Today I took a Tarball called gMFSK which was last checked out on
Red Hat 9, and with the help of many on this list I ./configure --
xxx --xxxx and when that went clean I used "make" and that errored
out because I was missing a stupid thing I yummed from Fedora. Then
as root I make install and that worked. Right now it is using the
sound card to decode PSK-31 from my radio on 14.070 MHz. This was the
fastest I ever got this working on a new Linux version.
You can be sure when Hemmi wrote this software Fedora was not
invented. And be sure that F7 is Linux first and Fedora for
applications and such second. I need help with both Linux and Fedora
Core 6 applications and I sure get them here :-)
Hi Karl,
Community members who hang out here much appreciate the positive vibe :)
Sounds like a cool piece of software. Have you had any experience in
packaging software into an rpm ?
It isn't really that hard to do {but can be intimidating}, and it
seems that there are already rpms for other distributions that could
be used as a starting point.
What would you get out of it ?
In the future you or any fedora user would be able to:
yum install gMFSK and the software would "just work".
While I am willing to help, I don't have the hardware to test with, so
you would need to be involved.

Hi DaveT. I made a rpm about 5 years ago and I did print out Maximum
RPM. But this software is for Amateur Radio which is a hobby that is
going to fail. There are very few users these days. But I chatted with
the Canary Islands last evening using this software. What I yummed was
fftw which is a math program for Linux and Windows.
That said I will be happy to get help making the RPM. I have never
made a list of dependants for a RPM.
Karl
