Cannot build USRP./configure reports sdcc is missing in spite of it being installed!

GNU Radio
1

Hi List,

I’m trying to build GNU Radio from source, and when I run ./configure,
I see USRP is not going to be built under the heading : “The following
components were skipped either because you asked not to build them or
they didn’t pass configuration checks:”

gcell
usrp
gr-usrp
gr-gcell
gr-audio-jack
gr-audio-osx
gr-audio-portaudio
gr-audio-windows
gr-comedi
gr-gpio
gr-radar-mono
gr-video-sdl
gr-sounder
gr-utils

This is the text from ./configure pertaining to USRP:

checking for sdcc… sdcc -mmcs51 --no-xinit-opt
checking for asx8051… no
USRP requires sdcc. sdcc not found. See http://sdcc.sf.net
Unable to find firmware compiler SDCC.
Not building component usrp.

Why? I’ve installed sdcc and double checked it. Still I cannot get
USRP to build. I’m on Fedora 12. Please help.

Thanks,
Arya.

Hi,

I tried these and it fixed the problem.

ln -s /usr/bin/sdcc-asx8051 /usr/bin/asx8051
ln -s /usr/bin/sdcc-aslink /usr/bin/aslink

Earlier I had tried exporting /usr/libexec/sdcc to PATH, but that didn’t
fix it.

Thanks,
Arya

Thanks,

Fedora installs it into /usr/libexec/sdcc.

Add /usr/libexec/sdcc to your path:

$ PATH=$PATH:/usr/libexec/sdcc.
