Windows Build

[ferrellsl]

I was able to generate a successful build under Windows 11 using MSYS2

But upon tuning to any freq. I get a segmentation fault. Not sure of the cause as I don't get any hints from the console nor any log files.

Hmm... hard to say what the issue there is, it could be any number of things. I mostly abandoned this project a good while ago because I quite frankly hardly knew what I was doing when I was working on it, so a lot of the code is really bad and unstable. I do intend on picking this back up some day and making it work nicely, and on all platforms, now that I actually have some idea about what I'm doing... in the meantime however, I'd suggest using something such as nrsc5-dui: https://github.com/markjfine/nrsc5-dui/
it's a lot more polished than this currently is, and it actually works unlike mine.

Don't sell yourself short! Your code works on Ubuntu for me with some slight edits and I thought I'd take a stab at compiling a native Windows version. MSYS2 is most likely the problem. It isn't completely compatible when porting Linux apps to Windows. I'm familiar with dui and use it on Linux quite often. Thanks for responding!

Interesting that it works on Ubuntu... Heh, in my own testing the audio starts breaking down after 30 odd seconds before the program crashes. Thanks to me once again just not knowing what I was doing at the time when it comes to audio, I have actually fixed that issue but haven't gotten around to pushing it. That one was the main reason I stopped working on this project to begin with. I'll probably finish the rest of the basic features in the near future, gotta take a break from another project anyways so this makes for a nice one to refocus on. What are the minor tweaks you made for Ubuntu?

I'm running Ubuntu under VMware and I merely commented out lines 366-370 like so:

        //if(err != paNoError) {
          //  spdlog::error("Failed to write audio stream!");
            //QMessageBox::warning(this, "Error", "Failed to write audio stream! Exiting...", QMessageBox::Ok);
            //exit(-1);
        //}

Then it ran just fine.

I forgot to mention that your app displayed the Channel Logos properly and the sub-channel tuning buttons also worked. I was looking for an app such as yours that uses the C API as opposed to a python gui that merely calls the nrsc5 binary. NRSC5-gui and NRSC5-dui both freeze up on me after many hours of usage. The audio continues to stream but the graphical interface locks up tight. So I was hoping to find a better app that doesn't rely on the many python dependencies found in nrsc5-dui and nrsc5-gui.

Aha, yeah those lines are ones I removed in my fix for the issue too, among other things changed. Glad to hear that it otherwise works, you definitely have given me more of a reason/more motivation to actually finish this project after sitting on it for so long, thanks for that.

I'm looking forward to your updates. I'm not much of a programmer anymore (more of a tinkerer these days) and I'm very weak in regard to QT and C++ or I'd offer more help.
