Building WSJT-X on MS Windows
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
Here I describe my set up, you may have other preferences due to your
|
|
favoured file system layout for tools, utilities, and libraries. Many
|
|
variations are possible, use this guide as a template. The aim is to
|
|
provide an environment suitable for general development.
|
|
|
|
Prerequisite Tools and Libraries
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Here is an overview list, details are filled out below:
|
|
|
|
* Qt Open Source Framework
|
|
* Cmake build system generator
|
|
* FFTW v3 DFT library
|
|
* libusb usb device library
|
|
* MSYS2 *nix like command line environment
|
|
* Hamlib rig control library
|
|
* Pkg Config Lite
|
|
* Boost C++ libraries
|
|
* portaudio library (used by map65)
|
|
|
|
Qt Framework
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
At the time of writing I recommend using Qt v5.15.0 64-bit, v5.15.1
|
|
has a defect that affects us so is best avoided. You need the MinGW
|
|
version as we do not support the MSVC version due to lack of a
|
|
suitable FOSS Fortran complier. To install the Qt developer SDK you
|
|
should download the official Qt on-line installer, this allows you to
|
|
install one or more variants of the Qt SDK and also to maintain and
|
|
update the installation at a later date. There are many versions and
|
|
components within versions available, you only need the base 64-bit
|
|
MinGW framework for Qt v5.15.0 and the matching MinGW 8.1.0 64-bit
|
|
developer tools, other components can be unchecked within the on-line
|
|
installer. The default install location is C:\Qt which is fine, do
|
|
not attempt to move the location of the installed libraries if you
|
|
decide you want it elsewhere, the installer patches the libraries for
|
|
the installed location and it is easier to un-install and re-install
|
|
if you wish to change the installed location.
|
|
|
|
CMake
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Download and install a recent version from the official CMake web
|
|
site. A default installation is fine. I am currently using v3.18.4,
|
|
versions as old as v3.9 should work.
|
|
|
|
Other tools and libraries without installers
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
For small libraries that don't have a Windows installer and change
|
|
often I locate them under a directory C:\Tools. This location is
|
|
arbitrary and just used to aggregate such items in one place, but this
|
|
document assumes that location so you may need to adjust paths etc. if
|
|
you use a different location.
|
|
|
|
FFTW v3 DFT library
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
The MS Windows builds of FFTW3 can be downloaded from
|
|
http://www.fftw.org/install/windows.html. The ZIP archives for this
|
|
package have no directory structure so create a directory under C:\
|
|
Tools\ called fftw-3.3.5-dll64 and unzip the archive there. You only
|
|
need the 64-bit package.
|
|
|
|
libusb library
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
This library is available from https://libusb.info/, download the .7z
|
|
archive as the .zip archive does not contain the libraries we
|
|
require. Unzip this package into C:\Tools.
|
|
|
|
MSYS2
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
This utility is available from https://www.msys2.org/. Follow the
|
|
download, installation, and initial upgrading instructions there. Once
|
|
installed and updated you will need to install some packages, these
|
|
are needed to provide the necessary *nix tools and utilities to build
|
|
Hamlib from sources.
|
|
|
|
pacman -S autoconf automake libtool make tar
|
|
|
|
Hamlib
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Currently we statically link Hamlib to avoid clashes with
|
|
pre-installed DLLs that may be older versions than we support. Once
|
|
Hamlib v1.4 is officially released and commonly available we will move
|
|
to dynamic linking. Until then Hamlib must be built from
|
|
sources. There is a fork of the official Hamlib project which we keep
|
|
up to date with the official project master branch, we recommend
|
|
building from the 'integration' branch of that fork. The fork is a git
|
|
repository which can be cloned with this command:
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p ~/src/sf/bsomervi
|
|
cd !$
|
|
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/u/bsomervi/hamlib hamlib
|
|
cd hamlib
|
|
git checkout integration
|
|
|
|
Next you must build Hamlib using the MinGW compiler tools bundled with
|
|
Qt. As you will build Hamlib again when there are updates you should
|
|
set up you MSYS2 command line environment for this. I use a
|
|
$HOME/.bash_profile file containing these lines:
|
|
|
|
dll_paths_64bit=/c/Tools/libusb-1.0.23/MinGW64/dll
|
|
export PATH=/c/Qt/Tools/mingw810_64/bin:$dll_paths_64bit:$PATH
|
|
|
|
Test the amended ~/.bash_profile file by opening a new MSYS2 shell and
|
|
typing:
|
|
|
|
which gcc
|
|
which libusb-1.0.dll
|
|
|
|
The first time you checkout the Hamlib sources you must bootstrap the
|
|
configuration script, this is done with a script at the root of the
|
|
Hamlib sources:
|
|
|
|
cd ~/src/sf/bsomervi/hamlib
|
|
./bootstrap
|
|
|
|
Now you need to configure and build Hamlib from an MSYS2 shell. Create
|
|
a build directory outside of the Hamlib sources you have just cloned,
|
|
then change working directory to that build directory.
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p ~/build/hamlib/release
|
|
cd !$
|
|
~/src/sf/bsomervi/hamlib/configure --disable-shared \
|
|
--prefix=$HOME/local/hamlib/mingw64/release \
|
|
CFLAGS="-DNDEBUG -g -O2 -fdata-sections -ffunction-sections -I/c/Tools/libusb-1.0.23/include" \
|
|
CXXFLAGS="-DNDEBUG -g -O2 -fdata-sections -ffunction-sections" \
|
|
LDFLAGS="-Wl,--gc-sections" \
|
|
LIBUSB_LIBS="-L/c/Tools/libusb-1.0.23/MinGW64/dll -lusb-1.0"
|
|
|
|
Then build and install the Hamlib package into a local directory:
|
|
|
|
make & make install-strip
|
|
|
|
If you wish you can make a debug configuration build of Hamlib which
|
|
can be useful if you intended to contribute to the Hamlib project, or
|
|
for tracking down issues:
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p ~/build/hamlib/debug
|
|
cd !$
|
|
~/src/sf/bsomervi/hamlib/configure --disable-shared \
|
|
--prefix=$HOME/local/hamlib/mingw64/debug \
|
|
CFLAGS="-g -O0 -I/c/Tools/libusb-1.0.23/include" \
|
|
CXXFLAGS="-g -O0" \
|
|
LIBUSB_LIBS="-L/c/Tools/libusb-1.0.23/MinGW64/dll -lusb-1.0"
|
|
make && make install
|
|
|
|
To update the Hamlib sources to the latest commit and rebuild:
|
|
|
|
cd ~/src/sf/bsomervi/hamlib
|
|
git pull
|
|
cd ~/build/hamlib/release
|
|
make & make install-strip
|
|
cd ~/build/hamlib/debug
|
|
make && make install
|
|
|
|
Pkg Config Lite
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
This package allows the WSJT-X CMake configuration to locate and learn
|
|
the options needed to consume the Hamlib package. You can download it
|
|
from https://sourceforge.net/projects/pkgconfiglite/files/0.28-1/ and
|
|
unzip it into a convenient location, as with other ancillary tools and
|
|
libraries I put these under C:\Tools\.
|
|
|
|
portaudio
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
This library is only available as sources so must be built. It uses
|
|
autotools and building using MinGW tools from an MSYS2 shell is
|
|
recommended. Ensure your MSYS2 shell environment (PATH) is correctly
|
|
set up for the MinGW tool chain you wish to build with, i.e. the MinGW
|
|
tools bundled with the Qt installation for 32-, or 64-bit as required.
|
|
|
|
Download this specific version's sources tarball from
|
|
http://files.portaudio.com/download.html , at the time of writing that
|
|
was the pa_stable_v190600_20161030.tgz file. Unzip and unpack the
|
|
tarball in a suitable location like ~/src :
|
|
|
|
cd ~/src
|
|
tar xf ~/Downloads/pa_stable_v190600_20161030.tgz
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that on Windows portaudio will only build static libraries using
|
|
the standard configuration, we prefer dynamic libraries for portaudio
|
|
as users may wish to substitute a build of the library with ASIO
|
|
support for personal use (we cannot redistribute binaries built from
|
|
proprietary closed source sources like the Steinberg ASIO SDK).
|
|
|
|
In order to build DLLs on Windows the configure script requires a
|
|
patch as follows:
|
|
|
|
sed -i -e 's/-luuid//g' ~/src/portaudio/configure
|
|
|
|
This removes linker dependencies on the MS uuid library since it is
|
|
only available as a static archive and using that would disallow
|
|
shared library creation.
|
|
|
|
Out-of-source-tree builds are recommended, create a build directory in
|
|
a suitable location like ~/build and change working directory to it:
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p ~/build/portaudio/mingw64
|
|
cd !$
|
|
|
|
Configure and build and install the library in a suitable place (I use
|
|
~/local as a root directory for installed packages.
|
|
|
|
~/src/portaudio/configure --prefix=$(HOME)/local/portaudio/mingw64 \
|
|
--with-winapi=wmme,directx,wdmks --disable-static --enable-shared CFLAGS=-DNDEBUG
|
|
make && make install
|
|
|
|
Repeat for the 32-bit architecture if required, using a suitable MSYS2
|
|
environment for the required tool chain, different build directory,
|
|
and install location.
|
|
|
|
Update your CMake tool chain files to include the install directory,
|
|
or directories, above. I have something like this in the 64-bit tool
|
|
chain files:
|
|
|
|
# ...
|
|
set (PORTAUDIODIR C:/Users/bill/local/portaudio/mingw64)
|
|
# ...
|
|
set (CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ... ${PORTAUDIODIR} ...)
|
|
#...
|
|
|
|
and similarly with the 32-bit tool chain file specifying the mingw32
|
|
portaudio installation root directory.
|
|
|
|
To run Debug configuration WSJT-X builds you will also need to add the
|
|
location of the portaudio DLL to your PATH environment variable, like:
|
|
|
|
SET "Path=%UserProfile%\local\portaudio\mingw64\bin;%Path%"
|
|
|
|
Verify the setup with:
|
|
|
|
WHERE libportaudio-2.dll
