Re: Testing out TLF-1.5 for NAQP

[Csahok Zoltan]

The rules are meant to be more like templates as they typically require some 
customizing for the particular user (setting county code, etc).

So the process of using them is
1) build a current verison of TLF (on a recent Linux, e.g. Ubuntu 22 or Debian 
11)
        autoreconf -i \
        && ./configure --prefix=/usr \
                        --enable-fldigi-xmlrpc --enable-python-plugin \
        && TERM=xterm make all check
2) copy the files (in this case naqp and naqp.py) into the local rules/ 
directory
3) check+tweak the files if needed
4) reference naqp in local logcfg.dat
5*) if there is a stock (=old) TLF installed then copy cabrillo.fmt from the 
repo into the local directory (the dir where you start TLF from)
6) run the locally built TLF

*Step 5 is normally a one-time action.
