Compile 2.2.2 Deb (Buster), 84% stopped at cannot find -ludev
Hi all, took me a while to sort this out. Got stopped at 84% with cannot find -ludev
Might help someone else if they get hung up here.
apt install libudev-dev
Fixed it :-)

Re: Dependency is not satisfiable: libgfortran3 (>= 4.8.2)
Hi Dale
Go for it !
I built from sources for 2.2.2 on the current Debian Buster (in a VM). Easy - see attached. Also built 2.3.0rc1 the same way.
I got several error 502s (server hang up) from the repository when downloading the tools and libs (422MB), retrying worked ok though, so no problem.
I have a bash script if you need it.

that is correct and they seem to prefer new packages rather often, I assume because of breaking changes as the Fortran language evolves. I have tried to include alternatives in the Debian and RPM control file requirements for the next release. Unfortunately there is a defect in the dependencies listed for WSJT-X v2.3.0 RC1, the next release will be better.
Note that the Debian package we release for WSJT-X v2.3.0 RC1 targets Debian 10 (Buster) based distribution versions like Ubuntu 20.04. As Rick notes, building from sources is the right way to go if there are dependency issues. I don't understand why anyone would consider importing packages not in the mainstream distro repositories, that is risking breaking any number of other packages whereas building WSJT-X from sources will never require any packages not in your current distro repositories.

Jeff I think you are mistaken. libfortran3 and libfortran5 are different packages, so libfortran5 can never satisfy a dependency on libfortran3. Dale If libfortran3 is not in your repository, you can (should) build WSJT-X from sources. Download the wsjtx-2.2.2.tgz file and read the install file it contains. Build from sources is pretty easy but there are some fairly obvious typos in the install file.
Where it refers to "SVN" this may be in your repository as "subversion" "libqt5libserialport5-dev" should be "libqt5serialport5-dev" "libusb-1.0.0-dev" should be "libusb-1.0-0-dev" Also prior to running the line "$ tar xzf wsjtx-2.0.0.tgz" which should be "$ tar xzf wsjtx-2.2.2.tgz" you need to have copied the tgz file into the build directory Also "cmake -DWSJT_SKIP_MANPAGES=ON -DWSJT_GENERATE_DOCS=OFF ../wsjtx-2.0.0" should end with 2.2.2 as well Also be aware at the line "$ cmake --build ." this ends with a dot which is important. The tools and libraries were about 300Mb to download Build will take a few minutes to complete. This approach will get round all your dependency problems. Hope this helps Rick(GM4JIB)

Re: Continuing problem, WSJT-X fails to decode
I had the same problem. I tried the DG2YCB clone and the decode problem is gone.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt-x-improved/files/WSJT-X_v2.3.0/
Copy from Uwe:
” - I kept the DX-optimized FT8 and FT4 decoders from previous version 2.2.2.”
The drawback is that it might be some more ghosts, but that I can live with.

No, that’s not the issue here. I have seem that come up on the forum many times. I’ve never used that function so never checked it and just to be complete verified again
that it’s still unchecked before posting this. This is something different, like several others have reported, and has been going on for a long long time. After grabbing the .wav files this time I restarted WSJT-X and it’s unfrozen now but if there’s something

there is a known defect in WSJT-X where the Band Activity window stops scrolling down to show them latest decodes, the defect only occurs when "Settings->General->Start new

You can work around this issue either by unchecking the "Settings->General->Start new period decodes at top" option or by erasing the Band Activity window periodically (right-click
and select "Erase").

Hi Bill,
Yeah, that’s what I was saying in my post. Yet WSJT-X was frozen when I collected them. This thread is asking why that’s happening. You asked its originator to provide
.wav files so I have also. As I mentioned in my post, I also took a video which I can provide if you think it might be helpful. The question remains, why is WSJT-X freezing ?

HI Bill,
Following up on this, I’ve been off the air for a few days but fired up WSJT-X today and got another freeze. I’m sending you the last three .wav files that were saved consistent
with your request below. To me they just sound like normal audio and seem to terminate normally. WSJT-X was up and frozen when I grabbed them and after I did, and closed WSJT-X, I checked and no more .wav files had been written. I also took a short video
showing WSJT-X with the waterfall frozen but the 15-sec timer still running and Flex DAX showing audio still being generated by the radio (that is, the radio and audio connection weren't frozen). Being a video file, I won’t attach it here in case you’d rather
I sent it via another means.
I’ve been getting these freezes since at least the first V2 and maybe before. I can’t correlate them to anything. During that time I’ve had four different Flex radios (quality
is not a Flex Radio attribute - software or hardware) and several revisions of SSDR, CAT, DAX and Windows 10 software (I’m on 2004 now) running on three different fast laptops each set up from scratch. I don’t use any third party AV software as they’re all
basically malware themselves. The freezes seem to just “happen”. Sometimes closing and restarting WSJT-X fixes it and sometimes I have to restart the whole computer. I’ve lost at least one potential ATNO due to this.
Thanks for helping as always !

Re: Continuing problem, WSJT-X fails to decode
Hi Bill,
Just thought I’d try this one last time.
If there is some reason you don’t want to respond to this could you please just let me know so I can stop trying ?
Thanks, Russ KR6W

HI Bill,
Just following up on this - I hope you got my reply below. Did you want me to send the video and if so, where ?
Thanks, Russ KR6W
Hi Bill,
Again, thanks for the response.
No, that’s not the issue here. I have seem that come up on the forum many times. I’ve never used that function so never checked it and just to be complete verified again that it’s still unchecked before posting this. This is something different, like several others have reported, and has been going on for a long long time. After grabbing the .wav files this time I restarted WSJT-X and it’s unfrozen now but if there’s something else you’d like me to collect and send please let me know.
Thanks, Russ KR6W

Russ,
there is a known defect in WSJT-X where the Band Activity window stops scrolling down to show them latest decodes, the defect only occurs when "Settings->General->Start new period decodes at top" is checked. It occurs after a large number of decodes are printed. You can check if this is the issue you are suffering by manually scrolling down the Band Activity window to reveal the apparently missing decodes.
You can work around this issue either by unchecking the "Settings->General->Start new period decodes at top" option or by erasing the Band Activity window periodically (right-click and select "Erase").

when you have the virtual COM port
drivers installed and the rig plugged in you will have two COM
ports visible in the Windows Device Manager, the second port
(Enhanced) is the one that is used for CAT control, that is the
one that needs to be selected in
"Settings->Radio->Cat->Serial Port".
If you have Hardware handshaking
enabled then you must also have the rig menu item 33 (CAT RTS) set
to ENABLE.

Do you have the right

As you have Hardware

Hi Jon,
which radio? How is it connected to your PC
for CAT control? What
settings do you have in "Settings->Radio"
com port 6, as the Port says, ?

one that needs to be selected in

If you have Hardware handshaking
enabled then you must also have the rig menu item 33 (CAT RTS) set
to ENABLE.

As you have Hardware

Jon,
when you have the virtual COM port
drivers installed and the rig plugged in you will have two COM
ports visible in the Windows Device Manager, the second port
(Enhanced) is the one that is used for CAT control, that is the
one that needs to be selected in
"Settings->Radio->Cat->Serial Port".
If you have Hardware handshaking
enabled then you must also have the rig menu item 33 (CAT RTS) set
to ENABLE.
