Re: Releases v3.8.4.0 and v3.9.3.0

Hi Marcus,

However SDRPlay3 only builds on gnuradio3.9

One of the many million paths I’ve gone down because different gnuradio versions
break different aspects of other software:

dietpi@DietPi:~/gr-sdrplay3/build$ cd dietpi@DietPi:~/gr-sdrplay3$ cd build
dietpi@DietPi:~/gr-sdrplay3/build$ cmake ..

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:95 (find_package):
  Could not find a configuration file for package "Gnuradio" that is
  compatible with requested version "3.9".

  The following configuration files were considered but not accepted:

    /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/cmake/gnuradio/GnuradioConfig.cmake, version: 
3.8.2.0
>     /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/cmake/gnuradio/GnuradioConfig.cmake, version:

So I’ll keep searching for a gnuradio 3.9 release inside a PI OS image.

Thanks

Glen
