GNURadio Installation

GNURadio Ubuntu Installation Guide:


Install Dependencies


The following command line scripts will install all the required dependencies. Before running them you should ensure that the Universe repository are enabled in "Software Sources".

To execute the script copy & paste the relevant command line into a terminal.



Maverick (10.10)


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 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

II. Get the source code

To build and install GNU Radio, you may either download a release tarball, or you may use the git client software to check out code from our git repository. Please refer to the download page for pointers on where to get the code.
To get a handle on what's going on, clone the repository (if you haven't already), then run "qgit" or one of the other git viewers on it. It will show you all of the branching and merging, diffs, etc.

III. Start the build process

To compile, there are 5 steps. Start by cd'ing to the gnuradio directory, then complete the following commands:
$ ./bootstrap         # Do NOT perform this step if you are building from a tarball.
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make check
$ sudo make install

For my configuration:


*********************************************************************
The following components were skipped either because you asked not
to build them or they didn't pass configuration checks:


gcell
gr-gcell
gr-comedi
gr-qtgui
gr-uhd
gr-shd


These components will not be built.


Configured GNU Radio release 3.4.2 for build.

Answer From FAQ:

How come not all the components are getting installed?

When you run ./configure, it might say that some components are not being installed. It might look like this:
*********************************************************************
The following components were skipped either because you asked not
to build them or they didn't pass configuration checks:

gcell
gr-gcell
gr-comedi
gr-radar-mono

These components will not be built.
This is not a problem per se. It is not usual to install all the components of GNU Radio. However, if a component is listed here which you actually need, you're probably lacking some dependencies. Check the build guide again, or try the automatic build script.

Error:


ImportError: libgnuradio-core-3.4.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Path Setting?
add /usr/local/bin to etc/ld.so.conf

Common Problems

Bad LD_LIBRARY_PATH

You get
dburgess@localhost:~/r2.5Lacassine/apps$ ./OpenBTS 
./OpenBTS: error while loading shared libraries: libosip2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The problem is that your LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not include a path to the named library, libosip2.so.4 in this example. You need to define your LD_LIBRARY_PATH in your .bashrc or your .cshrc, depending on which shell type you use.

Fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Then (sudo) ldconfig

Fixed!
