About this "Alpha" version by OH1KH
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
This is a clone of Cqrlog source with some additons of my own.
|
||||
From folder "compiled" you find ready compiled binary files against official Cqrlog and for this "local_testing" source.
|
||||
There is also "newupdate.zip" that includes "newupdate.sh", a script that does Cqrlog backup and update for you with selected binary file.
|
||||
Same folder has also README.md that holds further informations.

|

|
||||
#### NOTE: Upgrading to 2.6.0.(115) ,or higer, will change database table "cqrlog_common" to version 6.
|
||||
If you return back to previous cqrlog version you need to restore the database.
|
||||
( if you used newupdate.sh it is to copy backup foder ~/.config/cqrlog-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS to name ~/.config/cqrlog )
|
||||
|
||||
#### NOTE: For now on alpha test binaries beginning from 2.6.0.(107) are compiled using system that has GLIBC version 2.35.
|
||||
If you can not start Cqrlog after update check your GLIBC version with command console: ***ldd --version***
|
||||
Update GLIBC if it is below 2.3.5.
|
||||
If you do not want to do that you can compile this source (see 1 folder up) with your current OS version and get it running.
|
||||
Note that the source version is usually one step higher than ready compiled versions.
|
||||
|
||||
#### NOTE: At the moment there is no new official version source release. That is why Alpha (119) is ***VERY far ahead*** from official.
|
||||
From [Changelog](https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/OH1KH/cqrlog/blob/loc_testing/src/changelog.html)
|
||||
you can see all changes. It appears also at first start of (119), and can be accessed via "Help" when Cqrlog is running.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Latest cqrlog alpha test binaries can be found from this folder.
|
||||
This folder holds ready compiled binary files of source "loc_testing" that is the version of cqrlog that I am using myself daily.
|
||||
They contain all accepted pull requests from official source (that may not be released offically yet) plus some test code that is not pull requested yet (and may not be pull requested ever)
|
||||
|
||||

------------------WARNINGS-----------------
|

===========================================
|
||||
|
||||
**This is NOT official release !**
|
||||
|
||||
***ALWAYS !! FIRST DO BACKUP OF YOUR LOGS AND SETTINGS !!***
|
||||
|
||||
If you use script-install (see below) it makes backups for you.
|
||||
Otherwise see "manual-install (below).
|
||||
|
||||
In some cases it has happen that alpha binary compiled using Fedora linux may not run flawlessly with Ubuntu derivates.
|
||||
if you start to get mysterious errors it might be the reason.
|
||||
I have now added version that has no special additions from me. It is compiled with Mint20 from up to date official source.
|
||||
You could try that or otherwise consider to compile cqrlog either from official or from my alpha source.
|
||||
I have written few messages to Cqrlog forum how to make the compile.

-----------YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!------------
|

============================================

|

|
||||
### -------------------SCRIPT-INSTALL--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
**There is now new script for update. You need to download only the script and start it.**
|
||||
**It will do rest of downloads for you and then install updates.**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Use it this way:
|
||||
|
||||
Download newupdate.zip from GitHub page.
|
||||
- click blue link of newupdate.zip file. New page opens. You see that there is a button "Download" click it.
|
||||
Your browser downloads the zip. If it asks where to save, select folder from where you can find the zip.
|
||||
|
||||
Open command console. Go to your download directory.
|
||||
|
||||
cd [your download directory path]
|
||||
|
||||
Unzip newupdate.zip to find the newupdate.sh script:
|
||||
|
||||
unzip newupdate.zip
|
||||
|
||||
Then start newupdate.sh script with command:
|
||||
|
||||
./newupdate.sh
|
||||
|
||||
If you can not start script then check that you can execute newupdate.sh by giving a command:
|
||||
chmod a+x newupdate.sh
|
||||
Then try again to start script.
|
||||
|
||||
There has been one case where starting newupdate.sh it complains error at line 5 (arch bracket).
|
||||
In that case solution was to start newupdate.sh as:
|
||||
|
||||
bash newupdate.sh
|
||||
|
||||
That (Ubuntu 20) linux obviously did not had bash as default shell.
|
||||
|
||||
Script checks frist that you have cqrlog installed and that you have some other needed programs.
|
||||
If they are not found it will stop and tell what you should do before new try.
|
||||
|
||||
I have tested this script many times while writing it. How ever it may fail with your setup.
|
||||
|
||||
So you USE IT ON YOUR OWN RISK !
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a video showing update in use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_QLQhQyFVg&t
|
||||
|
||||
Other way to update is to do it manually as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
## -------------------MANUAL-INSTALL--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Simplest way to backup everything is to copy whole folder with console command
|
||||
|
||||
cp -a ~/.config/cqrlog ~/.config/cqrlog_save
|
||||
|
||||
After doing this, if you ever need to restore old settings and logs, just give console commands
|
||||
|
||||
rm -rf ~/.config/cqrlog
|
||||
cp -a ~/.config/cqrlog_save ~/.config/cqrlog
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
(you need to become root (sudo) using sudo to do following):
|
||||
|
||||
#### -------------INSTALL NEW HELP FILES----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Your /usr/share should usually contain folder cqrlog, if so, do install help files.
|
||||
|
||||
cd /usr/share/cqrlog
|
||||
sudo tar vxf /your/download/folder/help.tgz
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### ------------THEN INSTALL THE CQRLOG ITSELF---------
|
||||
|
||||
cd /tmp
|
||||
unzip /your/download/folder/cqr5.zip (cqr3.zip or cqr2.zip)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Then just copy '/tmp/cqrlog' over your existing 'cqrlog' (usually in /usr/bin folder)
|
||||
when first saving the old one to cqrlog_old that you can copy back if new one does not work.
|
||||
Then check execution rights.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo cp /usr/bin/cqrlog /usr/bin/cqrlog_old
|
||||
sudo cp /tmp/cqrlog /usr/bin/
|
||||
sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/cqrlog
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## -------------------MANUAL-COMPILE--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have a running Cqrlog installed you can do update also by making the compile from source code.
|
||||
For getting source code there are two ways:
|
||||
|
||||
clone my whole Git reporsitory using command terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/OH1KH/cqrlog.git
|
||||
|
||||
This will make folder "cqrlog" to your home directory if cloning is issued on that directory.
|
||||
After that, to get into Alpha branch, give command:
|
||||
|
||||
git checkout loc_testing
|
||||
|
||||
Now you have the Alpha source in hand.
|
||||
Good side with "git clone" is that on next time you like to upgrade you just open command console and change directory to "cqrlog" ("cd cqrlog") and issue command "git pull" and new updates are applied and you are ready to compile and install again.
|
||||
|
||||
Other way is to download just the current version's source with web browser from https://github.com/OH1KH/cqrlog/tree/loc_testing At that page you see green button "Code". By pressing that you find "Download.zip" that allows to download the source code as zip file.
|
||||
Once downloaded and extracted you are at same point as after "git checkout loc_testing" above.
|
||||
How ever you can not do new uptates later with "git pull". You have to download the zip file again.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have source you need tools to compile. Using command termnal install them.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt install lazarus
|
||||
|
||||
That will install FreePascal compiler and Lazarus GUI. Issuing that line results a long list of dependencies to install, just say Y (yes) to install them all.
|
||||
|
||||
If your Lazarus is very old from package you find latest version from https://www.lazarus-ide.org It is always recommended to use latest version as package versions can be very old, as seen with Cqrlog packages. At the moment lazarus-ide version is 2.2.6
|
||||
|
||||
When lazarus-ide is installed you need to change to source directory, either git cloned or extracted from zip. ("cd cqrlog")
|
||||
After that start the compile process, issue:
|
||||
|
||||
make
|
||||
|
||||
When compile has finished install the new Cqrlog with command
|
||||
|
||||
sudo make install
|
||||
|
||||
That is all!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
With some OS "make" result errors. Then usually using the lazarus-ide works.
|
||||
Start lazarus-ide typing that to command terminal, or start from startup menu icon "lazarus".
|
||||
At first start it goes through some settings. If all Tabs show OK you are ready to continue.
|
||||
|
||||
Lazarus starts first to empty form. Use top menu "Project/Open Project" and navigate to your "cqrlog" source folder. There you see subfolder "src". Navigate to that folder and you see "cqrlog.lpi". Open that.
|
||||
|
||||
Once opened select top menu "View/Messages" to see compiler messages. Then select top menu "Run/Compile".
|
||||
Wait and finally you should see a green line on Messages window. It means that compile is over.
|
||||
|
||||
You find new cqrlog from folder "src" as file "cqrlog"
|
||||
You can now try command terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
cd cqrlog (this is the source root folder, as before)
|
||||
sudo make install
|
||||
|
||||
If succeeded you have new version with new help installed. If not, you can just copy file "cqrlog" from folder "src" to "/usr/bin"
|
||||
There already exists a file named "cqrlog" (that is the old version) you can first copy it somewhere, if you like, before
|
||||
coping over the new one.
|
||||
You need "sudo" for this copy.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo cp src/cqrlog /usr/bin
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

# READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS!
|
||||
From version 2.5.2(102) on *and also official version compiled from source after 2021-02-15*
|
||||
Database opening has fixed so that special charcters like ÜéÄ etc. work properly with latest Freepascal version.
|
||||
This means that your earlier made loggings that have special charcters in qth, name, remarks etc.
|
||||
will show up as garbage. While your new loggings will show special charcters fine.
|
||||
|
||||
If you like them all show out ok you have to do full adif export/import from your log(s)
|
||||
*before you upgrade cqrlog*. Do it this way:
|
||||
1) Open cqrlog that is not updated yet.
|
||||
2) When in "Database Connection" window select your log to be exported.
|
||||
(if your cqrlog opens directly to NewQSO select File/Open or create new log
|
||||
to get "Database Connection" window. There uncheck "Open recent log after
|
||||
program start" and close cqrlog. Open cqrlog again and you are in "Database Connection" window )
|
||||
3) press "Utils" select "configuration/export" and give filename for example. "log"
|
||||
4) When done that open log and then open QSO list and /File/Export/Adif give filename
|
||||
and then check all checkboxes to make full ADIF export.
|
||||
5) Close cqrlog and make cqrlog update to new version
|
||||
6) Open new cqrlog and your log and confirm that special charcters are garbage.
|
||||
7) Close cqrlog. Open it again to get "Database Connection" window
|
||||
8) Press button "new log" Give log number and name. See that new log gets selected. Not open it yet.
|
||||
9) Press "utils" select "configuration/import" and find your newly created file example "log.ini"
|
||||
10) press on and after succesfull import open that log.
|
||||
11) Open QSO list File/import/ADIF and find and load your newly created full adif export file.
|
||||
12) Once loaded confirm that you can again see special characters properly and also new qso entries
|
||||
will have them properly.
|
||||
|
||||
## Do not try to be smart and try invent a shortcut for this 12 line guide
|
||||
|
||||
Update scirpt will do backups from old /usr/bin/cqrlog programs, so
|
||||
do not worry if you missed this and regret. Look at /usr/bin to find old cqrlog backups.
|
||||
copy one of them to name /usr/bin/cqrlog (you need sudo) and you can start guide above.
