Good morning Linux WSJT-X fans, Awesome discussion going on in this thread, using all the feedback so far I've gone and hacked up some build scripts for RC3 on a couple different Linux distros (Debian and Solus). First some banter and then, the scripts.
1) Scripts use Paul's cmake flags and attempt to be compliant with Bill's statement on build permissions. You do still need to run the scripts as sudo to install dependencies up top but I've reduced permissions down below where the actual build takes place. 2) Scripts are tested and working on stock Debian 9 (AWS t2.micro instance), Raspbian Stretch (this is for you Evariste, I compiled it on my Pi 3+), and Solus 3.9999 (my Dell laptop). Bill will probably be able to find several more superfluous packages in my script(s) beyond what Paul has mentioned but those can always be cleaned up later on, I just want to get something up and running to share with everyone ASAP. 3) What is Solus? It's a new, cheerfully minimalist Linux distro that uses neither .deb nor .rpm files, so there is no other way to get WSJT-X RC3 running on it other than to build from source. I had been using Mint for over five years and while Stan is considering migrating to it, I've moved completely off because of some very bad experiences upgrading to Mint 19 a couple months ago (particularly the new "Timeshift" feature which bludgeoned my hard drive almost beyond recognition). Hopefully Stan has better luck than I did. Meanwhile I plan on contacting the Solus devs to see if they will consider packaging WSJT-X in their own ".eopkg" format for when 2.0 is officially released, and if not, I'll probably move over to the Arch Linux distro family and write/maintain a WSJT-X 2.0 PKGBUILD for the AUR (Arch User Repository) if someone else doesn't beat me to the punch.
