Build and installing

Regular build

make
make -f MakefileGUI #only required if you want to build the GUI programs
sudo make install

Drop-in replacement for dl5di OpenDV packages

This will conpile the program to be used as a drop in replacement for the no longer maintained DL5DI OpenDV packages. Systemd files to run ircddbgatewayd as daemon will also be installed.

export TARGET=opendv
make
make -f MakefileGUI #only required if you want to build the GUI programs
sudo make install

Now you should edit the configuration in the file /etc/ircddbgateway to match your needs.

sudo systemctl enable ircddbgatewayd.service #enable service
sudo service ircddbgatewayd start
