To add another piece of information to this discussion, last night I built the whole GNU Radio 3.9-maint on my Raspberry Pi, and it wasn't too bad.
I followed the instructions from here: - https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/InstallingGRFromSource_on_Raspberry_Pi - https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/InstallingGR#For_GNU_Radio_3.9_and_Master_Branch - https://github.com/gnuradio/volk#building-on-raspberry-pi-and-other-arm-boards-32-bit The heavy step, which was the 'make' in the GNU Radio 'build' directory, took about 2 hours and 10 minutes on the Raspberry Pi using 'make -j 3' - I think it is a reasonable time considering I built all of the in-tree modules except for gr-uhd. 73, Franco K4VZ > On 11/24/2021 12:44 PM Gregory Ratcliff <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Marcus, > > > "..I don't have an RPi4, so can't test.” > > You really should get one, if only to monitor ADSB from airplanes on your > own. > > > All, > > Oh my.
