the following does not apply, and Daemon should be set to 0 in the ini file.

Note, without the last line, MMDVMHost will not be able to open the modem.
Also note, when running as a daemon, STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR are closed, so
you must use a logfile to capture logging and the logfile entry in the ini file
must be given a full path as MMDVMHost calls "cd /" when daemonising. The same
applies to the DMRIds.dat file.
you must use MQTT to capture logging. The paths to the other files (DMRIds,
RSSI, etc) should be absolute and not relative as the current working directory
is set to "/" when the program is being run as a daemon.
Also, please note that the code to drop privileges is currently disabled when
MMDVMHost is compiled with the HD44780 display as it's currently not possible
to use this display as a non-root user.

It builds on 32-bit and 64-bit Linux as well as on Windows using Visual Studio
