Multiple issues with AntScope2 1.4.12 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

[ki4mcw]

First, thank you for developing this software. I look forward to using it frequently!

Unfortunately, I have discovered some issues running 1.4.12 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS:

1. If AntScope2 is started but no analyzer is plugged in via USB, the program will hang on the device selection screen. The Cancel and X buttons do not function in this state. The selection screen also does not allow selection of the device via COM or BLE. The only recourse is to kill the program from a command line. The device selection screen will remain hung even if a device is plugged in after starting the program. Also, the Connect button on the device selection screen does not work even if a device is plugged in - you must double-click the listed device in order to continue past the device selection screen.

2. If the program is started from a command line, it throws lots of errors related to OpenSSL. Apparently the 1.4.12 package on the RigExpert website was compiled using OpenSSL 1.x, whereas Ubuntu 24.04 uses OpenSSL 3.x.

I could not find a change log or build instructions on the github site, so please forgive me if these issues have already been addressed.

Thanks again,
