difficulties executing cqrlog on Ubuntu MATE 16.04

I have scoured this forum for any possible answer and have tried several suggestions, on top of three virgin installations of MATE. No sucess getting CQRLog working. I have confirmed synaptic has installed mysql.

Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

cqrlog --debug-1

Re: difficulties executing cqrlog on Ubuntu MATE 16.04

It seems you don't have libmysqlclient installed.

apt install libmysqlclient20
apt install libssl-dev

and cqrlog should work.

Nope, That didnt work

Thanks Petr, but that did not work. Here are logs.

CQRLog: not recognizing Mysql is 5.7, defaulting to 5.1

noticed above debug output was defaulting mysql to version 5.1 when i had 5.7 installed. Looking at an old post, i found this information.

https://www.cqrlog.com/node/1314

Im going to attempt a fix to source code and see if i can get it to recognize my database version.

try try
c := TConnectionName.Create(nil);
MySQLVer := copy(c.ClientInfo,1,3);

if fDebugLevel>=1 then
begin
Writeln('**************************');
Writeln('MySQL version: ',MySQLVer);
Writeln('**************************')
end;

if MySQLVer = '10.' then
MySQLVer := '5.6';
if MySQLVer = '10.1' then
MySQLVer := '5.7'

except
on E : Exception do
begin
Writeln('FATAL ERROR: Can not get MySQL client library version version!',LineEnding,
'Setting to default version (5.1)');
MySQLVer := '5.1'
end

got 2.0.4 running on Ubuntu MATE RPI 3

I have successfully installed a copy of cqrlog on raspberry PI 3 running Ubuntu MATE 16.04. Trick was to download source code and install Lazarus. From here a make can be done to source then a make install command to install it on OS.

So far so good. Going to test and import as though I will be using this for digital work.

Thanks!

PS Petr- Let me know if you need a copy. some how i will need instructions on how to do a armhf build / package.

CQRLog error "Access Violation" - Ubuntu 16

Hi all

I'm wondering what the status of the issue is.

I ran CQRLOG successfully with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS from mid 2014 until the first few days of Jan 2017 when the "Access Violation" error struck, but have had no luck with various attempts to fix things since.

Can anybody tell me in words of one syllable what the problem is, what the fixes are meant to do, and will I just get the same issues if I upgrade to 16.04LTS or 16.10?

I did not start using CQRLOG in order to have to rebuild it from source, so if that's the only way then I will be waving good-bye to it. I don't need rig control or anything more than just a database that can look after my QSO data and doesn't cause me a load of hassle.

The last backup of the CQRLOG folder in .config that will work when I do what I call a complete reinstall (delete old CQRLOG folder from .config and Remove then Install CQRLOG in the Ubuntu Software Centre) is from Dec 2015 (I also made a copy in Dec 2016); if I just copy in one of the CQRLOG internal backup tar files beyond Feb 2016 into the .config folder this immediately causes a crash with the "Access Violation" error when I start CQRLOG.

Can anyone explain what is going on and whether the "Access Violation" error will reoccur if I migrate to Ubuntu 16?

My solution

Chris, petr attempted to assist me any way he could, but i could not resolve my issue. I instead rebuilt cqrlogger ro run on debian, version 2.0.4. Petr should be uploading that pretty soon.

Thanks for the advice Andriy

I'm a bit resistant to changing to a new OS for the sake of a single application, as a some other issue could arise there as well.

I always backed up my QSOs in QRZ.COM so I'll just continue to work with that and maybe seek out something else just for contesting (I only dabble, but it would useful to have a local logging program that can export cabrillo files).

Life is too short to spend it fiddling with computer programs (I retired from working in IT, had enough of software upgrades just to maintain the functionality I already have!).
