Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] how to install gnuradio with pybombs

Sammy,

don't hesitate asking basic questions (as long as they're not answered
directly on the web site :D ).

See comments inline:

This is where you install stuff. The typical system-wide directory is
/usr/local on Linux, but we recommend you don't do that but rather
install into a user-writable dir, such as ~/target.
If unsure, you can use the default.

If unsure, use the default.

If a package is missing, where do we get it from? Say we're missing
Boost, we need to install it before we can proceed. pybombs can use the
package manager of your system, or compile from src.
deb,src is a good setting for Debian/Ubuntu, because it tries to use the
standard package installer if possible, but can always fall back on to
the source build, which should always work.

If unsure, leave the default.

Hope this helps.
