Problemm running fldigi on Raspberry Pi
I compile from source fldigi 4.2.04 in my Raspberry Pi, Bullseye 32 bit. There are some warnings, but at the end the compile and installation works.
But when I run the software, after the configuration wizard it crashes. The log file in the .fldigi folder is empty, so I cannot share any info. The step followed to compile it, are described in this page I use hamlib 4.6 beta. If I download the fldigi available on the Debian repository, v.4.1.18, it works well but uses hamlib 4.0.4 and I need the 4.6. Can someone help me to have fldigi working? |

开云体育I recommend this link as it's what I use and works every time. I've been compiling on my Pi for years.73, Cliff, AE5ZA

开云体育Looking at your link it doesn't mention the libraries that are probably missing. Following the details on the link I sent and you'll see what I mean.73, Cliff, AE5ZA

开云体育If you can find a newer one then can't you install that to replace the older one?Please post the errors you got in the "make" so we can see the issues. 73, Cliff, AE5ZA

Hi Cliff,
I will post the make output asap. Some observations: - There was a change in the hamlib library, some reference were converted to pointers, so older version of fldigi doesn't compile. I try with the last issue of 4.1.27 and it doesn't complie. - If I install hamlib from the Bullseye repository, I'm not able to replace it by compiling the last 4.6, applications see the ones installed by the apt, I have to remove this one to make visible the 4.6. - Actually, when I compile fldigi using the guide I posted??, there aren't warning or errror for missing libraries. |
开云体育fldigi builds without error using the either the hamlib 4.6 archive source, or the latest pull from the hamlib remote git repository.As you probably already know, avoiding library conflicts is not the responsibility of the target application, but the person doing the compilation.
The Pi build instructions: ? works correctly on my Pi3, Pi4, and Pi5 Synaptic being used to
"remove all" references to hamlib 4.3.x
fldigi build info after
successful installation of latest hamlib built from git

Dave,
thanks for your reply. If I understand well, I have to use the build-dep command to be sure that all the libraries are available. After that I can remove the old hamlib 4.0 installed from the Bullseye repository and replace with the latest 4.6 github snapshot as I need. Then proceed with fldigi compilation. |
开云体育That is correct.? Make sure that libudev and libxft were both included with build-dep as those are now required libraries.David On 4/10/24 06:00, Johnny, IZ8EWD via

开云体育The difference in fldigi compilation will be negligible.? Linking will be a very little bit longer, but you should be able to measure that even on the Pi.? The header files are necessary for the compilation to correctly use the hamlib API.? Memory usage should be very similar, whether using a static .a file or load the shared .so at run time.David On 4/10/24 09:11, Johnny, IZ8EWD via

Sorry, another question. |
Dave,
I noticed that the procedure that he previously referenced to build fldigi has the following command extension:
?
./configure --enable-optimizations=rpi4
?
Adding this command to "./configure" causes make to error and not complete the compile, for me.

开云体育Ken,That parameter is only for 32bit RPI system. He says he is using 32 bit. If yours is 64 bit, like mine, you can't use that parameter. 73, Cliff, AE5ZA

Cliff,
I do not use it, just thought it might be contributing to the problem he was having, since I saw it in the command string on the website that was referenced.

Hope Spring has arrived in Texas!!

开云体育Hi Ken,It sure seems to be here, at least in NE Texas. We're in our third day of rain & T-storms, 3.3" in the first 24 hours. More next week they say also, glub, glub, glub. :-) 73, Cliff, AE5ZA

This ./config is strange:
checking for flxmlrpc >= 1.0.1... no checking for libmbedtls >= 2.16.0... no and flidigi use internal lib ? libmbedtls .................. internal lib ? flxmlrpc .................... internal lib If I check with apt libflxmlrpc-dev/oldstable,now 0.1.4-5+b6 armhf [installed] ? fldigi suite XmlRpc library - Development files libflxmlrpc1/oldstable,now 0.1.4-5+b6 armhf [installed,automatic] ? fldigi suite XmlRpc library libmbedtls-dev/oldstable,now 2.16.9-0.1 armhf [installed] ? lightweight crypto and SSL/TLS library - development files libmbedtls12/oldstable,now 2.16.9-0.1 armhf [installed,automatic] ? lightweight crypto and SSL/TLS library - tls library |
开云体育Start fldigi from the command line and once it crashes, you should see from crash details and/or a core dump.? Post those details here on this thread.? If you have the advanced skillset and If you're not getting a coredump, consider enabling core dumping on your operating system and send us the details.? This means you can enable coredumps on your system, rebuild Fldigi with debugging objects and DISABLE all optimizations.? Then run the instrumented version of Fldigi, get it to core dump, then send the decoded crashdump details (usually done using gdb) to the list here. --David KI6ZHD On 04/10/2024 11:13 AM, Johnny, IZ8EWD

I follow the previous suggestions but nothing to do. Compile is ok, but fldigi crashes after the configuration wizard. |
