Instead, rely on your operating system's package manager or +binary installation process (the <b>apt-get</b> system in Debian and +Ubuntu, <b>yum</b> in RedHat and Fedora, etc.). GNU Radio tries to keep an +up-to-date build guide for the majority of the supported operating +systems on gnuradio.org +(http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/BuildGuide). + +Not all dependencies are required for all components, and not all +components are required for a given installation. The list of required +components is determined by what the user requires from GNU Radio. If, +for example, you do not use any Comedi-based hardware, do not worry +about building gr-comedi. + +\subsection dep_global Global Dependencies +\li git http://code.google.com/p/msysgit +\li cmake http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html +\li boost (>= 1.35) http://www.boostpro.com/download +\li cppunit (>= 1.9.14) http://gaiacrtn.free.fr/cppunit/index.html +\li fftw3f (>= 3.0) http://www.fftw.org/install/windows.html +\li gsl (>= 1.10) http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gsl.htm + +\subsection dep_python Python Wrappers +\li python (>= 2.5) http://www.python.org/download/ +\li swig (>= 1.3.31) http://www.swig.org/download.html +\li numpy (>= 1.1.0) http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/ + +\subsection dep_docs docs: Building the documentation +\li doxygen (>= 1.5) http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html + +\subsection dep_grc grc: The GNU Radio Companion +\li Cheetah (>= 2.0) http://www.cheetahtemplate.org/ +\li pygtk (>= 2.10) http://www.pygtk.org/downloads.html + +\subsection dep_gr_qtgui gr-qtgui: The QT-based Graphical User Interface +\li qt (>= 4.4) http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/ +\li qwt (>= 5.2) http://sourceforge.net/projects/qwt/ +\li pyqt (>= 4.4) http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/download +\li pyqwt (>= 5.2) http://pyqwt.sourceforge.net/download.html + +\subsection dep_gr_wxgui gr-wxgui: The WX-based Graphical User Interface +\li wxpython (>= 2.8) http://www.wxpython.org/ +\li python-lxml (>= 1.3.6) http://lxml.de/ + +\subsection dep_gr_audio gr-audio: Audio Subsystems (system/OS dependent) +\li audio-alsa (>= 0.9) http://www.alsa-project.org +\li audio-jack (>= 0.8) http://jackaudio.org/ +\li portaduio (>= 19) http://www.portaudio.com/ +\li audio-oss (>= 1.0) http://www.opensound.com/oss.html +\li audio-osx +\li audio-windows + +\subsection dep_uhd uhd: The Ettus USRP Hardware Driver Interface +\li uhd (>= 3.0.0) http://code.ettus.com/redmine/ettus/projects/uhd/wiki + +\subsection dep_shd shd: The Symplex Hardware Driver Interface +\li shd (>= 3.0.0) + +\subsection dep_gr_video_sdl gr-video-sdl: PAL and NTSC display +\li SDL (>= 1.2.0) http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php + +\subsection dep_gr_comedi gr-comedi: Comedi hardware interface +\li comedilib (>= 0.8) http://www.comedi.org/ + + + +\section build_gr_cmake Building GNU Radio + +GNU Radio is built using the Cmake build system +(http://www.cmake.org/). The standard build method is as follows: + +\code +$ mkdir $(builddir) +$ cd $(builddir) +$ cmake [OPTIONS] $(srcdir) +$ make +$ make test +$ sudo make install +\endcode + +The \$(builddir) is the directory in which the code is built. This +<b>cannot</b> be the same path as where the source code resides. Often, +\$(builddir) is \$(srcdir)/build. + +Options can be used to specify where to find various library or +include file dependencies that are not automatically being found +(-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH) or set the prefix +(-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=(dir)). + +Components can also be enabled and disabled through the options. For a +component named *gr-comp*, the option to disable would look like: +-DENABLE_GR_COMP=off. The "off" could also be "false" or "no", and +cmake is not case sensitive about these options. Similarly, "true", +"on", or "yes" will turn this component on. All components are enabled +by default. + + +\subsection build_gr_cmake_e100 Building for the E100 + +To build GNU Radio on the Ettus Research E100 embedded platforms, +Cmake has to know that the processors uses the NEON extensions. Use +the + +\code +cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING="-mcpu=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp -g" \ + -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING="-mcpu=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp -g" \ + <gr_source_dir> +\endcode + + +\section build_old_autotools Building Using Old Autotools Method + +As of version 3.5, we have moved to using Cmake as the default, +preferred build system. If for some reason, Cmake fails on your +system, GNU Radio still includes the old autotools build process as a +parallel build method.
