Building on Ubuntu 16.04

[jrobinson-uk]

Hi I'm trying to build dl-fldigi on Ubuntu 16.04, I'm certain I've gotten all dependencies installed and am following this guide to installing:

https://ukhas.org.uk/projects:dl-fldigi:build-ubuntu

I have successfully compiled on a Raspberry Pi but my Ubuntu install drops out with this

Makefile:2407: recipe for target 'dl_fldigi-newinstall.o' failed
make[2]: *** [dl_fldigi-newinstall.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/james/csdr/dl-fldigi/src'
Makefile:984: recipe for target 'all' failed

It looks like this is because the fltk library has changed, defining a new 'set_active' function, which clashes with a function from upstream fldigi. There's then a second linking problem involving libcrypto that I haven't dug into.

I got it to build with this hacky patch. The proper solution would probably be to rebase and update the version of fldigi we are modifying. But that's unlikely to happen as dl-fldigi doesn't really have a maintainer right now.

I haven't tried running it.

@danielrichman patch works at ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS

I am having similar issues but the patch doesn't work for me. it looks like there is something wrong with the double_speed_test function but I haven't managed to work out how to resolve.

@verox-syrion as you have it working, is it possible you would make and distribute a binary?

Amazing, much appreciated. I have spent days trying so many ways of getting this on 16.04

Hello. Getting same error when trying to compile on my gentoo laptop. Provided patch did not work for me. Looking forward to getting this resolved so I can use dl-fldigi for my balloon :)

[tonyyates]

I think basically there are a number of dependencies that have not maintained compatibility. I created a virtual machine of Ubuntu 14.04 and it installed as per the instructions without problem. I have also thought about building a docker container linked to a pulse audio container to try and resolve this. If I get anywhere I will report back.

I've just came back from business trip. Will post compiled binary later today.

I believe some of the forks -- https://github.com/hexameron/dl-fldigi and https://github.com/jamescoxon/dl-fldigi especially - have a lot of new commits that bring compatibility with latest ubuntu among other things.

Tony, Here is complete archive which can be compiled on ubuntu 16.04. There is also binary in it. http://sp9uob.verox.pl/pliki/dl-fldigi-3.1-ubnt.tar.bz2 2017-05-19 11:37 GMT+02:00 Tony Yates <notifications@github.com>:
