Hi Andreas, The .deb files posted on Joe's website were more than likely built on a Ubuntu distribution, most probably 16.04 considering Ubuntu 14.04 gcc is sitting at 4.8.3.
To answer you questions, I don't think anyone is building packages for Debian specifically. I build PPA packages for Ubuntu against a number of versions & architectures. I've been told, on occasion, that using Launchpad for Debian proper distributions is not advised, but, many of the WSPR users are on Raspbian which is a direct pull from Jessie I believe. You have a number of options: [1] Use the Ubuntu Trusty .deb (for your arch) off my Launchpad account. Ubuntu Trusty was sourced from Jessie, and should work for you. Link: https://launchpad.net/~ki7mt/+archive/ubuntu/wsjtx/+packages [2] Try to use my Launchpad PPA method of installation: Link: https://launchpad.net/~ki7mt/+archive/ubuntu/wsjtx [3] Use the instructions contained within the WSJT-X repository for compiling WSJT-X: Link: https://sourceforge.net/p/wsjt/wsjt/HEAD/tree/branches/wsjtx/INSTALL There are other methods, but those are known to work with high success rates. 73's Greg, KI7MT On 1/22/2017 3:11 AM, Andreas Krüger wrote: > Hello, all, > > trying to install wsjtx_1.7.0_amd64.deb from > https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx.html > on my Debian Jessie computer, I run into these problems: > > > WSJTX 1.7.0 wants version 5.5.0 or newer of libqt5core5a, but Jessie has > 5.3.2+dfsg-4+deb8u2. > > WSJTX 1.7.0 wants version 5.2 or newer of libstdc++6, but Jessie has 4.9.2-10. > > (See below for details.) > > > My questions: > > Are these dependencies serious? > > Or can I hope to get a working Jessie WSJTX 1.7.0 by compiling myself against > the library versions that Jessie has? > > Maybe someone has already done a compile for Debian and I can simply use that? > > > FWIW: > > Jessie is the presently released Debian stable. > > So the claim on https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx.html > > that WSJTX 1.7.0 as provided there (which is what I try to use) > > is fit for Debian must, I'm afraid, be taken with a lump of salt presently... > ;-) > > > Regards, Andreas, DJ3EI > > > # LANG=C dpkg -i wsjtx_1.7.0_amd64.deb > (Reading database ... 351518 files and directories currently installed.) > Preparing to unpack wsjtx_1.7.0_amd64.deb ... > Unpacking wsjtx (1.7.0) over (1.7.0) ... > dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of wsjtx: > wsjtx depends on libqt5core5a (>= 5.5.0); however: > Version of libqt5core5a:amd64 on system is 5.3.2+dfsg-4+deb8u2. > wsjtx depends on libstdc++6 (>= 5.2); however: > Version of libstdc++6:amd64 on system is 4.9.2-10. > > dpkg: error processing package wsjtx (--install): > dependency problems - leaving unconfigured > Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils (0.22-1) ... > Processing triggers for gnome-menus (3.13.3-6) ... > Processing triggers for mime-support (3.58) ... > Processing triggers for man-db (2.7.0.2-5) ... > Errors were encountered while processing: > wsjtx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
