Building on Mac OSX

GNU Radio
1

Hello,

I have almost gotten all the dependencies needed for gnuradio recognized
however I have qt qwt and wx installed but they aren’t being recognized
by
cmake. I have also tried to manually enable them with the
-DENABLE_GR_QTGUI
AND -DENABLE_GR_WXGUI options with no luck. I have used homebrew to
install
almost all of the dependencies and it has been a great help. If anyone
have
any experience building gnuradio on OSX I would appreciate any input.

Thanks,

Jeff (KK4EPP)

wxgui is a matter of getting python -c “import wx” to work. Did you set
your PYTHONPATH correctly for wx?

for qtgui, the build must find pyqt4 and qt4libs. Which checks are or
are not passing?

Hi,

I installed qwt via macports and cmake seems to have a problem finding
the qwt include dirs on my machine, I had to manually set
QWT_INCLUDE_DIRS with cmake-gui (to /opt/local/lib/qwt in my case). No
problems with WX, though.

I was just having an issue with the python path. gr_wxgui is enabled
now. I
have the qt stuff installed but will look at manually pointing cmake in
the
right direction. I think I can make this work. I hate to give up now. It
would be nice to write up a brew formula for gnuradio but I have no idea
how
I would get my system back to a default state for testing after all I
have
done (without reinstalling).

If you’re not using homebrew for anything else, it’s probably easier
just to switch to using macports. I had a good crack at getting
gnuradio installed via homebrew but switched to macports in the end
because I couldn’t get the gui stuff working.

Cheers,
Ben

I think I have everything figured out now I have pyqt pygtk and pywx
installed however cmake still isn’t finding pygtk even though the
version is
correct (running 2.24.0) and python -c “import gtk” has no output.

Anyone know what the specific check actually is?

Alternatively it may be using the wrong python. Is there a way to
specify
which python to use. If it uses the same path as the normal terminal
then it
will work however if it sets the standard /usr/bin/python it will fail.

Thanks,
Jeff

GR_PYTHON_CHECK_MODULE(“pygtk >= 2.10.0” gtk
“gtk.pygtk_version >= (2, 10, 0)” PYGTK_FOUND)

basically its importing gtk, and running that comparison above

what does it yield for you?

could you list the dependencies to install trough macports to build
gnuradio from source on OS X Lion ? the gnuradio port of macports fails
to build…

port rdeps gnuradio | sed -e “1d” | awk '{ print $1 '} | sort | uniq |
grep -v gnuradio

results in the long appended list. Many of these are already available
on OSX (10.5 / 6 / 7), but MacPorts generally does not use those. Some
are build dependencies, but not runtime. Some are for documentation
only. All of that said, GNU Radio still has a bunch of dependencies,
which in turn have their own dependencies. If you have all of the below
installed, then the ‘cmake’ port has just a single added dependency
(libidn). I don’t know how many of the below ports are removed by not
including the GNU autotools.

BTW> “real soon now” I’ll be bumping the MacPorts ports for GNU Radio to
3.5.0 (or 3.5.1, or .2 – the latest formal release). Could be a few
weeks, or could be a few months depending on how my work queue goes.
