1.6.1 Build fail in Mageia cauldron - missing reliable_text.h

[barjac]

Attempting to update our Mageia package I have hit this:- In file included from /home/baz/rpmbuild/BUILD/freedv-gui-1.6.1/src/main.h:95, from /home/baz/rpmbuild/BUILD/freedv-gui-1.6.1/src/dlg_audiooptions.cpp:22: /home/baz/rpmbuild/BUILD/freedv-gui-1.6.1/src/freedv_interface.h:34:10: fatal error: reliable_text.h: No such file or directory 34 | #include "reliable_text.h"

reliable_text.h does not seem to be provided by anything that I can find.

Building against codec2-1.0.0 and wxgtk3.0 (or 3.1).

Hi @barjac - I think relaible_text.h is available in codec2/master. The feature (and freedv 1.6.1) was only recently developed, so we don't have a corresponding codec2 tag.

@drowe67, is codec2 ready to tag as 1.0.1?

[drowe67]

Here you go: https://github.com/drowe67/codec2/releases/tag/v1.0.1

@barjc, let us know if that release works and we can close out this issue.

[barjac]

Hi, Yes, thanks, that has fixed the problem, however there is still a minor issue with the package build related to lpcnet_get_hash() which is called in the 'About' dialogue. This is not defined anywhere that I can find, so for now I have removed it from /src/ongui.cpp. Line 154.

- FREEDV_VERSION, FREEDV_VERSION, GIT_HASH, freedv_get_hash(), lpcnet_get_hash());
+ FREEDV_VERSION, FREEDV_VERSION, GIT_HASH, freedv_get_hash());

Located:

https://github.com/drowe67/LPCNet/blob/master/src/lpcnet_freedv.h#L23

LPCNet is imported into the build in the build_linux.sh script I believe, so would be in the library produced and linked.

[barjac]

OMG! I never saw that script before. I can't imagine how that process can be packaged. My first thought is that we would need a vanilla codec2 package available in the repos, but I will consider our options. Thanks for alerting me to this!

freedv, codec2 and lpcnetfreedv are all packaged separately in Fedora, you could look at how it's done by downloading the src rpms from https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packages

@barjac, any updates on this?

[barjac]

Hi, Yes I have managed to get a working(?) package built now by adding a switch in the codec2 package spec to allow a temporary vanilla build. All very messy and easy to break if another packager pushes a build without knowing the right hoops to jump through and in which order. Or if I forget. :( Testing is a problem as I have yet to find a live transmission on any band. Also the configuration is beyond comprehension for a casual user, which possibly explains the lack of signals. I have had some success with the audio file samples, so it seems to be working on RX at least.

[drowe67]

Closing this as I don't think it requires any further freedv-gui or codec2 coding, it's more a packaging project for a specific distro. Happy to re-open if further assistance is required.
