I forgot to mention that the issues that I had with Cygwin were related to the WBX board - it had some unresolvable issues. It is very likely that the suggestions that Don provided would work for the other boards.

I spent more than 4 days (12+hours per day) trying to get this running without much success due all the issues about differing versions of compilers, other errors on the board and so on. Only for experts like Don Ward, would Cygwin be a feasible option. Then finally this afternoon i tried Ubuntu (after a suggestion from the folks at Ettus). It took me only 4 hours to get running (including installing Ubuntu on my Windows machine which is easily done using Wubi). I am very happy with what I am seeing and am much excited to start using my USRP. Considering what a hassle Cygwin has been, I think it would be a disservice to future users to even have it listed there (unless maybe it is clearly indicated in large red font that it could be a futile endeavor) on the gnuradio page. There was a feeble mention of possible issues on the webpage, which I think is a gross understatement just going by my experience. Best regards, -Vijay My expectation is that eventually, there will be "conventional" installers for Gnu Radio + UHD for Windows, Linux, and MacOS environments, and that those installers will be kept fairly up-to-date with the development sources. But we're not there yet. I used my own "build-gnuradio" script to do a GIT-based install of Gnu Radio + UHD on a Ubuntu 10.0 VM last week, and it went flawlessly--I didn't run into the problem you had with it being unable to find the libraries. But my script does a refresh of ldconfig after doing the "make install", so perhaps that's why I didn't run into the problem you ran into. -- Principal Investigator Shirleys Bay Radio Astronomy Consortium http://www.sbrac.org -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
