As of August 3, 2006 we have restructured the GNU Radio build process
and moved the source code repository from CVS to subversion.

The bleeding edge code can be found in our subversion repository at
http://gnuradio.org/svn. To checkout the latest, use this
For those using pkgsrc, see gnuradio-pkg_chk.conf. Those not using
pkgsrc may also find the list useful.
+(0) GNU make
+
+It used to be required to have a "reasonable make", meaning GNU make,
+BSD make, or perhaps Solaris make. It is now required to use GNU
+make. Version 3.81 should certainly work; the intent is not to
+require the bleeding edge.
+
+Note that the examples below are written with "make". They probably
+should say "gmake", as GNU make is installed as gmake when it is not
+the native make.

(1) The "autotools"
autoconf 2.57 or later
respectively.
[FIXME: GNU/Linux packages of single-precision fftw are typically called ??]
-In systems using pkgsrc, install math/fftwf.

+In systems using pkgsrc, install math/fftwf, which provides the
+single-precision libraries.
(4) Python 2.3 or later http://www.python.org
libpython you'll most likely need those too.
-(5) Numeric python library http://numeric.scipy.org
+(5) Numpy python library http://numeric.scipy.org
Provides a high performance array type for Python.

-(6) The Boost C++ Libraries http://www.boost.org
+(6) The Boost C++ Libraries (1.35 or later) http://www.boost.org
-We use the Smart Pointer library. Most systems already have the boost
-libraries available. In the unlikely event that yours doesn't,
-download the source and follow the build instructions. They're
-different from the normal ./configure && make
+We use Smart Pointers, the thread library and a bunch of other boost stuff.
+If your system doesn't have boost 1.35 or later, see README.building-boost
+for additional info.
(7) cppunit 1.9.14 or later. http://cppunit.sourceforge.net
You may want to add this to your shell init file (~/.bash_profile if
you use bash).
-Note that on Fedora Core 4 and 5 when running on X86_64 machines,
-python is shippped with a strange (wrong) configuration that requires
-you to add both the lib64 and lib paths to your PYTHONPATH.
-E.g.,
-
- $ export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib64/python2.4/site-packages:/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages
-
-[Don't complain to us, complain to the Fedora Core packagers.]
Another handy trick if for example your fftw includes and libs are
projects / debian / gnuradio / blobdiff
