+Welcome to GNU Radio!
+
+
+Please see http://gnuradio.org for the wiki, bug tracking,
+and source code viewer.
+
+If you've got questions about GNU Radio, please subscribe to the
+discuss-gnuradio mailing list and post your questions there.
+http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/MailingLists
+
+There is also a "Build Guide" in the wiki that contains OS specific
+recommendations:

+
+
+The bleeding edge code can be found in our git repository at
+http://gnuradio.org/git/gnuradio.git/. To checkout the latest, use
+this command:
+
+ $ git clone git://gnuradio.org/gnuradio

+
+How to Build GNU Radio:
+
+For more complete instructions, see the "Building GNU Radio" page in
+the GNU Radio manual (can be built or found online at
+http://gnuradio.org/doc/doxygen/page_build.html).
+
+See these steps fow a quick build guide.
+
+ (1) Ensure that you've satisfied the external dependencies. These
+ dependencies are listed in the manual's build page and are not
+ presented here to reduce duplication errors.
+
+ On systems using pkgsrc (e.g. NetBSD and Dragonfly), build
+ meta-packages/gnuradio, which will build a previous release and
+ force installation of the dependencies. Then pkg_delete the
+ gnuradio package, which will leave the dependencies. (This
+ should also work on OSX.)
+
+ See the wiki at http://gnuradio.org for details.
+
+
+ (2) Building from cmake:
+
+ $ mkdir $(builddir)
+ $ cd $(builddir)
+ $ cmake [OPTIONS] $(srcdir)
+ $ make
+ $ make test
+ $ sudo make install
+
+
+That's it!
+
+Options:
+Useful options include setting the install prefix and the build type:
+
+ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<directory to install to>
+ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="<type>"
+
+Currently, GNU Radio has a "Debug" type that builds with '-g -O2'
+useful for debugging the software and a "Release" type that builds
+with '-O3', which is the default.
+
+

+
+ KNOWN INCOMPATIBILITIES
+
+
+ GNU Radio triggers bugs in g++ 3.3 for X86. DO NOT USE GCC 3.3 on
+ the X86 platform. g++ 3.2, 3.4, and the 4.* series are known to work well.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ NOTES
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+To run the examples you may need to set PYTHONPATH. Note that the
+prefix and python version number in the path needs to match your
+installed version of python.
+
+ $ export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
+
+You may want to add this to your shell init file (~/.bash_profile if
+you use bash).
+
+
+Another handy trick if for example your fftw includes and libs are
+installed in, say ~/local/include and ~/local/lib, instead of
+/usr/local is this:
+
+ $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/local/lib
+ $ make CPPFLAGS="-I$HOME/local/include"
+
+
+Sometimes the prerequisites are installed in a location which is not
+included in the default compiler and linker search paths. This
+happens with pkgsrc and NetBSD. To build, tell configure to use these
+locations:
+
+ LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib -R/usr/pkg/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" ./configure --prefix=/usr/gnuradio
+

+
+ Legal Matters
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Some files have been changed many times throughout the
+years. Copyright notices at the tops of these files list which years
+changes have been made. For some files, changes have occurred in many
+consecutive years. These files may often have the format of a year
+range (e.g., "2006 - 2011"), which indicates that these files have had
+copyrightable changes made during each year in the range, inclusive.
