[wsjt-devel] WSPR 4.0 Builds & Ubuntu PPA

[ki7mt <ki...@ya...>]

Hello All,

It's been a while since an update went out, so I thought I'd update 
folks on the status of things.

*Recent Changes*
- Joe updated fonts and the main UI layout slightly, mainly for *Nix
- Minor build tool updates for *Nix
- Band hopping fully functional
- FMT + Tools and WSPR0 Fully functional

*Build Status*
* Linux, builds and runs nicely
* Windows, builds and runs nicely
* Mac, haven't had an update recently, but last report all was ok.

*Linux Build Procedure
*- checkout wspr
- cd wspr && ./autogen.sh
- make
- sudo make install

*Windows Build Procedure*
- Use JTSDK-PY to build, then run

*Ubuntu PPA Available*
* I've added a PPA (i386 & amd64) for Ubuntu / Debian. Its currently 
building on Debian Sid and Ubuntu Trusty without errors. This could use 
testing by other Ubuntu users to ensure things work smoothly.

* The PPA is currently following the development branch, as such, is 
subject to frequent changes. Once Joe releases WSPR 4.0, the PPA will be 
updated with Bug Fixes & Security only. At that point, we'll submit to 
Debian for Repo inclusion, with the goal of inclusion in Ubuntu 14.10 
release. Once released, this PPA will become stable, and wspr-dev will 
be created to follow the development branch. Richard is also working on 
Fedora packaging and I bleive that is working also.

* To add the PPA and Install WSPR (Ubuntu 14.04+ / Mint-17+):
- Note: This also includes FMT tools + WSPR0

- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ki7mt/wspr
- Accept the GnuPG Key
- sudo apt-get update

**To Install WSPR*
*sudo apt-get install wspr

**To Run (two methods available)*
*- Open Dash >> type wspr, click to run (Unity Ubuntu), or the Menu 
Systems for Ubuntu Friends.
- Or, Open a terminal window and type: wspr

That's all for now. As always, if you have build or runtime issues, send 
them to the dev-list.
