First install the dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev \
gfortran \
python-pmw \
python-numpy \
python-numpy \
portaudio19-dev \
libsamplerate0-dev \
python-imaging-tk \
cl-fftw3
cd wspr
./configure \
--with-portaudio-include-dir=/usr/include \
--with-portaudio-lib-dir=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
Success output from configure looks like this:
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
Using gfortran as fortran compiler.
Compiling wspr 1.11
Installing into: /usr/local/
Now build:
make
Now run:
./wspr
And you should see this:
So, it's actually getting easier in that more of the dependencies are already installed by default. The only tricky bit was figuring out where the portaudio libs live now.
Note that while you can do a "make install" to copy over the /usr/local, it won't run from there because it can't find wspr.py so I just cd to the wspr build directory and run it there with ./wspr
Update
Ross, T16AA, noted that if you are building for 64 bit linux the portaudio libraries are in a slightly different location so the configure line will be:
./configure \
--with-portaudio-include-dir=/usr/include \
--with-portaudio-lib-dir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
Thanks Ross.

Everything worked for me, except I can't access the radio (it has the wrong rig number when I try to change frequency) and I get the error "Config parameter error: Invalid parameter" when I exit.
Can you tell me where the config. file is please?
Thanks,

I get the error "Config parameter error: Invalid parameter" when I exit. Also, CAT isn't working because WSPR is using the wrong number fot the radio.
Do you know where the config file is so I can edit it please?
M0PGX :)
wspr stores its settings in a file called WSPR.INI in the same directory as the executable.
Good luck,
Peter
Howdy,
I was able to build and run WSPR, and it even keys my rig, but I can't get any audio in to it. I've tried selecting all of the different audio in devices. I get these errors when I run it

Howdy N1YWB,
for some reason sound devices can't be accessed. Try running wspr as root, so $ sudo ./wspr
See if that helps.
Peter
Thanks for the great HowTo. Just compiled it on xubuntu 12.10 x64.
Now up and running on two machines thanks entirely to your instructions. What a maze of computing. Thank you very much for your time and generosity. 73 Bob g3udi
Hi marxy
I am getting an error message when I try to run the script:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "wspr.py", line 46, in
from WsprMod import w
ImportError: /home/xxx/wspr/WsprMod/w.so: undefined symbol: Pa_Sleep
Any idea why?. Thanks
I'm trying on a Banana Pi running Raspbian on SATA disk.
WSJT compiles after two mods to the Makefile. python -> python3, f2py -> f2py3,2
python -O wsjt.py complains
Undefined symbol Pa_Sleep in Audio.so
