags (CFLAGS) from the Debian Buster source package for
xlog 2.0.14. This package also set the LDFLAGS as follows:
LDFLAGS += -Wl,-z,defs -Wl,--as-needed
But it does not seem that it is necessary to set the LDFLAGS to get XLog 2.0.22
to compile successfully. I did not set the LDFLAGS.
Developers -- Please consider updating the INSTALL file inside the xlog source
tarball accodingly so others will not have to deal with this issue.

I tried running in the terminal:
sudo apt-get build-dep xlog
Nothing got installed. So I should all the dependencies for xlog are already
be installed -- (at least for version 2.0.14 which is the latest version in the
Debian Buster repos). I do not think that any of the dependencies have changed
from version 2.0.14 to 2.0.22.
But when I try to compile the XLog 2.0.22 code, the build still fails with the
same error.
adif3.c: In function ‘adif_qso_append’:
adif3.c:527:4: error: ‘strncpy’ source argument is the same as destination
[-Werror=restrict]
strncpy (qfield, q[fld], qfield_len); // Save the string from start to
space, not including the space.

P.S. I know that the source for version 2.0.22 will compile on some systems.
I was able to compile XLog 2.0.22 on my old 64-bit Mac running Lion 10.7.5
without any issues. Perhaps the issue lies with 32-bit builds?
Any ideas?

Subject: Unable to compile XLog 2.0.22 on Debian Buster
I am running Anti-X linux on an 32-bit PC. Anti-X linux uses the Debian Buster
repos.
I installed XLog 2.0.14 from the Debian Buster repos. XLog runs fine.
But I want to upgrade to the latest verson of Xlog - version 2.0.22.
So I am trying to compile XLog 2.0.22 from source.
I made sure that the following Debian Buster packages were installed first:
* libhamlib2 (version 3.3-5)
* libhamlib-dev
* gcc (version 8.3.0-6)
* pkg-config
* libglib2.0-dev
* libgtk2.0-dev
* libusb1.0-0-dev
* libcanberra-gtk-module
"./ configure" runs fine without any errors.
But when I run "make" to compile the code, I get the following error:
gcc -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"xlog\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"xlog\"
-DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"2.0.22\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"xlog\ 2.0.22\"

Any ideas on how to resolve the error and get XLog 2.0.22 to compile on my
Debian Buster 32-bit PC?
