Thanks Greg,

I’m trying to do this to avoid dragging my laptop out for 10 Ghz roving – so 
the band won’t be busy!  I can always try over clocking to 1 Ghz and see what 
difference that makes.

Right now I’ve got past the PIL problem by installing PILLOW instead – then I 
ran into an error:

FATAL: cannot locate cpu Mhz in /proc/cpuinfo

Sigh… this is endless.

Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] wsjt or wsjt-x for Raspian on Pi?

Hi Stu

We just had a discussion on this regarding WSPR, which uses most all of the 
same packages that WSJT needs. Fred (WA1DLZ) posted his findings regarding the 
requirements for Wheezy and Jessie (Raspian). The main issue (I think) is that 
python3-pil is missing from Wheezy, but is present in Jessie.

You will still need to resolve the Audio setup as well as the WSJT.INI 
settings. System resources may also be an issue, as the Rpi is has a much lower 
powered CPU (Arm6 I believe it is) than a standard x86 CPU, but in theory, it 
should be possible. I would think decoding would be slower on a busy band. You 
may also want to look at Arm6 specific compiler flags.

Needless to say, using WSJT on an Rpi is not optimum, and will require a good 
bit of special configuring, but it should be possible. How well it performs is 
another matter entirely.

Sorry for this dumb question but I’m banging my head against the wall trying to 
run wsjt for Rapsian on a Pi.

I pulled the top of trunk and built ok but when running, I get “No module named 
PIL” - but PIL is installed and apparently now under Python3, its should be 
import Image (but that doesn’t work either!).

So, can someone point me to a branch of Trunk that will build and run under 
Linux or, should I be trying to build Wsjt-x instead?

Thanks!
