While the - manufacturers are not interested in becoming software houses, they do - adequately document the computer control capabilities which allow - independent control software to be written. With the myriad possibilities - of radios and manufacturers available, writing that ultimate logging or - PSK31 application can be a daunting task if even basic - radio control support is desired. The Ham Radio Control Libraries project - aims to develop a solution to this problem. - -
- Overview of Hamlib - Hamlib itself is not an end-user application for radio - control. Rather, it is a collection of libraries, both shared, or - dynamic linked libraries, if you will, and static libraries that - provide end-user applications with - a common means of acessing and controlling radios (and perhaps other - ham radio related peripheral devices in the future) directly connected - to a computer or remotely over a network. Hamlib is currently being - developed on the Linux operating system, but plans include it being - usable on various flavors of UNIX and - Windows, or whatever platform GNU autoconf - will support. - - Hamlib consists of several parts. The application programming - interface, API, shared library is - libhamlib-&curver;.so which is installed in - /usr/local/lib by default. - For ease of use when linking, - libhamlib.so is provided as a - symbolic link to the latest version of Hamlib installed. Of course, - the installation directory may be changed by passing the proper - option to the configure script in the base - directory of the source distribution. While the static library is - libhamlib.a and installed in /usr/local/lib as well. - - The second main part of Hamlib consists of a number of - "backend" libraries each able to communicate to a specific radio. - For example, libhamlib-ft747.so is the shared - backend library that provides Hamlib access to the Yaesu FT-747 - radio. By default the backend libraries are also installed in - /usr/local/lib. Both shared - and static libraries are provided by the default - installation. -

- Hamlib is Free Software - The Hamlib libraries are Free - Software licensed under the GNU Public License, GPL, - version 2. It is important to be aware that use of Hamlib in a - proprietary program has severe restrictions placed on it by the - GPL. As a result one must carefully consider - what kind of license to use for your program. Of course we - encourage using the GPL for your program as it - adds to the pool of available Free Software to the ham - community. - - The advantages of Free Software are multitude, but the primary ones - include accessability of your code to others who can fix problems or - add new functionality. Another advantage is that your code is - always available to be studied by other experimenters and your code - has a much lower chance of becoming dead bits that can't be used on - newer operating systems. For an experimenter's hobby like ham - radio, Free Software offers many more advantages than disadvantages - to you and the ham community. -

- Hamlib development resources - If you are interested in working on Hamlib development itself, - there exist a few resources on the World Wide Web. The main project - page is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/hamlib/. - A homepage is currently in development at http://hamlib.sourceforge.net - A development mailing list is hosted by http://sourceforge.net. Subscription information and an archive - can be accessed through the Hamlib project main page. -
- -
- Getting Hamlib - At this time Hamlib is not included as a binary package in any - major distribution that we're aware of (hopefully this will change - soon). Until then you may retrieve the source from the Hamlib project - page at http://sourceforge.net/projects/hamlib/. - -
- Latest stable version - The latest stable version is &curver;. Currently the project is - in its early stages and only a few backend libraries are included. - Hamlib is currently in heavy development. -
- -
- Latest development version - The latest development code is available via anonymous - CVS through the - project - page. - -
- Accessing anonymous CVS - The following instructions are copied from the - Sourceforge website - (modified with hamlib in the right places) and did work for me. - -
- Anonymous CVS instructions - Hamlib's SourceForge CVS repository can be checked out through - anonymous (pserver) CVS with the following instruction set. When - prompted for a password for anonymous, simply - press the Enter key. - - - myhost:~/src $ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.hamlib.\ - > sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/hamlib login - myhost:~/src $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.hamlib.\ - > sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/hamlib co hamlib - - - Working with long commandlines - Long commands like those above are difficult to work with - because once the line wraps the bash(1) shell - seems to start doing weird things. The trick is breaking the line - into two (or more) parts with the \ character. - When the right edge of the screen is reached simply add - \ to the end of the text you are typing and - then press - Enter. You will receive a > - from bash(1) and you may continue typing the - command. If there is no space character in the command you are - typing, be sure you don't add a space before the \ - or at the beginning of the next line. If you break the line where - a space would exist in the command, either putting the space before - the \ or at the beginning of the next line. - bash(1) will splice the lines together to form one - command once it receives a Enter character not - preceded by a \. - - - Updates from within the hamlib directory do not need the - -d parameter. - - If you get the following error: - cvs login: failed to open /home/user/.cvspass for reading: - No such file or directory - cvs [login aborted]: fatal error: exiting - - You can probably solve this by using the touch - command to create the file .cvspass in your home - directory: - - - myhost:~ $ touch .cvspass - - -

- Building Hamlib - Building Hamlib from source isn't as daunting as it may seem - at first, thanks to GNU autoconf, a tool used by - the developers that generates the configure - script found in the base directory of the source distribution. - Running configure will test your system to be - sure that any required packages for building Hamlib are present. - While configure checks for many components, the - only critical dependency is that the C library development header - files are installed. Of course, you'll need a C compiler and its - associated libraries. - -
- Unpacking the source archive - While my favorite method of unpacking - .tar.gz files is to use the Linux version of - the Swiss Army Knife, Midnight Commander, the instructions - provided are for using tar at the command - prompt. - -
- Using <command>tar</command> to extract the archive - The first order of business is choosing a location for the - source distribution. Some may choose to place the archive under - /usr/local/src, or may - prefer to work within their home directory. The disadvantage of - working in /usr/local/src - is that one must either be logged in as root or - be a member of a group such as staff that has - write permissions on the directory. The advantage of working in - one's home directory is that writing and deleting files can be - done with much lower risk of damage to the system areas of the - filesystem. Either way, you will need to be logged in as - root to install the libraries after compiling. - On with unpacking the archive. - - For this example I will make a few assumptions, the archive - is downloaded and stored in ~/Download - and the source distribution will be installed in ~/src. - - - Interpreting <filename class="directory">~</filename> - If you are new to UNIX type - systems, you may be puzzled just what ~ - prepended to a path name means. It is simply a short hand for - your home directory. If your user name is - fred, then ~ refers to - /home/fred on most - systems, of course there are exceptions. If you are logged in - as root then ~ refers to - /root. - - - The following sequence of commands will get the Hamlib - archive to the right place (substitute your paths in the - examples). First we'll move the archive into the directory where - it will be extracted then use the tar command to extract the - archive into its own directory. - - - myhost:~ $ mv Download/hamlib-&curver;.tar.gz src - myhost:~ $ cd src - myhost:~/src $ tar xvfz hamlib-&curver;.tar.gz - - - Now you should have a directory called hamlib-&curver; - in the directory you executed the tar command. - This would be a good time to familiarize yourself with the files in - the archive. -
-
- -
- Compiling Hamlib - Thanks to the clever design of GNU autoconf - compiling Hamlib is as easy as running: - - - myhost:~/src/hamlib-&curver; $ ./configure - - - The configure script checks for the presence of - the proper development files required to build Hamlib. After the checks - configure then creates the Makefiles from the - included templates in the archive. The next step is to compile - Hamlib: - - - myhost:~/src/hamlib-&curver; $ make - - - Now there should be considerable output to the screen during - the compile process. The main thing here is to make sure that - gcc doesn't fail while reporting an error. The most - common failure is a message saying that a certain file cannot be - found. Most likely the named file will have a .h - extension which means the development files of a required library - aren't installed on your system. As of this writing only the glibc - development files are required. -

- -
- Summary - Hamlib is a tool for software authors wishing to take advantage of - the computer control capabilities of modern transceivers and other - devices used around the radio shack. When Hamlib reaches maturity - it will likely be available in your favorite packaging format and - manually compiling it won't be necessary unless you wish to customize - Hamlib itself. - - The remainder of this manual assumes a working knowledge of - UNIX type systems. If you are new to Linux, - I suggest getting a copy of Running Linux by O'Reilly and Associates - from your local bookstore. You can preview this excellent reference - on the Web at http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/runux3/. -

The first - PCs hams used combined with an interface also known as a terminal unit, - TU, replaced the noisy mechanical radio teletype, - RTTY, machines. Gradually, other uses became apparent - for the hamshack PC such as logging contact information, operating newer - digital modes such as AMTOR, a forward error correcting - (FEC) mode of RTTY, and packet, an - error checked way of transfering binary data between computers. - - In the mid to late 1980s radio manufacturers began to offer computer - control capability to their offerings. Now the shack PC had one more duty - added to its repertoire. However, the amount of control over a given - radio's capability by computer control was often much less than from the - front panel. In large part was due to many analog controls on the front - panel that weren't under control of the radio's CPU. - Thus most radio control has been limited to control of frequency values - of the variable frequency - oscillators, VFO, and recalling and setting the radio's - memory channels. - - More recent models have more of the front panel controls under the - supervision of the radio's CPU, consequently - manufacturers have enabled more control of the radio's functions through - the computer interface. This has created an explosion of command functions - not just between the different manufacturers, but also among a given - manufacturer's product line. There may also exist subtle differences in - later versions of a given model. - - For the software author wishing to incorporate even the most basic of - radio control functions, the task is daunting. Even the long lived logging - program CT by Ken Wolff, K1EA has reports of subtle - bugs in one radio model or another (this is not intended as a knock of Ken - or his effort, rather it is an observation of the complexity of supporting - a multitude of radios in a monolithic program by one or a few authors). Is - every programmer doomed to recreate radio control themselves with varying - degrees of success? The answer is, no! - - Enter the Hamlib project. Hamlib aims to provide application authors - with a single application programming interface, API, - regardless of the actual radio in use. Thus Hamlib is not an end user - application, but is a middle software layer that acts as a translator - between the API and the specific radio commands. - - This manual will attempt to explain in detail the Hamlib API - , how to use Hamlib for writing radio control software, how to - write a radio backend library, and an overview of Hamlib's structure and - design. - - Finally, Hamlib is Free Software licensed under the GNU Public - License, GPL, version 2. This will have certain - implications if you are a software author considering using Hamlib as a - part of your project.
