Re: [Tlf-devel] Tlf scoring for Stew Perry?

[Mike Waters]

Hello Ervin,

Thank you very much for your help. I installed libhamlib-dev and
libhamlib-utils apt-get and tried this. Comments below.

may be you don't need to reverse any Pascal code :)

Two of the three links I posted were C code, only one was Pascal. I didn't try them,
 

... Here is a sample code:

==%==
#include <stdio.h>
#include <hamlib/rotator.h>

int main(int argc, char ** argv) {
    double s1long, s1lat, s2long, s2lat;
    char s1qra[] = "EM37cg";
    char s2qra[] = "jn97om";
    double dist = 1000, az = 90;

    locator2longlat(&s1long, &s1lat, s1qra);
    locator2longlat(&s2long, &s2lat, s2qra);

    printf("W0BTU coords: lat: %f lon: %f\n", s1lat, s1long);
    printf("HA2OS coords: lat: %f lon: %f\n", s2lat, s2long);

    qrb(s1long, s1lat, s2long, s2lat, &dist, &az);

    printf("distance between W0BTU and HA2OS: %f km, dir: %f\n", dist, az);
    return 0;
}
==%==

You can compile that code with this command:

gcc -Wall qrasrc.c -lhamlib

It didn't work. Here is the gcc output:

address@hidden:~/local/share/tlf/tlf-devel$ sudo gcc -Wall gridtest.c -lhamlib

 and run:

$ ./a.out

Since it didn't compile, there was no a.out to try.

gridtest.c is attached.

Do you have any suggestions?

W0BTU coords: lat: 37.270833 lon: -93.791667
HA2OS coords: lat: 47.520833 lon: 19.208333
distance between W0BTU and HA2OS: 8485.799136 km, dir: 40.000000

These values are the short path info's.


Please note, this is just an after-a-fast-explore snippet, there
isn't any error handling.
