GQRX install 100% running in OSX Yosemite.

[Fukt Ifano]

Hi, I'm new to command line stuff etc. Installed GQRX via macports. First time using command line in OSX, install completed and running in OSX Yosemite. First time using macports also. Thanks for a feature filled program, runs a lot better than I had it running under windows or linux. As I said I'm new to the command line stuff but many thanks for a great program with many features. I use an iMac running Yosemite and the watson rtl based wide band sdr receiver. 100Khz-2Ghz coverage. Again many thanks for a great program and excellent group support. J.Bain

Hi J. Bain,

Thanks for the feedback!
Michael Dickens has spent a lot of time packaging gqrx and its
dependencies for macports and I'm glad to hear that it works for you.

I am newer than new to running any command line programs in OSX. I did the installation using the macports package MacPorts-2.3.3-10.10-Yosemite.pkg. The installation says it was successful but I cannot figure out how to run GQRX. Do I need to install something else to get it to run? If so, what do I need and where do I get it?

TIA for helping this newbie.

Hi Arnie W8DU - What you've installed is "just" MacPorts itself, nothing
else; 'port' should be installed into /opt/local/bin. You can verify
this via:
{{{
ls -lAF /opt/local/bin/port
}}}
If so, then you'll want to change your shell login to include something
like:
{{{
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
}}}
Once that's in place, you'll need to selfupdate 'port':
{{{
sudo port selfupdate
}}}
And, once that's done, you can install Gqrx via:
{{{
sudo port install gqrx
}}}
Now, go off and get some coffee (or beer, or go for a run / bike, or
read a good book, or sleep overnight, or ...) because it's going to take
a few hours (or more) to download and install everything needed for Gqrx
to run. If this step fails, make a note of the port that's causing the
issue (PORT), then do:
{{{
sudo port clean PORT
sudo port install PORT
}}}
and if that works, then go back to
{{{
sudo port install gqrx
}}}
Keep repeating as needed.

Once that's done (assuming it succeeded), then you can execute gqrx
either from the command line in a shell via "gqrx", or via the Mac .app
found in:
{{{
/Applications/MacPorts/Qt4/Gqrx.app
}}}

Hope this helps! - MLD

Michael:

Thank you for replying so quickly. I am sure I will have more questions once I parse out your response since I have never had an occasion to even use shell on my macbook pro Yosemite machine.

I willtry to follow your directions tonite and get back to you with a report.

 Again, Thanks!
