By the way, I will assume throughout that you are connected to a live Internet connection and have already figured out how to log in. If it has been a bit since you lastupdated your Pi, you might want to do that first. I am going to assume you have already installed the software, and performed the inital configuartion, but not much more. But you might want to plan to take a couple of breaks along the way.īefore you begin, you need a running Pi. One thing I will point out is that this is a long process, partly because of the number of packages that need to be fetched and installed and partly because of the capabilities of the pi. This is just what I did, and what I wrestled with getting there. So I will help here by taking you down the road I went, but I don’t guarentee you will get there from here. And I thank the developers for providing the source code that allows me to do this.īut, like most software, when you start down the path of compilation, you occasionally have to make a detour (or three) to get it working right. I did try downloading the precompiled binary but at least for version 3.21.78, the binary did not run on the pi, even though it ran without issues on Ubuntu on my netbook. You can pull a version from the repos with: sudo apt-get install fldigiīut the version you are grabbing may not be the most recent one, and there are occasionally some issues with backwards compatability. But getting from here to there is not straight forward. Whatever your reason, the raspberry pi is not the ideal platform to run fldigi on, but it is not a bad platform for demonstrations, and testing. And maybe, you are like me, and when asked I said, “Because I can?” Maybe you feel like you need practice compiling software. Why, one might ask, would one want to run fldigi on a raspberry pi? Perhaps you want to get familiar with Linux before sacrificing a larger system to it.
