Hi
Just booted up 4.01...HOORAY my broadcom wifi card works again!
So I am starting again to try and make a svxlink/qtel puppy.
The problem I keep running into is qt, which this very handy ham radio app depends on.
All of the petget qtlib packages are somehow incomplete, so I tried to compile qt from source. It is too big and crashes the whole shebang.`
All the other dependencies (libsigc++-1.2. spandsp, gsm and tcl) compiled ok.
Any suggestions?
How to get qtlib dependent stuff to compile?
@VK6FUN,
when you've installed the petget qtlib package, and try running the app's binary/executable from the commandline, what error message are you getting? Plus, if the app's binary is located in /usr/bin and, not knowing what it's called I'll assume xxx, what's the output from running:
If this shows that you're missing libQt3Support.so.4, it's available here

Code: Select all
ldd /usr/bin/xxxWell qtlibs doesn't have an executable binary afaict. Its just a bunch of so's and headers. The whole qt environment is >100M zipped up and needs a bigger partition than puppy can provide in order to compile it all. Maybe I can just make some targets from the makefile......It will be an educated guess which ones... I'll try it and let ya know.
Compiling the qtel application fails when gmake goes looking for the qt networking libs like qtdns.h
maybe this should really be posted in developer's?

Thanks muggins for getting back to me with that cool info.I have never used turma before. Looks really useful!
I have lifted the thread I have going at svxlink-devel and pasted it here.
Me and Tobias the svxlink main man.

I have not looked at Qt 4 but I think that Qtel would have to be changed to
work with Qt 4. Qt 3 is probably your safest bet.

You only need Qt if you are going to run Qtel but maybe that is your goal. If you are only going to use the SvxLink Server, no Qt is needed.

It should be sufficient to setup the environment variable QTDIR to pointto your /opt/qt-3.3.6 directory or whatever it's called. The directory that QTDIR points to should contain a lib, bin and include directory.

I'm out of town at the moment, so can't compile it for you, but if you provide a link to the particular source tarball you're trying to compile, I can have a go at compiling it on the weekend.
Also, I'm a bit dizzy with where puppy is at the moment, what response do you get if you enter uname -r on your target puppy?

hi VK6FUN,
i'm using ttuuxxxs qt-4.4.1 and compilation of qt4-apps (normally) does work.

TNX! aragon you are truly a puppy trainer of rare perseverence.
I got it to compile on Ubuntu Hardy no probs.
The missing ingredient is "libqt3-mt-dev"
How to make an equivalent puppy lib set is beyond me <8*{

I have managed to get the qt3-mt-dev library working on puppy.
Herre's what I did:
In my ubuntu hardy installation I found /usr/share/doc/qt3-mt-dev/README.debian
Here was the clue. The libs were in /usr/share/qt3
so I copied that directory, along with various stuff from /usr/include and /usr/lib (mainly symlinks) to puppy and bingo!
anyway if anyone wants more details of this fix let me know. I guess it would be trivial to make a pet but I dunno how to do that yet...
So stay tuned for v1 of "PuppyLink" It's nearly ready to release.....

How to get qtlib dependent stuff to compile?
Hi Pete
If you need a beta tester, let me know. I'm very interested in getting QTeL running under Puppy. I've used it on the Knoppix distro, seems to work well.
tnx es 73

Yes I have built a "PuppyLink v 0.0.1". The iso is presently 129M and I am looking for somewhere to upload it and announce it and so on. Any help appreciated.
I have not been able to do much coz the sound card in this Dell D600 is cactus. I'm running 4.1 Whats the best way to get the iso to you?
I was going to see if my local repeater group (warg) were interested in assisting. V0.0.1 has been built with warg wallpaper
I would also like to experiment with pruning puppy to the max so that svxlink could be embedded in repeater controllers. A 50M iso would be a target.

qtel iso
Hi Pete,
Glad to hear you have a proto version running!
I have a Roadrunner account, but it's limited to 100MB total and I have a bunch there already.
Is there a "dev-only" area on ibiblio.org that will take "pre-baked" SW (I'm new to the Linux/Puppy development activities, so this may not be an option).
Worst case, I know my Roadrunner account can take 20MB email attachments if you can split it up....I know, pretty lame, but I've done this before)

Puppylink 0.0.1 downloaded and running!!
Hi Pete,
Well, it took a while to get the file downloaded from the other side of the world, but I burned the CD and it's running good. Have had a few video/crash issues, but I suspect it's on my end. Will play with it some more. If you're interested, we can set up a time to have a "qtel QSO".
If you have any plans to make this a standalone binary, I'd sure be interested. Would like to ahve an "all-in-one" with fldigi,fl-logbook, and qtel...the ultimate Linux ham radio CD!!
tnx agn for all the efforts and 73!!
