wsjtx and fldigi not installing

 

i watched the setup video and got many applications working but i cant get the above to install.
(pi4 running new download of Buster on 32gb card wired network)
I re-ran the build a pi and it showed not installed, so i seleted it again and ran through it. still no luck, i remembered that some parts of Europe are blocked from seeing princeton.edu? and looking at the log file its happening can you set a fall-back to get the files from sourceforge please?

i will post a follow-up on fldigi?

here is the output of the attempt to get wsjtx

?Run BAP ver. 3.0.2 and it wil fix this!

73 de LB9EH Bj?rn
 

it does not fix this

access to princton.edu is blocked here so it times out, a fall back to sourceforge would fix it.

fldigi is the only package of that series that wont install - i have deleted the pi-build install files folder as per another answer and git pull'd the latest one but ffldigi must have a compile error. the files are there but no completed binary.

where is the pi-build log for this latest - i could upload the outpu.

Dave, I built a new image on a pi 3 overnight. FLDIGI installed ok. Can you try using the build a pi update script to install and see if that works please.

Hi
I tried the update this afternoon (local time) before reading this post? and it still didn't work, so I tried stepping backwards?

I re-flashed the sdcare from the same file? and then downloaded the latest pi-build, installed and ran it and then just set it to only install Fldigi. It worked :)

However I'd forgotten to grab my preferred hamlib at the same time and then run the fldigi setup.? So I installed it and FLRIG at the same time and that worked? 'out of the box' and I pointed fldigi at flrig - that worked too.

I've not tried a contact with it yet but I'm seeing CW being decoded and a TX sends too. So thanks for your work again.

If I could only crack wsjtx install now - their website has been blocked? at ISP level for months now.

I included what I hope to be a work around for you in the dev version of BAP. If you want to test, do the following:

cd ~/pi-build
git checkout dev
git pull

Now run the update script from the Pi Menu and ONLY choose WSJTX. Please let me know if it works or fails. After the install attempt run

cd ~/pi-build
git checkout master

This will get you out of the development code and back to the stable version.

Hi
I'm more of a noobie with Git, see below.
=========================================================
pi@raspberrypi:~/pi-build $ git checkout dev
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout:
build-a-pi
Please commit your changes or stash them before you switch branches.
Aborting
pi@raspberrypi:~/pi-build $

==========================================================
Then I tried to tell Git who I was by below
===========================================================
pi@raspberrypi:~/pi-build $ git commit

*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

? git config --global user.email "you@..."

===========================================================
I did with my email address & Then tried git commit
===========================================================
pi@raspberrypi:~/pi-build $ git commit

*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

? git config --global user.email "you@..."
? git config --global "Your Name"

to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

fatal: empty ident name (for <davekh@...>) not allowed
========================================================

I tried it without --global?? but can feel myself going away from where the problem is.

Regards
Dave

No worries. We just need a different approach. Run the following

cd ~
rm -rf ~/pi-build
git clone https://github.com/km4ack/pi-build.git
cd ~/pi-build
git checkout dev

Now try running the build a pi script from the pi menu. Once finished run:

cd ~/pi-build
git checkout master

This will get you out of the development code and back to the stable version.

After the failure, I assume it didn't try sourceforge?
