Deprecation Notice

A number of Gtk3 components that are significant mwp dependencies (libchamplain and its dependencies, libgdl) are becoming obsolescent and are effectively unmaintained upstream. This is likely to be an ongoing problem (see more detail)

Migrating mwp to Gtk4:

• Is significant effort
• Not practical at the moment
  • The Gtk4 replacements for libchamplain and libgdl are not sufficiently functional to meet mwp's needs
  • Some of the currently supported distros don't yet provide sufficient Gtk4 support.
• Will probably happen at some stage

Dependencies

• For blackbox replay, you need the flightlog2x tools ; flightlog2x tools provides binary downloads for common Operating Systems.
• Please check the wiki Recent Changes document for any new dependencies since your last installation.

Installation

Preparation

• (Debian et al). Please ensure you have the universe repository enabled
• Ensure that the system is up to date: (Debian et al ... sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade).

Download and Install

• Arch Linux users can install mwptools-git from the AUR.
• Install the Debian package here (Debian and derivatives). The archive is built in Debian Stable, which may or not work with newer distributions.
• Download the archive and install it locally, e.g.

  curl -LO https://github.com/stronnag/mwptools/releases/download/7.111.629/mwptools_7.111.629_amd64.deb
  sudo apt install ./mwptools_7.111.629_amd64.deb
  

• Otherwise, build from source (recommended).

WSL-G users, note that ser2udp.exe is essentially the same but enhanced to work with solely push telemetry. Unless you need this, you don't need a new ser2udp.exe.
