Another data point for those considering ways of running GnuRadio on their Windows box. I have managed to install andLinux (http://www.andlinux.org) on my XP box. This allowed me to compile and install GnuRadio 3.1.1 and the trunk version of grc. It appears that I now have a working GnuRadio installation!! :-) . Now to find the time to learn what makes it tick, hopefully it plays nice with HPSDR hardware. Cheers, Geoff. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
