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

Please see http://gnuradio.org/trac for the wiki, bug tracking,

The bleeding edge code can be found in our subversion repository at
http://gnuradio.org/svn. To checkout the latest, use this
pkgsrc is not and instead uses -devel to indicate a package of a
not-yet-released or unstable version.)
+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"
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
build the firmware for the USRP. If you don't have a USRP, don't
worry about it.
+(10) Guile 1.6 or 1.8
+
+Scheme interpreter. http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/guile.html

Optional, but nice to have:
-(10) wxPython. Python binding for the wxWidgets GUI framework. Use
+(11) wxPython. Python binding for the wxWidgets GUI framework. Use
version 2.5.2.7 or later. Again, almost all systems have this
available.
As a last resort, build it from source (not recommended!)
http://www.wxpython.org
-(11) xmlto version ? or later. http://cyberelk.net/tim/xmlto/index.html
+(12) xmlto version ? or later. http://cyberelk.net/tim/xmlto/index.html
Wrapper for XML conversion tools to ease e.g. making html from docbook.
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
