gnuradio-audio backend instead of pulseaudio

[Ricardo Saiz Villoria]

Hello

I have installed gqrx from source because debian repositories have version 2.6. I downloaded the tar source from http://gqrx.dk/download but I did not quite understand how to compile it, so I followed the instructions in the README file and ran:

$ git clone https://github.com/csete/gqrx.git gqrx.git
$ cd gqrx.git
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ qmake ..
$ make

I also ran volk_profile but I don't know if that helped anyway. Gqrx was installed but it sent the audio only through alsa. Then I went back and found the output of qmake:

Project MESSAGE: Gqrx configured with gnuradio-audio backend.

The problem was I did not have package "libpulse-dev". I installed it from synaptic and then qmake returned:
Gqrx configured with pulseaudio backend.

Now, gqrx runs nicely and sends audio to pulse. This is specially usefull for null-sinks.

Now I would like to have the program installed in a folder other than my home/downloads but the README file does not help. But this is general for programs installed from source, not specific to gqrx.

Despite the troubles, this makes a great program. Thanks Alexandru for your work.

If you open gqrx.pro you will see the list of options you can pass to
qmake. However, the official way to build gqrx is using cmake.
