Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Issues Installing From Source

[mleech]

So, if I could get an actual, detailed, error-report when build-gnuradio fails, I can look into fixing it.

It has worked well on Ubuntu 14.04 since 14.04 was released, but it may be the case that some system update changed something that buggered up an assumption that build-gnuradio is making.  But without a complete log of a "-v" run,
 I have no way of figuring out what's going wrong.

Hello Peter

I had installed yesterday on my laptop with Ubuntu 14.04

I tried using WGET......... but I got the similar problems like you regarding the git..

So, I have installed it from source and haven't got any problem.

You can follow these steps for installing it from source

Thee are two methods to install but I preferred to install it from source

1)Install Dependencies:

//Copy the below commands and paste it in terminal(all at a single time)//
sudo apt-get -y install libfontconfig1-dev libxrender-dev libpulse-dev swig g++ automake autoconf libtool python-dev libfftw3-dev libcppunit-dev libboost-all-dev libusb-dev fort77 sdcc sdcc-libraries libsdl1.2-dev python-wxgtk2.8 git-core guile-1.8-dev libqt4-dev python-numpy ccache python-opengl libgsl0-dev python-cheetah python-lxml doxygen qt4-dev-tools libqwt5-qt4-dev libqwtplot3d-qt4-dev pyqt4-dev-tools python-qwt5-qt4

2)Install prerequesties for UHD
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev python-cheetah doxygen python-docutils cmake

3)Installing UHD from git
git clone git://github.com/EttusResearch/uhd.git

4)Cmake for UHD
//Follow these commands step by stp//
cd uhd/host/
mkdir build
cd build/
cmake ../

5) //Check the output of above one regarding the disabled components. Based upon our requirement we should select the USRP.//
For example: cmake -DENABLE_USRP_E_UTILS=ON -DENABLE_E100=ON ../

6)make

7)Installing UHD and setting library path
make test(check whether it shows 100% or not)
sudo make install
cd
sudo gedit .bashrc

8)//Add this after HISTCONTROL=ignoredups:ignorespace//

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:usr/local/lib

//Save it and close//

9)git clone http://gnuradio.org/git/gnuradio.git
///This will take some time Can take even more than 2hrs////

cd gnuradio/
mkdir build/
cd build/
cmake ../
make
make test
sudo make install
sudoldconfig
cd
cd /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/
pwd
//copy the path//
cd
sudo gedit .bashrc

10) In 8th step we have added a path, after that one add

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

//if u prefer python 3.0 then u can add 3.0//
//Save it and close//

11)sudo ldconfig

12)sudo apt-get install gnuradio-companion

Note:
1)If you get any error related to dpkg then run the command as suggested in the error.

2)Installation can take around 2hours and it depends upon the speed of your internet

I hope it could help you

 

Regards

Krishna

I am afraid I did not document this, but I ran into similar issues with the
script and Kubuntu 14.04. However doing it all by hand, resolving
dependencies, load uhd and gnuradio sources, compile the stuff, installing
udev rules, installing the gnuradio icons by hand and such, this all was not
a big deal, and in some cases I simply read the script as a manual how to do
it.

Pybombs is something I could not become friends with yet. For many people it
seems to work, for me all attempts were disastreous.
