Hi Bill, I may have misunderstood the issue. I thought that you were having issues with Hamlib on Linux and on Windows. I stand corrected. I agree that it should not be a problem with Qt5 on linux.In the worst case, compiling from sources would not be a problem. 73, -- Edson PY2SDR On Wed, Ap

Hi All, because we are currently using a fork of hamlib and also because even when all the changes in the fork are accepted and released as a new version of hamlib is probably a long way off; it is necessary to deal with how we link to hamlib in our release packages. On Windows and Mac we curr
