Hi Ian,
FWIW, there are several items that still need to be addressed, aside
from the fact Jessie is frozen.
Long story short, the package (source code) now includes a fork of
Hamlib v1.2.15 in addition to the WSWJT-X source code. It also
requires an additional package to install the non-FOSS KVASD decoder,
which is no longer part of WSJT-X ( as a package ).
I've create 2x PPA's that will install both the KVASD decoder and a
much more resent version of WSJT-X, both of which are following the
development branch of WSJT-X. I've tested this on Jessie, but not
extensively.
- ----------------------------------------
TO ADD THE PPAs and PERFORM INSTALLATION:
* Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T)
* sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ki7mt/kvasd-installer
* --> Accept the PGP Key
* sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ki7mt/wsjtx-dev
* --> Accept the PGP Key
* sudo apt-get update
INSTALL and RUN KVASD Installer
* Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) if you closed it.
* sudo apt-get install kvasd-installer
* When complete, type: kvasd-installer
* At the main Menu, Select "Install decoder", follow the prompts.
* After install, test the decoder or just exit kvasd-installer
WSJT-X INSTALL and RUN
NOTE: The new WSJT-X package *does not / will not* overwrite any user
v1.1 files installed from the repository. However, you should
uninstall the repo version first as there will be a links to the
original wsjtx binary, just to be safe.
* Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) if you closed it.
* sudo apt-get install wsjtx-dev
* Use Search: Search for wsjtx, then click the icon.
* To run from the command line, type: wsjtx
That should do it. From that point forward, updates are performed
normally with: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade.
- ----------------------------------------
For those a little more ambitious, there is also a Linux SDK called (
JTSDK ) that will build the appropriate Hamlib3 version, and either
the current Release candidate (RC4) or the latest Development Branch v1.5.
If anyone is interested in testing the JTSDK for Debian/UBuntu, I can
post instructions, it's fairly straight forward. The SDK also builds
WSJT and WSPR.
