Hi
?
The G8JCFSDR V 1.0.284, aka "Build 284" is available for
Download & Install.
What’s new in Build 284 ?
?? Windows XP Compatibility
?? Build 284 restores Windows XP compatibility. I think I
inadvertently broke XP compatibility in Build 280 – apologies to
all those running Windows XP.
Linux + Wine Compatibility
?? Build 284 brings the G8JCFSDR to the Linux + Wine environment
in a straightforward to install manner, ie as close to the
Windows install process/experience as possible.
I only have Ubuntu, Debian and Mint environments, so users with
other environments who can test things out would be most
welcome.
?
New Installer Technology
? Since its first release, the G8JCFSDR has used InstallShield
Express V3.5 SP4 installer technology from back in 2001 !!
Express is getting very long in the tooth,
? and just does not work properly under Windows 10. Express had
worked properly on every OS upto and including Windows 7, but
W10 broke it,
? (I used a W7 VM under W10 to carry on building the installer
packages, but it was getting quite tedious shipping files into
the
? W7 VM whenever a change was made.
? Anyway, I have finally bitten the bullet and summoned up the
courage to try something different and upto date, driven by the
W10 problem,
? and the need for something a lot more flexible to deal with
the needs of the Linux + Wine environment,
? so I settled on INNO setup (with PERL scripting handling the
LINUX specific bits).
? I would also like to know that the new installer works
properly, and of course that means “guinea pigs” aka field
testers please !!
? Any problems, suggestions for improvements would be most
gratefully received.
The G8JCFSDR Build 284 has been tested under
Mint 19.3 Tricia with Wine 4.0 (32 bit)
Mint 20 Ulyana with Wine 5.0 (64bit)
?
Debian Bookworm 64bit with Wine+Box64 - use Pi-Apps to
install Wine, Box64 and all their dependancies
The setup program may be downloaded from
On a windows machine just install the G8JCFSDR with a
double-click, ie just like you would for any setup.exe.
On a Linux + Wine system, you may find that you need to open up
a terminal session
cd ~/Downloads???? #or wherever you have downloaded the setup
program to
then type
wine setup_G8JCFSDR_284.exe
and follow the on-screen instructions. I have attached the Linux
+ Wine section of the G8JCFSDR User Guide covering installation
on Linux + Wine systems, NB the instructions refer to COM1 but
the script will in fact use COM16 (I need to update the User
Guide) which is a highly unlikely COM port mapping - the
majority of Windows programs can only deal with COM1 - COM4, so
a 'collision'? with an existing wine COM port mapping should be
highly unlikely.
The only difference between the Windows install process and the
Linux + Wine process is that an additional pre-install step will
be displayed before the traditional (for Windows) gui installer
kicks in.
Any suggestions for improvements, problems, bug reports, would
be most appreciated.
Many Thanks & 73
