Problem Building in Ubuntu 12.04LTS

[Kent Frazier]

I am following the instructions "Building gqrx ubuntu 12.04LTS" from the SaturnWiki found on the sticky in this group.

When I get to the "Building and Installing gr_osmoSDR" section I get errors after entering "cmake ../ -Wno-dev" I receive the following errors:

-- Build type not specified: defaulting to release.
-- Extracting version information from git describe...

Any help appreciated.

Follow up question:  Does the radio hardware have to be connected to the computer during any/all phases of the build process?

[Simon Kennedy]

Kent,

No, the device does not need to be connected. Prove it is working by checking with Gnu Radio because until you get Gnu Radio working you won't get gqrx working. There are plenty of sites that will tell you how to run a simple Gnu radio flow graph.

Good luck.
Simon.

Thanks Simon,

I have uninstalled what I had, and I am now running the script found on the GNURadio page to install GNU Radio.  I'll see how it goes from there.

[Simon Kennedy]

That should be ok, it always works for me on my 12.04 machine.

I now have Gqrx installed and running on my netbook. Only one issue... The Gqrx window is larger that my display and extends past the bottom of my screen. I have tried to resize it, but it will not resize vertically. I can get some horizontal adjustment however this doesn't solve the problem. I also noticed that there are only two buttons in the upper left corner of the title bar (close and minimize).  I can post a screen shot if they are allowed on this group, if requested. 

I am able to resize other windows, so I don't think it is Ubuntu related.

I don't know the Unity interface so I have no clue how things are
resized there, but from a programming point of view I can assure you,
that the Gqrx main window is as normal as any other application main
window and can be resized down to a minimum size, which depends on the
desktop theme. On my desktop the height can go down to about 716
pixels. If I hide the main toolbar it gives additional 40 prixels or
so. Finally, I can move all the dock widgets (the controls on the
right side) into one notebook instead of the default two. This allows
me to resize the window down to about 400 pixels height - I hope your
screen is larger than that :-)

I have same problem on my netbook. Hold down the Alt key while repositioning the window and it'll drag past the screen. Not a perfect solution but a viable workaround.

I'm following your instructions, but gnuradio fails with this error:

Any ideas what might be happening here?

TIA

Just to let you know that I managed to solve all the compilation problems and now gqrx is working fine.
