Hi Joe,
Hi Greg,
If you intended to release the Beta October 1st, I'm sure either John (
AC6SL ) or myself could come up with either a PPA or Debian Package,
maybe both.
I've not built WSJT-X using Qmake in a while, but, if wsjtx.pro and
wsjtx/lib/Makefile are up to date, we could probably pull together a
tar.gz with instructions for building from source. Need to confirm that
will Bill of course.
I don't understand why you would want to build with qmake? CMake builds
are fully supported on Linux and the package target can produce a Debian
package, an RPM package and, a source tarball.
I don't want to use Qmake. I prefer Cmake. At the time, I thought
that may be another option, but Cmake is certainly the way to go IMHO.
The TGZ package being produced is all binary files, so if the intent
is to provide a real source tar.gz, we'll need to sift through the
files and clean out the Windows stuff.
try:
cmake --build <build-tree-path> --target package_source
I think you will find that builds a variety of source packages in
different compression tools.
I realize that there are some minor issues with each of these but they
are far closer to a working distributable package than a raw qmake
build. For example licence terms, icons, desktop files, man pages and,
application descriptions are all handled in the CMake package builders.
I think the manpages are, for the time being, are secondary or even
tertiary consideration with respect to the beta. The hardest thing
(for Debian at least) is that copyright file. Needs to accurate and
formatted properly.
OK, can you point me to a reference so I can check if the DEB file
produced at the moment is incorrect.
In any case I can help out in those two areas, but not on Mac I'm afraid.
Same applies for Mac although John G4KLA is already using the CMake
packaging for Mac AFAIK.

Hi all,
For the forthcoming beta release of WSJT-X v1.4, is it feasible for us
to have ready suitable installation packages (and instructions) for
Linux and OS X, as well as Windows?

Manually upgrade your production database.
