As my email said, this branch only currently supports the RTL-SDR and
HackRF interfaces. I haven't tried to update the interface to the
osmosdr library, which is what you are seeing. I think you can use
-DENABLE_OSMOSDR=False to turn this off. But then, you'll only be able
to use the RTL-SDR source in GRC; not the more generic osmosdr source.

I mostly did this branch for myself, as I wanted to be able to play
around and test things out. I pushed it publicly since I figured it
would be useful to others. But it's certainly not complete nor meant
to be. So if anyone wants to help improve it for other hardware
interfaces, send me a pull request!
