moderated Anybody else running TQSL?
Harry Bloomberg, W3YJ
Is there anybody else out there running TQSL (Logbook of The World) under Linux? I upgraded from version 2.5.5 to 2.5.6 today and it now hangs when uploading QSOs. Fortunately I kept the old version around and it still works. I'm curious to know if this is a widespread issue or just happening to me or on Raspberry Pi OS. 73, Harry Bloomberg W3YJ

Hi Larry,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Haven’t tried any of the later versions on the Pi. It’s a pain to build, for me at least, so if you have a better way of getting later versions on the Pi I’d appreciate a note. What I have works without a hitch so probably shouldn’t mess with it, I think it is 2.5.3 maybe. If you find a resolution for 2.5.6 please notify the linuxham list.

My first build of TQSL was a pain because of all the library dependencies I had to identify and install. But once that's done it's not too bad to build, I've already built one upgrade. Yes, I'll let folks on the list know what I discover about the problem. 73, Harry W3YJ

I get a cmake error on my Debian 10.5 Linux Intel box:
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.13/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:137 (message): Could NOT find wxWidgets (missing: wxWidgets_LIBRARIES wxWidgets_INCLUDE_DIRS) Call Stack (most recent call first): /usr/share/cmake-3.13/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:378 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE) /usr/share/cmake-3.13/Modules/FindwxWidgets.cmake:963 (find_package_handle_standard_args) apps/CMakeLists.txt:16 (find_package) -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! 73, John W4JKL

Did anyone think to run build-dep first ?

Ed: This does not exist in the TQSL world, there's no such thing as build-dep there. Download the tar file for TQSL from ARRL and read INSTALL and you'll see what I mean. John: Is this the first time you've tried building TQSL? I needed to install wxWidgets for GTK+ libraries for runtime and development. What I'm curious about is if 2.5.5 worked for you but if you're having a problem with 2.5.6. 73, Harry W3YJ

I found this blog post which got me to successful installation on LinuxMint.
One of the items it addresses is wxWidgets. 73, Doug, W5DET

I had pulled the libraries forward to "Sid" to get a Ubuntu package to build, and forgot to set them back. The new TQSL builds OK now.

Harry, I've been progressively building the TQSL packages and running them with CQRLOG 2.4.0 (126) on this box. Debian 10.5 stable is way back at tqsl-2.4.3-1.

Cliff, HamPi which uses Ansible playbooks to build -- is able to build TQSL just fine. Let me know if you want the URL to the Ansible playbook for building TQSL. -Dave

Have you been able to sign and upload a QSO with 2.5.6? 73, Harry W3YJ

Harry,
On my Linux Mint 20 Xfce system, 2.5.5 worked fine. I just built/installed 2.5.6 from source, and it fails when I attempt to upload a new QSO: The upload window briefly appears then the whole TQSL program spontaneously closes with no error message, and I could not find any error log file anywhere. My Mint 20 system is fully up to date as of this morning (11/15/20). I'll investigate more, and if I don't find a solution I'll submit a report to the ARRL TQSL team. 73, -Joe- K0OG

John, thank you!!! This confirms that there's a problem with TQSL 2.5.6 under Linux and it's just not something specific to my Raspberry Pi. I will also submit a report to ARRL. In the meantime I've rolled back to 2.5.5 so it's not a critical problem for me. 73, Harry W3YJ

Harry,
I did some more testing by directly downloading the source from Sourceforge with git, and 2.5.6 still does not work. I even tried 2.5.6-beta, -rc1, and -rc2, but they fail as well. Built and installed from the 2.5.5 git tag, all works fine. I submitted a full report to the ARRL TQSL team, so let's hope they can implement a fix. I'll post a note here if a fix is forthcoming. 73, -Joe- K0OG

Thanks Joe! I'll file a report with ARRL also. Nice to know it's not just happening to me. 73, Harry W3YJ

I used TQSL 2.5.6 with CQRLOG this morning and uploaded and downloaded with no problems. I never use it without CQRLOG, so I only exercise the api.

The code available on the ARRL web site
(http://www.arrl.org/tqsl-download) builds perfectly without
error. Built on Oracle Enterprise Server 8, Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 8, CentOS, Suse Leap 15.2 and Suse Enterprise Linux.

Yes, it builds. The problem is that it's not uploading QSO for some of us. 73, Harry W3YJ

It's uploading QSOs for me -- Ubuntu 16.04 x86_64. So something is different between the machines that work and the ones that don't. 73, -- Dave Slotter, W3DJS
