XDxmitFT8.dll build kit Copyright (c) 2020 by Wayne E. Wright, W5XD
The algorithms, source code, look-and-feel of WSJT-X and related programs, and protocol specifications for the modes FSK441, FT8, JT4, JT6M, JT9, JT65, JTMS, QRA64, ISCAT, MSK144 are Copyright (C) 2001-2020 by one or more of the following authors: Joseph Taylor, K1JT; Bill Somerville, G4WJS; Steven Franke, K9AN; Nico Palermo, IV3NWV; Greg Beam, KI7MT; Michael Black, W9MDB; Edson Pereira, PY2SDR; Philip Karn, KA9Q; and other members of the WSJT Development Group.
If you want to build a Visual Studio .net project that implements FT8, then you do not need to build this kit. Instead, download its result: XDwsjtFtSdk-<version>.zip
See the Makefile. It uses MINGW to build a dll with the FT8 encoding algorithms as built from the published wsjt-x sources. It supports a 32 bit bulid using mingw, and, optionally, also a 64 bit build if you also install mingw64.
The result of "make all" is a lib32 or lib64 containing the code to distribute. After you do make-all in 32b and/or 64b, then run MakeWinSDK to pack up an SDK that itself supports whichever architectures you have built up to then.
