Components needed for Ezcap EzTV dongle

GNU Radio
1

Once again, thank you for reading this.

Installing the UHD library was painless and now I want to know which
components I need to use my Ezcap EzTV dongle, when it eventually
arrives.

anything interesting done. Also i’m not sure UHD is required for the
RTLSDR, I think it uses it’s own module ( or just write samples to
disk and process later with Gnuradio ). It all depends on what you
want to do.

Thanks Andrew,

I thought I read somewhere that UHD was required but I could very easily
be mistaken. Perhaps someone who is using on of these dongles can let me
know. Now to complete the next step.

What do I need for Python support?

What do I need for gnuradio-companion support?

What do I need for gr-utils support?

What do I need for gr-wxgui support?

I’ve installed several devel packages but evidently not the correct
ones. By the way, I’m using Mageia version 1, a fork off Mandriva.

well lets start with the cmake output, post everything it says here
and lets see what up.

There is a build-gnuradio script which is known to work on other
RPM-based systems so maybe you can use that? It should handle all the
dependencies for a full install.
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/InstallingGR#Using-the-build-gnuradio-script

Otherwise the dependencies are listed in the wiki, but finding the
right list can be tricky. Here is one for opensuse:
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/SuseInstall

If that’s not sufficient or complete, I know the list on this page is
good:
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/UbuntuInstall

When you succeed maybe you can help us update this page, which seems
hopelessly out of date:
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/MandrivaInstall

Concerning the UHD dependency, gr-osmosdr also provides a wrapper
around gr-uhd if UHD is avaialble and I think gr-baz provides some
networking tool for UHD devices, hence the dependency.

Thanks Alex, I had no end of trouble with the build-gnuradio script and
I’ll have a look at the links that you have provided.
