Good for you. But computers are your biz. They are not mine, even though I've been using them professionally since 1980.

As to "technology," I worked in "technology" from '62 to '10 -- I engineered in radio and TV broadcasting, did field service on a wide variety of audio and video systems, designed complex sound systems that required that I know circuit theory, electronics, acoustics, and speech intelligibility; to design and integrate wireless mic systems, I had to apply antenna design and transmission lines. I utilized very complex signal processing systems for large sound systems that ran on Windoze hardware, interconnected with wired Ethernet. A few years ago, managing my investments, I realized "technology" had come to mean computers and the internet. Silly me.

My father loaded apps constantly. It's trivial . . .

I'm sorry that typing "make" and "make install" (and possibly ./configure) causes you so much angst!

Except wsjt-x doesn't use make.

From previous thread in June, so it may be out of date:

/*
#!/usr/bin/env bash
sudo apt update && sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install -y qtmultimedia5-dev \
libqt5serialport5-dev \

libqt5multimedia5-plugins \
libboost-all-dev \
libfftw3-dev \
libreadline-dev \
libusb-1.0-0-dev \
libudev-dev \
portaudio19-dev \
cmake \
libgfortran5 \
build-essential
mkdir wsjtx
cd wsjtx
wget -O wsjtx-2.5.4.tgz
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt/files/wsjtx-2.5.4/wsjtx-2.5.4.tgz/download
tar -xzf wsjtx-2.5.4.tgz
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DWSJT_SKIP_MANPAGES=ON -DWSJT_GENERATE_DOCS=OFF ../wsjtx-2.5.4
sudo cmake --build . --target install

I may dig out a Pi on the weekend to try this and see if I've missed
anything, but I think it'll work.

cmake and make is what *I* use to build it.

(And i don't use any of that apt nonsense, since it doesn't exist on my box . . .)

My problem is that I can't get the driver to install1
It hiccups at step 8 and stops!


w5ec
 

I can't figure why the driver installation stops at step 8 !!!!!

I tried but the installation stopped at step 8 and quit. Can't figure our why.

Bill, I am helping you out of the group.
I need to know what happens when you click on Update Driver first
before proceeding to the next step.
Email direct to me.
