Building the MS Windows portaudio DLL with ASIO Support
=======================================================

Some MAP65  users may not be  able to use WDM/KS  hosted audio devices
due to sharing issues with other applications, to circumvent this they
can build a version of the  portaudio DLL with ASIO support. We cannot
provide a  portaudio DLL with ASIO  support as the Steinberg  ASIO SDK
license  prevents redistribution  of drivers  or hosting  applications
without a commercial license agreement,  nor is the Steinberg ASIO SDK
license  compatible with  the GPL  v3 license  that MAP65  is released
under.  Users  may build  a  portaudio  DLL themselves,  strictly  for
personal use, under the terms of the Steinberg ASIO license.

Building portaudio on  MS Windows is done most easily  using the MinGW
(GNU) tool-chain which can be installed  on MS Windows using the MSYS2
unix  like  environment  which  in turn  includes  a  package  manager
(pacman)  that allows  simple installation  of necessary  prerequisite
packages like the  MinGW 64-bit tool-chain. To  install MSYS2 download
the latest 64-bit installer from the MSYS2 project web site. This page
contains links to the installer  download and detailed instructions to
install and bring up-to-date the base MSYS2 packages.

https://www.msys2.org/wiki/MSYS2-installation/

Take particular care  to restart the MSYS2 shell  window when directed
to.

The first step is to  install some prerequisite packages which contain
the tools needed  to prepare and build the portaudio  DLL. Execute the
following command to do that:

  pacman -S make diffutils unzip mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc sed tar curl

Once  MSYS2  is installed  and  the  prerequisite packages  above  are
installed you will find a new Windows Start Menu entry labelled "MSYS2
MinGW 64-bit",  use that to start  a fresh MSYS2 shell  window for the
rest of these instructions.

Then make directories to put downloaded sources in and for building:

  mkdir -p ~/src ~/build/portaudio

Fetch and  unpack the Steinberg  ASIO SDK  (note the ASIO  SDK license
document   included,   particularly   that   it   strictly   disallows
redistribution of  the DLL  we will be  building here),  and portaudio
sources:

  curl -Lo ~/src/asiosdk.zip https://www.steinberg.net/asiosdk
  (cd ~/src ; unzip asiosdk.zip)
  curl -O --output-dir ~/src \
    http://files.portaudio.com/archives/pa_stable_v190700_20210406.tgz
  tar -C ~/src -xf ~/src/pa_stable_v190700_20210406.tgz

Patch and build the portaudio library:

  sed -i -e 's/-luuid//g' ~/src/portaudio/configure
  cd ~/build/portaudio
  ~/src/portaudio/configure --with-winapi=wmme,directx,wdmks,asio \
    --with-asiodir=$HOME/src/asiosdk_2.3.3_2019-06-14 \
    --disable-static --enable-shared
  make -j

You can check  the library build is working by  running a test program
that was also built:

  bin/pa_devs

which should list every audio device on your system by every host API,
if all  is well that should  include the audio devices  on your system
with ASIO drivers.

Copy the new portaudio DLL to your WSJT-X/MAP65 installation directory:

  cp lib/.libs/libportaudio-2.dll /c/WSJT/wsjtx/bin/

Note that if you  upgrade WSJT-X you will need to  copy this DLL again
since it will be overwritten by one with no ASIO support.
