Hello All,

*INSTALL via PPA*
- When installing JTSDK ( then main package ), it will no longer
automatically install dependencies. I've created three Meta packages
that allows much more control over what gets installed, it's up to the
user to choose.

- jtsdk-minimal = Minimum packages to build WSJT-X, WSJT and WSPR
- jtsdk-standard = Minimal + User Guide build dependencies
- jtsdk-full = Standard + Manpage build dependencies

All three applications have the ability to enable or disable Manpage and
User Guide generation. If you choose not to install jtsdk-full, you will
need to disable what you do not want via ( jtsdk -d [OPTION] ), see (
jtsdk -h and jtsdk -l ) for more details. Whichever way you decide, you
must choose at least (1) Meta Package.

To Install ( example is for full dependency installation ):
- sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ki7mt/jtsdk
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install jtsdk jtsdk-full

Then run JTSDK either form the Desktop menus or the command line.


* INSTALL via SOURCE *
- Remove all previous versions of JTSDK.
- Download jtsdk-nix-2.0.19.tar.gz
- Extract: tar -xf jtsdk-nix-2.0.19.tar.gz
- cd ./jtsdk-nix-2.0.19
- ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local
- make
- sudo make install

You can add --disable-manpages --disable-docs to the autogen command if
you do not want to install the required build dependencies, however,
ensure you set the options ( jtsdk -d manpages -d docs ) before building
any applications, otherwise a build error will likely occur. See ( jtsdk
-h and jtsdk -l ) for more details.

Be sure you check the MD5 and / or SHA1 sums to ensure the package is
valid before installing. If it is not valid, please report is to the
dev-list.
