Re: [Hackrf-dev] what is the story with gr-osmosdr not building?

[Anon Lister]

Builds fine for me. I suggest you try posting on discuss-gnuradio (if that
is your end goal, see below,) however I suggest you first read [1] and [2].
Specifically, list your goal(you mention gr-osmosdr, then the LimeSDR, on
the hackrf mailing list, with no mention of your end goal), what you have
tried sofar(did you build any other pieces of code first? What was the
result of that?), and any error messages you encountered. This will help
people better understand what your trying to do and explain the meaning of
any error messages you are getting.

The LimeSDR is a fairly new device, and the best place to ask questions
about it seems to be the discourse page from myriadrf, found at [3] or you
can visit their wiki found at [4] (However, once again, read [1] first.) It
sounds like your new to Linux, if you just want to listen to radio, perhaps
look at SDRConsole for a native windows program, which has a lower learning
curve, and is closed source.)

I know, I much prefer my HackRF :-). Up to now I've "gotten away" with
just using the packages rather than go into the FOSS dungeon to smelt
metal to cast parts for a lathe so that I can create the tools that I
need to get something done. Consider it an expression of my
frustration. So begins my entry into the third level of hell, perhaps
I'll blog about it :-). It does surprise me that HEAD on a 'major'
package like gr-osmosdr would not even be buildable, (because that is
typically the first test prior to merge a commit, does it still build)
but as I've been digging into it, some of the inter-relationships
between gnuradio, what Ettus started with (aka the uhd API) and the
current state of affairs (about a half dozen SDRs bodged into the
framework in one way or another) that the situation is far from
"simple."

Since the HackRF stuff seems to be the most effectively integrated SDR
I just assume all the pros are here who already know all this stuff.

Hi Chuck,

We're not in a position to support LimeSDR on this mailing list, there's no
link between the projects and I don't have access to the hardware.  I don't
know if LimeSDR has a support channel, but I would recommend contacting
them or other LimeSDR users as they will likely have experience with
building LimeSDR support for GNU Radio.

Thanks,
  Dominic

[Hackrf-dev] what is the story with gr-osmosdr not building?

[Chuck McManis]

Every day I regret spending money on this LimeSDR unit, and the only way to
talk to it is with 'SoapSDR' driving it through gr-osmosdr. Now why
gr-osmosdr can't drive it directly? Who knows but still I thought I would
rebuild gr-osmosdr from source and it dies horribly trying to build RTL
stuff.
