Re: [wsjt-devel] Polling hamlib when flrig is being used?

[Black M. <mdb...@ya...>]

What makes you think WSJT-X needs to use the system libraries?  There's no such requirement that I've ever heard of.WSJT-X is written (as are all applications) to use specific capabilities in hamlib.
I'll bet that if you do "ldd wsjtx|grep hamlib" you won't see hamlib referenced at all...because it's statically linked.
WSJT-X distributes the complete hamlib utility set with it too.
Using the 3.3 version is just going to result in you getting lots of complaints about bug and rigs that aren't implemented or don't work.
We have finally cleared up all known bugs in hamlib and found a bunch more through the use of static analysis tools.

This isn't going to happen. wsjtx need to use the system library like
all other packages in Debian. I guess the situation is the same in
Fedora.
