I would like to use Cmake to build the 3.5.1 release, however the tarball has no CMakeLists.txt files. The project AFAICT seems generally to be Cmake enabled, is there a reason for excluding the tarballs? Any help would be appreciated. ---

Barry, GNU Radio as of 3.5 is still officially an autotools build project. The cmake is technically an experimental build, so we don’t package it up with the releases. You can use git and checkout the v3.5.1 tag to get the latest stable version with cmake. We should be moving over to cmake-only when we release 3.6. ---

I actually have our Jenkins system auto build and package up the master branch weekly. You can find them under the “Development” heading here: [http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/Download](http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/Download) I use pretty much the same thing you did to tarballs. Just remember that these ones here are based of the latest git HEAD version, not any tagged version, which is why they are development builds. ---

For building from HEAD, there’s always “build-gnuradio” – for Ubuntu and Fedora.
