Build Script Error

Running the debian build script I get the following error:

./fullbuild-wfview.sh
./fullbuild-wfview.sh: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token newline' ./fullbuild-wfview.sh: line 1:

HI Paul,

It sounds like the build script was not downloaded properly.

Did you see this video? It shows exactly how I build wfview:

You have to make certain to download the script “raw” and not accidentally download a page of HTML. And don’t forget the chmod command.

Let us know if that helps.

Got a little further then this…wouldn’t get to the point of compiling.

Hi Paul.

That looks to me like you have a problem with your Ubuntu installation as the standard apt package manager is failing, most likely due to limited space in your root partition?

What is the output of the command:

ps ax

Hi Paul,

Is your disk full? Are you running an encrypted disk setup?

We’re definitely seeing some errors here with apt, as Phil pointed out. When you tried to install the first dependency, your apt went after some prior incomplete work, updating your initramfs (part of your boot process). This is not good, you have to work this out first so that you can at least use apt. As it stands, I would not even reboot until you have that fixed up.

It looks like you might have a System 76 product, so you might want to ask them to help you get apt-get commands to work properly. The first two apt-get commands in the script are:

    sudo apt-get -y install build-essential || exit -1 
    sudo apt-get -y install qt5-qmake || exit -1

And I suspect the first one is failing.

Not full, but yes, encrypted disk.

Definitely contact System 76, tell them your package system is broken due to some kind of failing firmware or encryption-related error.

So I had a linux guru friend of mine log in. You were correct, the disk was full. For some reason autoremove wasn’t working for the longest time and I wondered about that. I had 5% disk space on root left and apt wasn’t happy about that. As to why I’m not getting warnings about disk space, that’s another issue. Sorry to direct the error at your script…its my wonderful machine’s fault, and partial operator error on my part.

Your project looks amazing by the way. I just bought an IC-7610 and hope to get your program working with it soon. Hopefully you can provide support for the RC-28 as well. Do you have a donation process set up?

Hi Paul,

I’m glad you found the issue! It’s frightening when core components like the boot image or the package manager are malfunctioning.

I was going to let Phil respond to your question about the RC-28, but the overall answer is, he has made it work and he’s just got a lot of irons in the fire right now. To support that controller, besides just the basic code to interpret it, we have to have a user interface to select the controller and preferences to save the settings. So there’s a bit of gluing to do.

And yes, we have a donation system set up under Patreon:

As a member, you receive some behind-the-scenes information and fresh windows and linux builds every evening. Membership starts at $2/month, and we have 16 supporters right now.

Let me know if you get it compiled. And yes, we do support the IC-7610, it’s a very nice radio to use over the built-in ethernet.

Yes, I got it compiled after the /boot was fixed. I just have to keep an eye on it and make sure it still can remove old kernels.

The only hiccup with the build was no icon was put in applications. Have to run “wfview” from the terminal.

Hi Paul,

Do you see wfview’s application launcher in this directory:
/usr/share/applications/
You should see it, it is named “wfview.desktop”.

If you do, you might just need to log out and log back in. We didn’t include the “update the menu” command in our build script, although I could see adding that in the future. Anyway, if it is there, you can just copy it to your desktop, for example.

Hi Elliott,
Yes a log off/log on will show the entry. In my case under “internet” applications (Linux Mint)

Cool. There is some command that causes the menu to refresh as well, but I can’t remember what it is. We could add that to the build script.

Hi Elliott,
Might this be the command you’re looking for?

xdg-desktop-menu
xdg-desktop-menu - command line tool for (un)installing desktop menu items

xdg-desktop-menu install [–noupdate] [–novendor] [–mode mode] directory-file(s) desktop-file(s)
