Hi all,
Switching from an old FreeBSD box to a Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian jessie...
Fixed it up so it boots from a USB drive verse the flash card... i.e. changed root in /boot/cmdline.txt and the mount point in /etc/fstab.... so now it only uses the SD card for reading the inital files and then switches to a 1TB 2.5" drive to run from. WDpidrive kit for anyone interested.... low power USB drive with special cable to power it all.... not using their boot loader since it runs a squeeze filesystem and is far slower than from the drive directly.
Had a whole variety of issues that I worked through one at a time... probably not the correct way in some cases... But thought I'd post and see if anyone has a better way.
First go-around just tried the wheezy PPA and had no luck ... errors below
# Added this to the sourcelist file
deb http://www.wviewweather.com/apt/wheezy wheezy main
apt-get install wview
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
wview : Depends: libgd2-noxpm (>= 2.0.36~rc1~dfsg) but it is not installable or
libgd2-xpm (>= 2.0.36~rc1~dfsg) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
So, off to compile from sources for both radlib and wview -- which means adding dependencies manually verse letting apt-get do it..
# install dependencies (collected after the fact since I kept adding them one at a time)
apt-get install sqlite3 libssl-dev libudev libcurl4 gawk libreadline5 libgd2-xpm-dev libgd2-noxpm-dev libsqlite3-dev libgd-tools
# radlib was simple enough
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/radlib/radlib/radlib-2.12.0/radlib-2.12.0.tar.gz
tar -zxf radlib-2.12.0.tar.gz
cd radlib-2.12.0
./configure --enable-sqlite
make
make install
# wview on the other hand was a royal pain -- using wview-5.21.7
Then just a configure and a make right?... no such luck....
it bombed out compiling 3 stations WMRUSB, WH1080, and TE923.... all three the same error message about not finding 'lubs-1.0' on the system...
Since I have a VantagePro I don't care about those working or not... so I just edited the Makefile in each station and removed the reference to it. I assume there is some better way to do this or a package I am missing
Anyways,
It is installed now but I haven't tested it yet... will do that tomorrow.

Well Today ...
Copied over my old configs from version 5.20.2 and had some fun issues with added lines in the config from the interim version
Had to add use sqlite3 command line to add the missing config items..... copy/pasted from the .sql provided with the package for setting up blank DB..
INSERT INTO "config" VALUES('SSH_1_TIMEOUT','120','SSH session timeout (secs):','ENABLE_SSH');
INSERT INTO "config" VALUES('SSH_2_TIMEOUT','120','SSH session timeout (secs):','ENABLE_SSH');
INSERT INTO "config" VALUES('SSH_3_TIMEOUT','120','SSH session timeout (secs):','ENABLE_SSH');
INSERT INTO "config" VALUES('SSH_4_TIMEOUT','120','SSH session timeout (secs):','ENABLE_SSH');
INSERT INTO "config" VALUES('SSH_5_TIMEOUT','120','SSH session timeout (secs):','ENABLE_SSH');
Also moved /usr/local/var/wview and /usr/local/var/wviewmgmt to the default apache root of /var/www then symlinked them back. Also had to chown 33:33 those directories and files so the apache process could write to them.
NOTE about my setup... the RPi is inside my network and behind firewalls and the like and once it completes generating pages they are copied to an external webserver...So I try to follow best practices on security for file perms and the like, but if something has to be opened a little wider it isn't exposed to the internet anyways.
copied ~wviewcompile/examples/Debian/wview over to init.d then this to make it start at boot and run level 3 since I run with no gui enabled.
update-rc.d wview defaults
update-rc.d wview enable 3
Set the station connection to /dev/ttyUSB0 verse the FreeBSD equivalent of /dev/cuaU0
Started it up and miracles do happen, it is running, collecting new data and generating the web pages... One little hitch is that they are not being done with the same templates and background images like they ought to be... Seems like I edited the templates years back to make the day/night background the same... Simple enough to figure out/fix this little bit. And the copy to the external server isn't working yet.

And everything is working properly and survives a reboot and starts working again.
I have one odd thing that I never noticed when running on FreeBSD ... When wview starts up htmlgend takes quite a long time to start up...
A lot of this sort of thing in the log... while it is doing it..... Is that normal or have I missed something?

BTW the performance of the RPi3 running straight from a USB drive is almost as good as my 5 year old laptop running Fedora ... so color me impressed ... and now that I've used my RPi3 for this I guess I need to buy another one to tinker with.

I created a card with the
image of raspbian Jessie (debian 8) and Stretch (debian 9) with several
other tools, with GPIO, and Wview working.
One image got a little big (~ 8GB). I'm trying to slow down to the cloud
Anyone interested?

I am interested but I need WS1080 to work. That's what I am using.
