Hi,
I'm testing wip/wsjtx (should later be ham/wsjtx).

1.
As is written at wip/wsjtx/TODO, you need set
PKG_OPTIONS.fftw+= fftw-fortan
(thanks IrisZzz at #pkgsrc on irc)

and at math/fftw
  make package-install
  or
  make replace

  (before packaging wsjtx)

2.
To start the application, it requires huge memory, (also written in TODO)
you may need ( in my case on 10.99.12 amd64)
  ulimit d=524288
before starting the application,  otherwise you may see

    mef20$ wsjtx
    -sh: wsjtx: not enough memory
    mef20$ zsh
    mef20@makoto 12:14:57/250209(~)% wsjtx
    zsh: cannot allocate memory: wsjtx

3.
I've checked the serial port behavior before going next step.
my Rig, TS-590s has USB port connection. Connect that 
to USB port to the running PC.

I've checked the name and speed, after above connected, by
  sudo cu -l /dev/dtyU0 -s 2400
seems some connection is made. I'll use this parameter
for the first trial

4.
The application may run
   cu -l port -s speed
equivalent sub process, (as tested above) 
I think root privilege is required.
To do that, at your (probably xterm window)

  sudo -s
  export XAUTHORITY=/home/your_login/.Xauthority
  wsjtx

5.
 It may be nice to set default port name in
   % grep dtyU0   /root/.config/WSJT-X.ini
   CATSerialPort=/dev/dtyU0

(I'm not sure how much benefit you'll receive with above line,
and not sure too if CATSerial works on USB virtual device)
(I used to connect RS-232C equivalent other port on rig and 
was using N1MM application on Windows)

(I'm becoming suspicious on serial port connection on this
Rig via USB port..)

I hope anyone try the similar thing and let us know furthur settings
and issues.

Thank you,
