I contacted this branch developer directly, and ** SADLY NO LINUX
support *** . The zip DL is full of DLL's etc. for non Linux.
Also the mention of virtual cable in some of the features, that means
it likely wouldn't compile if you try it on Linux since there is
nothing of the sort, err well there is but it takes a degree in ALSA,
black dev arts, etc.. :) (ALSA the underlying system of sound in Linux
regardless of the lipstick of pipewire, jack, pulseaudio etc. has
VERY VERY STRONG PIPING/ROUTING features.. documented? Not for mere
mortals! :) ;) thats how OP25 routes audio is ALSA drivers to "snoop"
on audio. I did the same thing with DarkIce and OP25 to split up
audio.. ) That would need to be written to use ALSA pipes/snoop, or
likely BOTH pipewire and pulseaudio to cover the current state of
Linux audio.
I looked at the gradle/gradlew or what ever that stuff is, but in both
SDRT and SDRT-P I see files listed that are HARDCODED Non POSIX paths
including down to user names for what appears to be CORE GUI buttons
etc.. So not sure how if I even knew how to do it would compile... I
have a LXC to do the compile on the JMBE as its pretty well simple...
i just dump in the new JMBE pull and it goes to work... BUT. the main
program appears to be much more involved, and its not a step I do in
2026, last was back in the 80's on Pascal for CS/EE classes so I could
do it at home and not fight for modem time or terminals. My
development nowdays don't involve compiled stuff.
I'd really love to see a Linux version or the code bases merged,
especially the GUI persistence, audio features, drop encrypted stuff
that wastes resources, and the Zello stuff, As zello could be a plus
for some things in my area, if I can find any of those "radios" that
zello still supports since they changed min Android version last year,
and most of that "stuff from that express" site is now paperweights,
and many appear to be lying about the version as they know it won't
work. Zello probably did this intentionally, but anyway... I never
thought the zello stuff was a path.. but some things came up here that
make those things sort of viable... long story.
I'd love to see a Linux version, or instructions to compile, but it
likely would need some directives to dumps some of the audio features
that rely on virtual cabling stuff.
