Re: [Hamlib-developer] Building Hamlib with MXE

[Lars <ma...@dl...>]

Hello Remi,

great that you already walked through all those steps.
Could you claim which aspects of fidigi have had to be tweaked? This
could give me a clue if those would impact to existing projects, too.

How did you include hamlib3 into mxe? Did you write a hamlib3.mk file
and typed 'make' within the mxe directory, or which steps did you do? Is
there a release date for hamlib3 and could it then be officially
included to mxe?

Could you explain what would be the manual step? Would we have to change
code of hamlib2.x or is it just a 'patch' thing?

If hamlib3 would not work with our project code, I would concider to
tweak the existing hamlib2. Generally I think it would be great to
include hamlib2 as well as hamlib3 to the mxe project to make it easier
for projects to use this great library! :D
We already tested rigControl with hamlib2 during 6 contests and it
worked fine for us.
