I have seen many discussions here on the problems using WINE and Linux. I understand the complexities of trying to build a program for several different OSs. On this porgram, Even the Installer script for Linux fails when I run it on Linux Mint 21.1. Beyond frustration here. That should not happen if a software package is ready for release.
Look at other programs out there. FLDIGI and WFVIEW just to name a couple. Both work on ALL platforms without trying to emulate WINDOWS!
Perhaps changing the approach is in order.
I would like to try the program but I will spend more time pounding my head against the keyboard rather than operating with it. Is that the goal of your group? As hams, I am open to new things. I am not a full fledged computer programmer, however. I am an electronic technician by trade and have been using Linux for at least 10 years. I have my whole station working on Linux. FLDIGI, FLRIG, WFView, jtdx, wsjtx, SDRConnect All are working on Linux. I can go on about logging software and other like Hamclock..... Please get your act together.
I totally agree. I have a pi5 armhf 64bit navigation computer on my boat and a separate windows laptop with Pactor modem to access winlink for email and weather gribs. The VARA developers need to work on a Linux AND arm version of VARA. No excuses. Apple, and Microsoft now support ARM. It is the future. Low power, efficient and better than intel.
Please get with the program VARA developing crew or AI might make something better to replace VARA.🥳
