FLrig and Synaptic package manger in Mint 17

[k1ypp-/[e-mail] [linuxham]]

How do I get FLrig to show up in the Synaptic package manager? I see FLdigi there, but none of the other FL*** packages.


I started going down a rathole at:


Documentation/HOWTO/Mint_installation – fldigi https://fedorahosted.org/fldigi/wiki/Documentation/HOWTO/Mint_installation



Documentation/HOWTO/Mint_installation – fldigi https://fedorahosted.org/fldigi/wiki/Documentation/HOWTO/Mint_installation Installing, and building on Mint Installing the OS Build environment Build dependencies Preparing the home directory to build the fldigi family of applications. Getting the source Compiling fldigi

and when I hit the section (trying to install FLrig, not FLdigi):
Build and install the application:
cd ~/app-src
tar xzf ../tarballs/flrig-1.3.15.tar.gz
cd flrig-1.3.15
./configure
make
sudo make install I get an error at the ./configure that complains about:


checking for size_t... (cached) yes
checking for strstr... (cached) yes
checking for fltk-config... no
configure: error:
*** The fltk-config script could not be found. Please install the development
*** headers and libraries for FLTK 1.1.x, or set PATH to the directory that


*** contains fltk-config.


I'm way in over my head here. I guess the bottom line is: What is the easiest way to get FLrig running?

Did you follow on how to install fltk ?

You will want to select the latest stable version, presently its 1.3.2.
Save the tarball in your /home directory. Open your file manager, scroll
to the tarball, right click and select "extract here". Now scroll up to
the extracted tarball, right click, select "open in terminal". Do the
following in order:

./configure --enable-xft --enable-thread --enable-shared --enable-x11

make && sudo makeinstall

I'm sure I'm not doing something correctly. First of all, I'm trying to install FLrig, I have FLdigi already running. On the page I referenced earlier it seemed to indicate that I could also install FLrig using the same technique as FLdigi. Clearly, that is not the case. I was able to install FLdigi using the Synaptic tool, but FLrig doesn't show up there.


I did as you pointed out and, if I did it correctly, when I did the "Extract here," it created a directory called flrig-1.3.16.bin. I go to "open in terminal," and it opens in the directory: ~/Downloads/flrig-1.3.16bin $ and then I entered ./configure and it responds with: bash: ./configure: No such file or directory. I would have preferred it create a directory elsewhere, but it doesn't give that option, it just has "Extract here." Perhaps I should have moved it first.


You asked if I followed how to install fltk. I'm not certain what that is, a search says it is a tool kit. Perhaps I have to do this first, if so, where does one find this and install it? Keep in mind, I am a total novice with Linux. I have spent years working with VAX VMS and a fair amount of Unix (35 years ago) and lots of Microsoft systems stuff, but I have no clue about Linux, but I am trying to learn.


I feel like Sandra Bullock in the movie "Gravity," where she is in a Soyuz re-entry spacecraft and has no idea what to do. She knows how to pilot the US craft she was trained on and understands the principles, but doesn't read Russian and isn't certain about which buttons to press. I seem to be in that same sort of predicament.

I stumbled onto the Linux playing field totally unaware of where the goal posts were. I think this is what is missing is some Fldigi online documentation .


As I see it, there are two, maybe more, goals. I came into using Fldigi and subsequently, Flrig as a user. By that, I mean an amateur that was interested in only one thing, getting on the air with Linux and an application that would run the digital modes I was interested in. With that goal in mind, via Linux Mint, I found I could install Fldigi via the Synaptic tool and voila, I was on the air! I did have some problems getting it running, some file permissions kept it from doing command and control with the particular radio that I was using. In spite of that, it was an overall pleasant experience and, more importantly, I was on the air and very happy!


Charged with that sense of victory, Flrig looked like a fun choice; it would give more of a “Ham Radio Deluxe,” feel to things. I liked the fact that with HRD, I could just click the mouse to change transmit power, CW speed, AGC, etc. As is evidenced in this thread, I ran into all sorts of problems because I wasn't aware of a basic Linux premise, the premise that there is more than one way to install/build a tool. To me, the newbie, the Synaptic installation tool made things very easy, I thought I could install everything with it.


For the purist, there is only one way to install an application such as Fldigi, the high road, command line, build from the ground up. For the hobbyist, the amateur, there is the low road, the path of least resistance, the package install using applications, such as Synaptic. It is now obvious to me, but wasn't when I first started trying to get some amateur radio apps going on my old laptop.


There are good arguments for both methods, I won't dispute that. However, if we're to convince more people to try Linux and the ham radio applications, I think we need to be more proactive on the paths that one can take to get things running.


Someone wrote me and suggested that I look at the repository from Kamal Mostafa for Flrig. Before going to bed last night, I decided to give it a try and see what would happen. Literally, in two minutes, Flrig was up and running. I was too tired to do much with it, but it proved a point: a newbie can have something running quickly to try it out and see if it will work for them. Yes, it may not be the latest, or greatest, but it works and, perhaps more importantly, the user is thrilled to see it working, rather than frustrated with an arcane error message.


My initial reaction, when I installed Fldigi, was that it looked a bit like an old Windows 3.1 application, but I gave it a try and little-by-little I came to appreciate some of it's strengths. It is fast, easy to use and does everything well. At this point I prefer it to my HRD on Win 7. I'm thrilled that I am using a 12 year old Toshiba laptop that would puke if I tried to run Win 7/8 on it, yet it is running at light speed and doing everything I could hope for in my amateur radio arena. Sure, I could have built it from the ground up and have the latest and greatest, but I'm already thrilled.


I'm an electrical engineer and love to learn new things and will do as Ed suggests and do a total build, as time permits. I need to learn that process so I can do things that may have no “package,” but I'm certain that many of my compatriots that haven't yet been exposed to anything Linux would balk at having to build the install, it would be daunting.


In summary, I think we need to emphasize that Linux can be fun, and actually easy, without scaring people off. I spent years working with Unix, VMS and other operating systems, and feel I got pretty good at it, but I had a bunch of users on those systems that were very happy and didn't know a single command line command. As long as their applications did what they needed, all was good. It was my job, as the systems manager to keep things up to date, and build things. I can't believe how confused I was this weekend trying to make things work, I didn't realize I was mixing apples and oranges. As a newbie, I just wanted to get something running and when I used a search tool to find a solution, I was looking at complex solutions, where a simple solution would have had things up and running. Now I'm ready to look at the more complex stuff, it looks like fun.


Thank you everyone.

If you want only one computer in your ham shack, install Ham Radio Deluxe
with wine.

Wine is in the Mint repositories.

Compiling programs allows the user more versitality as compiling is done
against the libraries you have, not the libraries that the binary of the
same program requires. Of coursse sometimes you just cannot install a
program because one program requires one set of libraries and the other is
incompatable with this libraries.

You might look at this link to our archive where we discussed HRD under
WINE.

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.radio.linuxham/16479

Either I never tried all the commands in HRD or mine worked without
installing the registry entries they speak of in that thread.

HRD is just too big and slow for my liking. I can trade good looks for
stability and utility which I get with fldigi.

This version of HRD is free to use

Well said Dennis. I am a retired EE also, and have been working with computers to get a task done ever since there were computers available. The old Intellec 8 was the first computer I put on an aircraft to do a particular task.

In my case, I was never enthralled about useing a computer to accomplish a task - it was just one of the tools of the trade that could be used. Many tasks that were previously done with discrete components could also be accomplished in software, and over the years the software caught up with the analog methods and became viable.

In the case of amateur radio, I also had an old laptop that I wanted to use for my ham radio tasks. I found FLdigi when i was looking for an application with a lot more signal types than the obselete MixW I had been using for years. The change from Windows to Linux became possible with the discovery of Ubuntu and the ease of installing the operating system. I was also somewhat daunted by the difficulty of installing a program that was not in the symantic list. FLdigi was easily installed, and worked fine, but like you - getting FLmsg and FLrig installed was another story. Then I also discovered Kamal Mostafa and the ease of installing and then keeping the programs updated.

When little problems come up, it has been suggested over and over to me that I should build from scratch instead of using the compiled bin versions that were available. I spent years compiling programs from back in the machine code days through C. Now that I am retired, I am not interested in learning all about Linux to supoort my ham radio hobby. I am just interested in using Linux as a tool to accomplish what I want to do in the hobby. I could just as easily bought a modern Windows computer and gone the same way that many others do, and put up with the trojans and virus attacks. But Linux seemed to be an easier way to avoid a lot of the malware problems, and the ham radio applications were there.

As in the engineering design days, my job was to come up with a solution to a problem. That did not require me to spend a lot of time figuring out the very best solution to a problem - just a solution to a problem that was reliable and worked. I guess I am still in that mindset - Linux and FLdigi are a solution to a problem that works - not the most elegent solution to be sure. Compiling everything from scratch would seem to be a lot more elegant but is the time required to learn yet another compiling system really worth it? When the results are available when using the more simpistic approach, why not use them?

More than you wanted to know, I am sure.

Jim , W5ZIT ,
As a comment to your posting ,my opinion : It is and remains always right
to learn something new !
If only to keep that grey matter in the head as active as possible ,
especially when retired.
And not necessarily just for instant satisfaction.

What does one do to get around this? Is there something running that has to be stopped? Is there a step-by-step process documented anywhere that explains the proper way to do all this? I really thought that because I had successfully gotten FLdigi up and running, this would be a breeze. Wrong. Perhaps, if I can fix this, the rest will go according to the instructions?

Well let's see if we can get you up and running. The error is probably
because you also have Synaptic running. It's one or the other, but not
both at the same time.

The only program from the repository is fldigi, the rest you need to
build from source, you can and should also build fldigi from source.
Which once you have the needed tools in place, its not that difficlt.

Somewhere along the line we missed a connection. You are trying to build
the .bin of flrig, you need to build the tar.gz. I don't know where we
parted ways, but let's get back on track.

You need to use the how-to from here ::


https://fedorahosted.org/fldigi/wiki/Documentation/HOWTO/Mint17_installation

You need to follow this step by step, and take your time. Just sub the
current flrig version in place of fldigi. The latest version is 1.3.16
Get stuck, stop and drop a note here or to me off list. Either works.

We can do this, one way or the other.

Thanks Ed. I'm exhausted and will go through the steps again, I want to learn about the best way to do these things.

I'm currently working on two books that I need to finish, so ham radio may take a backseat during the week. Life has a way of getting in the way of play time.


I'll report back as I progress.
