Hi Mark,

any Hamlib RPMs installed have no bearing on a WSJT-X build from our 
source tarball.

I am now able to build on CentOS 7 with the following recipe:

My starting point was a VM install of CentOS 7 with the GNOME Desktop 
group installed, the system was fully updated with 'sudo yum update'.

1) Install required dependencies to build Hamlib and WST-X (without 
manpages and manual):

sudo yum install gcc-gfortran cmake fftw3-devel libudev-devel 
libusbx-devel qt5-qtserialport-devel git gcc-c++ make autoconf automake 
patch libtool texinfo qt5-qtmultimedia-devel

2) Fetch the source tarball:

mkdir -p ~/wsjtx-prefix/build
cd !$/..
wget 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt/files/wsjtx-2.0.0-rc4/wsjtx-2.0.0-rc4.tgz
tar xf wsjtx-2.0.0-rc4.tgz

3) Insert patches:

copy the attached patch to ~/wsjtx-prefix/wsjtx-2.0.0-rc4/ overwriting 
the empty file with the same name.

4) Configure the build tree:

cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=.. -DWSJT_SKIP_MANPAGES=ON 
-DWSJT_GENERATE_DOCS=OFF ../wsjtx-2.0.0-rc4

5) Build and install the application:

cmake --build . --target install -- -j

6) Run WSJT-X (I found that the default native GUI widgets were nasty so 
I selected the Qt cross platform fusion sytle, YMMV):

~/wsjtx-prefix/bin/wstx -style fusion

The patch file is only necessary for WSJT-X v2.0.0 RC4 and earlier, I 
will apply the changes to our repo so the next release will not require 
them.
