installing gnuradio and gr-osmosdr

[Ben Hiett]

having a hard time getting gnuradio to work with my dvb-t usb stick

latest attempt has been to move to using pybomb, e.g.

https://smyl.es/how-to-install-gnu-radio-fftw-rtl-sdr-grosmosdr-and-more-using-pybombs-with-dependencies-by-rpmdeb-or-build-from-source/

originally i installed gnuradio and gnuradio-dev via apt-get install, under
ubuntu 14.04 which gave me gnuradio v2.7.2.1

i then tried to build gr-osomosdr but it failed (i took the cmake route as
per: http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/GrOsmoSDR)

maybe i don't need to build gr-osmosdr if it is already packaged up with
gnuradio, how could i see if the block is there, i.e. what dir would it be
in if it existed?

unfortunately pybomb fails with the following error:
$sudo ./pybombs install gnuradio

[ 29%] Built target _wavelet_swig_swig_tag
make[2]: *** No rule to make target
`/usr/include/gnuradio/blocks/vector_sink_c.h', needed by

also gr-osmosdr also fails:

anyone else seen this sort of issue?

Hi Ben,

current master of gr-iqbal and gr-osmosdr requires gnuradio 3.7.3 or
later, cmake should have printed that when configuring...

Can't really help with pybombs, never used it.

Best regards,
Dimitri
