WSPR on the RPI/Lapdock under Raspian Revisited

Having got the Lapdock working I decided to install the latest debian package and reinstall WSPR

2012-12-16-wheezy-raspbian so that was downloaded and installed. At installation time I took the opportunity to overclock the board at 1GHz and in the same menu allow the memory space to fill ALL the memory card (if you dont,  you only have 2GB to use, even on a 16GB card!

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion python2.7-dev python-numpy python-imaging-tk python-pmw libportaudio2 portaudio19-dev libsamplerate0-dev gfortran cl-fftw3 python-dev libhamlib-utils


svn co http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/wsjt/branches/wspr -r2840

(trying to load the current revision ie omitting "-r2840" software wouldnt build)
cd wspr
./configure --with-portaudio-include-dir=/usr/include --with-portaudio-lib-dir=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf

At this point the Makefile that configure created needs to be edited so the RPI uses the hardware floating point processor

vi Makefile (edit wouldnt work on my machine on this file)
make sure line 5 reads:-
FFLAGS = -g -O2 -fno-range-check -ffixed-line-length-none -Wall -Wno-character-truncation -Wno-conversion -Wtabs -fPIC -mfloat-abi=hard

make sure line 9 reads:-
CFLAGS = -Wall -O0 -g -Wall -O0 -g -mfloat-abi=hard

sudo make install 


to launch wspr

./wspr

Again i used the imic as the audio input/output

aplay -l

works fine, nice to have a compact system for wspr
