The following development libraries need to be present and installed on your system before you compile Fldigi. 1. Fast Light Tool Kit - FLTK version 1.1.7 or greater. * configure the compilation of Fltk as: o ./configure --enable-threads --enable-xft --enable-shared o if you do not use the --enable-xft switch you will get segfaults when selecting True Type fonts for display!! o if you do not use the --enable-threads the application will not compile and link o if you do not have the jpeg, png and zlib libraries on your system you can compile them for local use by fltk. Add the following to the ./configure line --enable-localjpeg --enable-localpng --enable-localzlib * then simply execute make and make install (make install as super user) 2. Hamlib - The hamlib library is required if you plan to interface to your transceiver using those common libs. You can also use the fldigi internal RigCAT controller and avoid the use of hamlib. If you compile for hamlib the RigCAT functionality is still compiled into fldigi. Hamlib Library Source the latest release is 1.2.6, download this release. Follow the instruction in the source code top directory. The library must be installed as super user. You should compile as your normal login user. The precompiled hamlib RPM and DEB distributions usually work OK. 3. PortAudio - you will need to build and install both libportaudio and libportaudiocpp. See website, www.portaudio.com 4. Sndfile - you will need to build and install libsndfile. See website, http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile by Erik de Castro Lopo. Erik is also the author of the resampling library that is used in fldigi to compensate for the sound card offsets.
