Today I have ugraded the software on the shack computer to tlf-0.9.23 and hamlib-1.2.4, in preparation for the eusprint contest tomorrow. Tlf did not compile out-of-the-box, it wanted the ncurses-dev library. After I installed that, everything went without a problem. I only forgot to compile tlf with the --enable-hamlib directive, so I had to do it twice :).

Hamlib-1.2.4 also built without errors. This latest release includes support for my ORION, and I was eager to know if it worked as well as the driver I had written for tlf. I was not disappointed. Everything runs like clockwork!

I also wrote a small script to start to start cwdaemon. On UBUNTU-0.5 it reads:

#! /bin/sh
echo "starting cwdaemon"
rmmod lp
cd /dev
mknod -m 0660 parport0 c 99 0
cwdaemon -x b
