[Discuss-gnuradio] GNURadio compile notes for Debian Lenny (Testing)

[Eric Cottrell]

Hello,

I am looking into switching from SuSE to Debian so I am "testing" Debian Etch 
and Lenny these past months on several new systems.  SuSE seems too bloated and 
I rather have more control over what is loaded on the computer. APT seems 
better than RPM.

I was able to compile GNURadio on Debian Lenny.  Here are some rough notes as 
to the packages needed to compile GNURadio with ALSA and USRP support.  I used 
a recent GNURadio version from the subversion repository trunk.

I am still configuring and testing the system so the General packages are 
incomplete.  They represent packages that may be needed for GNURadio and were 
installed either directly or indirectly through dependencies of other general 
packages I installed.

General Environment (incomplete list)
python  (Lenny default is Version 2.5.  Version 2.4 is available.)
libsdl1.2debian (was installed as part of mplayer)

General Build Environment (incomplete list)
gcc  (Lenny default is Version 4.3.  Version 4.1 and 4.2 are available.)
make
make-doc
autoconf
build-essential
subversion
subversion-tools
kdesvn (KDE Wrapper for Subversion)

General Development Packages (incomplete list)
xorg-dev

GNURadio Development Packages
libfftw3-dev
libboost1.35-dev
libcppunit-dev
libasound-dev
swig
guile-1.8-dev
libsdl1.2-dev
libusb-dev
python2.5-dev
python-numpy
python-wxgtk2.8
sdcc-nf   (USRP needs the non-free version)
