Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GnuRadio 3.3 on Ubuntu 12.04LTS

[John Wilson]

Hi Ed,

I've been doing the same recently with gnuradio-3.4 on ubuntu 12.04 x64, So I'm guessing it's pretty similar.

Anyway, copying and pasting some notes I made which should hopefully help you, there were a few little horrors in there!

NB The boost version is probably not that important so long as it compiles, 1.40 was 'known good' though. 

Good luck!

John

Installing GNU Radio on 12.04

To
 avoid spending days figuring out how to install our old versiojn of GNU
 Radio onto Ubuntu 12 (and probably later versions also), follow these 
instructions TO THE LETTER.


Use g++ <= 4.5 (using ‘make CXX=g++-4.5’)
Use swig 1.3
Use Boost 1.40

I used automake 1.11, which needed patching, due to it causing problems with ‘make install’:

--- lib/am/python.am.orig       2012-01-31 11:41:18.000000000 +0000
+++ lib/am/python.am
@@ -23,8 +23,8 @@ endif %?INSTALL%
 ## Installing.  ##

+?FIRST?am__py_compile = PYTHON=$(PYTHON) $(SHELL) $(py_compile)
 if %?INSTALL%
-?FIRST?am__py_compile = PYTHON=$(PYTHON) $(SHELL) $(py_compile)
 am__installdirs += "$(DESTDIR)$(%NDIR%dir)"
 .PHONY install-%EXEC?exec:data%-am: install-%DIR%PYTHON
 install-%DIR%PYTHON: $(%DIR%_PYTHON)

You need to add two lines to ./gnuradio-core/src/lib/Makefile.am, under the libgnuradio_core_la_LIBADD section:
$(BOOST_FILESYSTEM_LIB) \
$(BOOST_SYSTEM_LIB)

or else the complier will complain about not being able to find symbols in gr-usrp and audio, and these modules won’t work.

Well, I'm not aware of anything that would prevent 3.3 from working on
Ubuntu 12.04, but of course I don't think anyone has actually tried it.

The Boost version in 12.04 defaults to 1.46, which has a known bug that
affects GNU Radio, but 1.48 is also available on that distro.
