svxlink Does not compile on Debian Sid

[sm0svx]

Hello,
it seems svxlink 11.05 does not compile, not for me, and not for other users on #hamradio freenode.

I installed all the required dependences, it looks like some internal bug.

The error is:

There is a bookworm Ver24.02-1 version on debian sid and debian trixie now. It also has issues. The package libgpiod-dev is not included, but that is not the issue. Despite being otherwise complete the GPIOD functionality is absent - GPIOD is not recognised as a type in SQL_TYPE=GPIOD. Proably the same would be in the PTT_TYPE=GPIOD too, but I configure that by using Hidraw.

Please notice that Debian SID is version Debian Unstable (also known by its codename "Sid") is not strictly a release, but rather a rolling development version of the Debian distribution containing the latest packages that have been introduced into Debian.

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUnstable

Debian v13 Trixie is : This release started as a copy of bookworm, and is currently in a state called "testing".

So for all distribution we need to install libgpiod-dev by

apt install -y libgpiod2 libgpiod-dev gpiod

before compile svxlink

Please look on info: https://packages.debian.org/trixie/arm64/libgpiod-dev

Thanks for that Waldek, Most interesting. I knew that the Sid was going to be less reliable, but the tribe produced problems for the Public key. Is Debian 13 a thing yet? Many thanks Chris

In my opinion, it is currently recommended to use the system for svxlink Debian v11 or v12. I use both versions and they work predictably and stably. Debian v13 is too early for 24-hour systems, etc., but it is worth testing and checking the operation of svxlink in order to recommend it later :-)

To be frank I had almost given up. One version I called showed that is was version 19, which of course is not current and lacks the code for gpiod. I’ve been compiling from source comfortably - my record is 43 minutes from insertion off sdcard to working node, sudo apt install is much faster provided the version is uptodate. I’ll try again later. Thanks Chris

I always compile and update versions from github
Depending on the SBC, the compilation time is from 30 to 40 minutes, but the compilation time is not a problem for me, I always prefer to have the current version of svxlink.

If your CPU has 4 cores you can use the compilation option

make -j4

then you will shorten compilation time :-)
