 ====== Dire Wolf ======
-.7.0-11468f2 (with IL2P) built for Windows x64 by M0LTE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PpiR1e2i-IJGI5ubVICj9ylO9Gay5AxO/view?usp=sharing
+Official website: https://github.com/wb2osz/direwolf
+===== Debian, Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu =====
+Dire Wolf packages for Debian and some Debian-derived Linux distributions are available from the
+[[https://online-amateur-radio-club-m0ouk.github.io/oarc-packages/|OARC Package Repository]].
+===== Windows =====
+Binaries built from dev branch, with IL2P:
+.7.0-11468f2 for Windows x64 (April 2023): https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1PpiR1e2i-IJGI5ubVICj9ylO9Gay5AxO&export=download
+.7.0-c5ad945 for Windows x64 (23 July 2023): https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1bgNcgtwSK_Ro0qq0BzN2yn_8aUaoPgpG
+===== Standalone builds for Raspberry Pi OS =====
+Note: the packaged versions above are likely to be more recent.
+.7.0-75ccf18 for Raspberry Pi OS 64 bit: https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1vW2CMlN9uaiJ48-ZfcVdtaDH3XaIHlek&export=download
+.7.0-75ccf18 for Raspberry Pi OS 32 bit: https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1nDW03W588TYzpgHhoV5u40feaQjAW-qQ&export=download
+===== Building Dire Wolf from source on Windows (optional) =====
+You might want to build Dire Wolf yourself to get binaries for the dev branch, which contains support for IL2P. Excerpt from user guide follows.
+NB this does not include Hamlib support - someone needs to work out how to enable Hamlib support for Windows. If you manage it, please come and edit these instructions.
+It is built using Cygwin, which provides a Unix-like development environment. The MinGW compiler is a special version of gcc which generates native code for the Windows operating system.
+Install Cygwin 64 from https://cygwin.com/
+During installation pick these additional packages:
+  * git
+  * bin-utils
+  * make
+  * cmake
+  * mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core
+  * mingw64-x86_64-gcc-g++
+If you want to generate code for a 32 bit target (i.e. Windows XP), also install these:
+  * mingw64-i686gcc-core
+  * mingw64-i686gcc-g++
+Open a Cygwin command window by double clicking this desktop shortcut.
+Edit your ~/.bash_profile file and add the following:
+<code>
+export CC=/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc
+export CXX=/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++
+export AR=/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar
+export WINDRES=/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres
+</code>
+To build the 32 bit version, use these instead:
+<code>
+export CC=/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-gcc
+export CXX=/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-g++
+export AR=/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-ar
+export WINDRES=/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-windres
+</code>
+These commands will be run automatically when a new command window is opened. To apply them to the current command window:
+<code>
+source ~/.bash_profile
+</code>
+Type this to obtain the source code:
+<code>
+git clone http://github.com/wb2osz/direwolf
+cd direwolf
+</code>
+This is the most recent stable version. If you want the most recent development version, with all of the latest new features and bug fixes, type:
+<code>
+git checkout dev
+</code>
+Build it. Notice the double period at the end of the cmake command.
+<code>
+mkdir build
+cd buile
+cmake -DUNITTEST=1 ..
+make -j4
+</code>
+It would be a good idea to run the self-tests.
+<code>
+make test
+</code>
+The result should be several new executable files, in the build/src directory including "direwolf.exe" and "decode_aprs.exe".
+If you want to bundle up the application, so it can be run on a different computer, create a zip file with:
+<code>
+make package
+</code>
+Skip sections 5 (Linux) and 6 (Mac OS X) and proceed to section 7 for Basic Operation.
+===== Building Dire Wolf from source on Linux (optional) =====
+See the user guide, but here are some distilled steps for Raspberry Pi OS (tested on 64 bit build)
+NB don't do this on a Pi that's got hamlib or Dire Wolf already installed from distro repositories.
+Get dependencies:
+<code>
+sudo apt update && sudo apt install git cmake libasound2-dev libudev-dev gpsd libgps-dev automake libtool texinfo
+</code>
+(Optional) Build and install hamlib:
+<code>
+cd ~
+git clone https://github.com/Hamlib/Hamlib.git
+cd Hamlib
+./bootstrap
+./configure
+make
+sudo make install
+</code>
+Build and install Dire Wolf (dev branch, 1.7, with IL2P support)
+<code>
+cd ~
+git clone https://www.github.com/wb2osz/direwolf.git
+cd direwolf
+git checkout dev
+mkdir build && cd build
+cmake -DUNITTEST=1 ..
+make -j4
+make test
+sudo make install
+sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libhamlib.so.4 /usr/lib/libhamlib.so.4
+</code>
+It works!
+<code>
+$ direwolf -t 0
+Dire Wolf DEVELOPMENT version 1.7 G (Jul 23 2023)
+Includes optional support for:  gpsd hamlib cm108-ptt
+</code>
+NB the "ln -s" above fixes the following:
+direwolf: error while loading shared libraries: libhamlib.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
+The reason is that libhamlib.so is in /usr/local/lib rather than the usual /usr/lib and the particular operating system does not look in the former.
